In his June 2015 escalator speech/announcement of his candidacy, Donald Trump zeroed in on lopsided trade terms with China and Mexico.

What makes it worse is how many Conservative icons went along with it. Rush was one.

And then there are the Freepers who supported and defended the free trade deals with the Chicoms. It didn't occur to them the Chicoms would steal the technology and use our money to build their military? As Conservatives, we should have been able to see that coming from the communists, but I guess our side was too blinded by our support for W to see it.

Now like W's handiwork in botching the winnable wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, his free trade deals have left the country in tatters.
