Trump: On second thought, China isn’t a currency manipulator and I like the Ex-Im Bank

Trump adapts to changing realities. That is what strategic thinkers do. Is strategic thinking such a lost art people don't recognize it when they see it happening right in front of their eyes? Looks like it. The people who don't recognize Trump's strategic thinking are the same ones who take him literally, but not seriously, like the elitist MSM does. Trump is a serious strategic thinker.

I voted for him, I thank God for him, and compared to Hillary, he is Zeus Almighty next to a puddle of monkey puke. As Chris Plante said today, “You know who reported to work at the Supreme Court? Neal Gorsuch, NOT Bill Ayers, or whatever psycho Hillary would have appointed.”

But....

There are a LOT of buts piling up.

Add to your list that China had already started to make changes with their currency after the election.

Xi is no fool and not new to this game.

Came away with Trump agreeing to go easy on trade (any agreements on which the Chinese have a history of just ignoring anyway) if they somehow report that they are keeping Kim in check—a game the Chinese have been playing for decades.

I looked but I didn’t find a reference. I read a LOT, and read it somewhere. Sorry.

What details like these do is paint the big picture, the big picture is reality. Too many translate details as big picture reality and carve it in stone, that’s non-strategic thinking.

China actually turned away NK coal shipments. That is real.

Which one of what AllahPundit observes do you disagree with and why?


Virtue signalling Never Trumper and defacto Hillary Clinton campaign aide AllahPundit no doubt agrees with many of POTUS’s current position. Yet he does not state that. Why?

Trump is NOT a Bush, McCain or Romney. Surely you understand that by now. Trump’s got more strategic thinking ability in his little toe than all three of those put together.

Do you think any of those three would have got China to agree to help with NK?


POTUS sees an opening on North Korea and Syria. Little would humiliate and demoralize Democrats more than seeing the kenyan’s foreign policy legacy go up in smoke INSTANTLY.

If a Xi works with me on N Korea, we can work on other details, later

Let’s cut out the ad-hominem and deal with the ISSUE itself.

So, is China a currency manipulator or not?

And why are we resurrecting the Ex-Im Bank from the dead?

This has nothing to do with whether one is a NeverTrumper or not. This has everything to do with the POLICY ITSELF regardless of who is President.

Right—part of the same game it has been playing for decades.

Are you new to this?

How do you know for absolute fact what China is doing now is “the same game”?

Trump is a game changer.

You forgot Art of The Deal and, the new one, strategic thinking! LOL!

What is to be gained by that? You can sit in the peanut gallery and virtue signal all you want. POTUS, OTOH, has to juggle many big “issues” at once and GOVERN. Understand the difference? Apparently, not.

So in the end, this has EVERYTHING to do with Never Trumpism. They were opposed to candidate Trump then and they are opposed to POTUS Trump now.

The threat to label China an currency manipulator extracted concessions from the Chinese on trade and NK. Yet, we still have "conservatives" (Never Trumpers) whining about it.

We’ve really not seen what China will do.

Not a never trumper, but keep trump honest. And more importantly keep supporters honest. I thought Bill Clinton supporters got gold for their gymnastics in supporting him. Trumpets are raising the bar.
