If we are to make America great again, we must do all we can to make sure that American interests are protected and that all Americans benefit from the actions of their government. Sadly, that is currently not the case. The incompetent, rudderless Obama administration’s negligence in foreign policy, trade and national security is making America less confident, less prosperous and less safe. Americans deserve better, and a Trump administration will turn us into winners again.
In late September, President Obama signed an agreement with the Chinese head of state that was intended to add a layer of protection to intellectual property in both countries. The ink was not dry before Chinese-sponsored agents began cyberattacks on private companies in the U.S. That agreement is not worth the paper it is printed on and the Obama administration is not doing a thing to fight back. Unfortunately, this has become an all-too-common pattern of behavior for President Obama.
The American people need to be told the truth about our “partner†China. China holds over $1.4 trillion in U.S. debt. The Chinese are, by far, the largest foreign debt holder. As of the end of August this year, the U.S. trade imbalance with China is already at $237 billion, on the way to an annual trade imbalance north of $350 billion. China’s economy is controlled by the government. Any notion that their economy is based on a free-market system is simply not true. If an American company wants access to the Chinese consumers, that company must share its intellectual property, a condition that violates international fair-trade standards, World Trade Organization rules and common sense.

At least the Donald is willing to attack this unfair trade.
Give THEM unfair trade.
That is a position of power
Do I think he is doing it for him or for America?
I think he is taking advantage of our winter of discontent, will use our dollars to enrich himself.
We will get some crumbs, but what is the end game?
Just my opinion
And the WSJ printing it is amazing
Trump seems to always be 10 chess moves ahead of the MSM and his competition. Watched his Illinois speech today.
He was going after Hillary.
It is as if he knows he will be nominated and is now starting in on Hillary.
This man is simply amazing. They call him the happy warrior. He genuinely seems to be the only one out of the whole bunch of candidates who is having a good time. That is intoxicating and everyone wants a piece of that.
He has got all the money he wants. He is getting old. Sometimes when you are as fortunate as that, you feel like giving something back to the country that made It possible.
Donald Trump is smarter than some folks think....
AND he is the only one talking about the border and immigration in an honest manner......Trump is serious about being elected president and he understands where the average American is
That'd be surprising.
Are there more foreign suckers who want to invest in the sham Chinese economy, or more Chinese who want to get their money out of China before their sham economy implodes?
Does he have the money to out do China?
with them on the rise?
I think he needs ours for that game
Don’t get me wrong but
Trump is Trump
Ping!
Trump’s Op Ed for WSJ
Correct on free traitors. BTW these stupid doctrines of free trade are not taught in the universities of Asian nations. Free trade propagandizing and doctrines are only found in Anglo (founded) nations and some European nations.
A 20 sec video posted on this twitter that gives us an idea of the typical Trump crowd. Today in Springfield, Illinois.
We just hired a mobster twice.
Now we triple down on popularisim?
Seen a lot of mob guys hand out turkeys this time of year.
I’ll take the constitution and put a boot in their arse
Tell me the definition of money!....lol..GOOGLE cant even save u there!
Making their raw material imports more expensive while making their exports cheaper. Sounds like an economic plan only a commie could love.
You are the one who brought up the subject on floating. Why don’t they do it and find out?

They're Commies, they like control.
I'm just saying that if we force them to let it float, with the idea it'll help us, don't be surprised if it doesn't.
Going back in time that I remember old W Bush understood the issue.

Bush didn’t have wherewithal to make it happen though.
Yeah well, maybe we should have a little control too. What is the trade imbalance anyways?
