    Well if you read the article the thing most to take from it is that the view of our dumbfuck president is just a distortion of select issues and not the whole picture that he presents it as. The world of that dunbfuck is a falsification of reality designed to meet his ends. It is not realism.
    We’ll never have a balanced trade ledger with China and that’s not the point. What we want is to be able to play in their markets with investments and as you said earlier, Tech. They have locked us out of that.

    The NY Times said that we had a 400 Billion trade deficit with China and Mexico alone in 2016. So....

    Ok. So what exactly is wrong with a trade deficit? Why do you conservatives all of the sudden care about a trade deficit? And what will tariffs accomplish?

    We care about free trade and that in many instances it is not reciprocal. HTH

    A trade war has been happening for more than 20 years with China. They've been planning and fighting it while we are still in denial about it. The president is doing his best to lead/spin/frame/deceive(however you want to spin his action I don't care) us to fighting that trade war and not ignore it. He tends to rally the nationalists using tried and true democratic talking points that think that US manufacturing is dead just because of the rust belt epidemic.

    This is why, while it may have been politically popular, it was so stupid to pull out of the TPP. It was OUR trade deal and we were setting 90% of the terms. Instead, all of our Pacific allies signed up for the China Development Bank and we have become isolated instead of us isolating China.

    TLDR China IS a big problem and is playing GO. The president(or his Econ advisers anyways) are at least playing checkers. The american public is watching reruns of the Honeymooners.

    You would have flipped your lid if Obama met with North Korea. But after 40 years of railing against communism, you now think it's cool too partner with communists. Nice work.

    Obama a self admitted commie. Hondo was simply sucked in by the "we'll take from the productive and give to you" shit.

    You can only defend Trump by pointing at Obama. No one here said anything about flags. Dumbass.

    I'm not. I'm just pointing out your commie didn't deal with NK because he loves commies. Couldn't bring the heat. His little red heart wasn't in it. Just like you.
  • RaceBannonRaceBannon Member, Moderator, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 110,537 Founders Club
    I'm not defending Trump. What he has done speaks for itself.

    We point out Obama and Hillary to show how fucking hypocritical you are. You suck their dicks to this day then run here with anti Trump talking points that make you look like the hypocritical moron you are

    I wasn't even talking to you. Dumbass. But yes you have the exact same issue. Every response to dumb shit Trump does you point at Obama or Hillary.

    I'm just glad to see you love communists now.
