God willing, Donald Trump has fired the opening salvo. We have been living in free trade la-la land for decades. Lazy Americans are addicted to having external slave workers in China and internal slave workers, illegal aliens who corrupt American values
You know, it's not like that.
I go all over the world. I go all over this country. In the past 180 days, I have spent significant time on every continent except Australia and Africa.
And I have been all over the American West, Midwest, Southwest and Southeast.
Been a wild year.
One thing I saw: shuttered businesses all over America, plenty of people wanting to do the work. Skilled, dedicated people, intentionally being screwed by the globalist, elitist garbage who pushed all this crap and led to the collapse. Americans aren't lazy. But their "leaders" are.
Another thing I saw: the people in the other countries have no illusions about "free trade" or "open markets". What's theirs is theirs, what's ours is negotiable. With the outcome of the negotiation NEVER in doubt: the gringo loses.
Third worlders are like that. It's dog eat dog where they come from. They think we're a bunch of silly Kollege Kids, easy pickins. Even the other "first worlders"!
Everyone else plays by different rules: they play to win. And they don't care who gets hurt...long as it ain't them.
Time we got hip to the game again and played to win for ourselves.
