Real estate mogul Donald Trump said Thursday that the US is being ripped off by the rest of the world, but he would change if he were president.
"If I decide to run, we are not going to have the kinds of problems we have now because I won't be taken advantage of by the rest of the world," Trump told FOX News Channel's Bill O'Reilly.
"We are being ripped off by the rest of the world to the tune of trillions of dollars," Trump said. "I am not talking about the old word, billions. I am talking about the new word, trillions."
Trump says he knows just how to fix things, starting with China.
"Twenty-five percent tax on China, unless they behave," he said.
"You're threatening China with a trade bill. Twenty-five percent tariff. That's big," O'Reilly retorted.
"No, they're threatening us.

“No, they’re threatening us.”
If he keeps this up, he’ll eventually get my vote. Must...resist...toupee-wearing president...
I’m sure Trump could open the China market to fair trade.
Ithink it is a comb job...but he has got spunk!
There’s a kind of blackmail going on. As long as we’re China’s bestest customer, they’ll keep their nukes in the silos. What would a tariff do? I dunno.
A president who is going to do something about the unilateral trade war the Chinese have been waging against us for 30 years?
This is really getting interesting.
Against Obama, Jimma' Carter would get my vote!
I wonder what Walmart’s going to think of that idea?
Trump can afford the best hair plugs in the world, if he wanted that. I think he’d look better with a Kojak ‘do.
True. But he does have spunk.
I won't say it, nope I won't go there, nope won't... ; )
In other words he would raise prices of goods sold here from China by 25%.
Nice... I thought Republicans were against taxes?
????
It’s not a toupee. It’s a comb-over. “Shocking truth behind Donald Trump’s hair revealed”
He would be thousands of times better than BO regardless of how he combs his hair.
Bingo!
China would collapse within a quarter if we slapped a 25 % tariff on them.
In the long run that is not a good thing for America either.
Cheap goods is addictive to the general public
I will....he doesn't have any 'spunk' left because he downloaded inside some 42nd street hooker.

“Nice... I thought Republicans were against taxes?”
You had better tell, Michigan Governor, Rick Snyder that.
