President Trump’s economic nationalist fight against Chinese dominance is the “number one issue” driving Hispanic voters to back the president in the 2020 presidential election, a campaign official says. In a statement to Time Magazine, a Trump campaign official revealed that above every other issue, the administration’s fight against China is the most motivating issue for Hispanic voters who are on the fence about supporting the president in his re-election bid.
Time noted:
[The campaign is] also testing how to pitch Latino voters in New Mexico and Nevada on Trump’s Chinese tariffs. “The No. 1 issue driving Latino voters to like him and support him is his fight against China,” a senior campaign official says, adding that the campaign is working to figure out why that’s an animating issue. [Emphasis added]
This year, Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on steel imports, a ten percent tariff on aluminum imports, and recently hiked tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports to 25 percent. Likewise, the Trump administration is reviewing hiking tariffs on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese imports to 25 percent.
In recent polling by Harvard/Harris, though a majority of Hispanic voters said they opposed the hiking of tariffs on China, more than 2-in-5 said they supported the initiative. Meanwhile, more than 45 percent of Hispanic voters said they supported imposing a 25 percent tariff on an additional $300 billion in Chinese imports.
States with sizeable Hispanic populations have suffered mass job layoffs due to the United States’ trade deficit with China. California, with the third largest Hispanic population in the country, has had at least 562,000 jobs displaced due to free trade with China, according to the latest Economic Policy Institute analysis.

The Hispanics have a potential. In South America many killed communists. They are a proud people, but the democrats seem to work on them. Hopefully a hispanic king and shepherd will show them the way and boot these commies out
