Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that "both sides will lose" President Trump's trade war with China and that it is "a fool’s errand to think you’re going to be able to get China to change the fundamentals of their economic model by poking them in the eye with some tariffs."

“”a fool’s errand to think you’re going to be able to get China to change the fundamentals of their economic model by poking them in the eye with some tariffs.””

Anyone that thinks this is what Trump is doing ... is a fool.

And yet it’s happening.

Read it stated the other day that at least 40% of American companies in China are thinking of relocating out.

The fool’s errand is thinking pro-Trumpers will submit to progressive hostility.

Scabby little ratbastard poofter weasel who has never been closer to China than a carryout menu and whose only qualification is a resemblance to Alfred E. Neuman.

I didn’t read the article, but I’m sure Bunghole Pete’s alternative solution is “more negotiation”.

Mrs. Buttafudge, All South Bendover housewife of the year, is now offering her opinion on trade policy.

She should stick to things that she has first hand knowledge of; examples, sitting on the stove to warm up dinner, licking the spatula and the differences between KY Jelly and Vaseline.

She probably is a very good wife, butt that doesn't make her an expert on trade.

Well when someone of his background talks about global trade, China’s macro and microeconomics, and tariffs, you really have to sit up and take notice.

After all, he was a Navy officer briefly, mayor of South Bend, and he engages in buggery with a male. /s

"a fool’s errand to think you’re going to be able to get China to change the fundamentals of their economic model by poking them in the eye with some tariffs."

The "economic model" of the Chinese is to steal ideas, erect unsurmountable trade barriers, pollute the environment, make cheap garbage, harvest organs, put Americans out of work, and rip off others.

How about this, you vain fudge packer: break off trade with China altogether. That's what I advocate.

Buttigieg (German for Dumb Ass) - Trump went to the WHARTON School of Business. Ever heard of that? It’s only one of the premier business schools in the world. I’m sure that the mayor of South Bend Indiana knows more about business and economics than a guy who went to a lowly place like the Wharton School.

I don’t think we should completely break off trade. We should allow Bibles, Norinco rifles, 7.62x39 ammo, and super inexpensive babydoll nighties for women.

This important message brought to you by the Communist Party of China and comrade Pete Buttigieg.

Pete’s solution for everything seems to be to bend over and take it.

I’ll say it again: You cannot be the Prez and lead America on your hands and knees.

The left has always embraced criminals and murderers. What’s new.
