Former President Trump is calling for China to pay $60 trillion in “reparations” over the COVID-19 pandemic.

Appearing with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Trump said “China has to pay, they have to do something.

“I believe that worldwide, I’m not just talking about the United States, but worldwide [its] $60 trillion of damage,” he continued. “China doesn’t have $60 trillion, but they have to do something to make up for what they’ve done.”

“What they’ve done to the world is so horrible,” Trump added. “It’s been horrible all over the world and it doesn’t stop.”

“I think the origins are so obvious,” Trump also said. “I think if anybody thinks anything differently, they’re just kidding themselves.”

I believe that 60 trillion should increase 5 trillion per day it unpaid

CHUCK FINA!

Ostracize China from every single international forum until the bill is paid and apologies issued.

This is the first time a major politician has called for China to pay compensation for what they did

No other politician has the guts to go near this

Sounds good to me. The only point I’d add is what happens when it’s shown that we were complicit?

China should be stripped of all its American holdings. It should be prevented from doing any business or buying any property in the USA or any of its territories.

Should there be sanctions against our allies who continue to trade with them? That I’m not sure about.

The world could actually enforce this as they did on Haiti back when they turned their newly achieved independence into a genocidal orgy and invaded their neighbor to take the show on the road.

Simple answer:

China cedes all its land to America. It becomes the 51st state. All ethnic Chinese move to Africa. Americans start populating the new state of UsedToBeChina.

Cut off all trade, repatriate industry back to the USA. Stop the globalism. It is a failed 30 year experiment of an unsustainable economic system.

The just thing to do would be to deport our collaborators to China. We could accept their political prisoners in exchange.

We need an ACROSS THE BOARD import tariff to raise revenue and to promote repatriation of industry. Anything short of that is BS.

They SHOULD be executed but likely they will become contributors to CNN or MSNBC.
And live out the rest of their days in opulence.

I don’t know but Trump seemed to have China under control.
If,after he is reelected,he steps it up and started moving manufacturing,including pharmaceuticals,they might take him serious.

This is another point against the DeSantis is the same as Trump. This is a purely Trumpian idea and if he gets another 4 years he is going to fight to no end to make sure this is THE view of the majority of the world. This is a concept only Trump, among politicians, would think of.
