/—-/ If it we’re so easy, why didn’t other presidents, dem and repub do that? Why would other countries help us? What’s in it for them? China could and would retaliate against anyone helping us. Don’t be so naive and simplistic./——/ Tommy is critical of an American president standing up for America.Every day his mental decline becomes more pronounced. Praying for the US in these troubled times.
Trump is not standing up for America.
He absolutely is standing up for America by trying to level trade with China. It’s been one way in their favor for too long. Is it bumpy, painful and bruising right now? Yes.... I am not going to argue that. But, long term, it’s necessary. This is very difficult for Democrats who are used to capitulating and worrying about what the rest of the World wants us to do.
Take off your Trump-hating glasses and think about the China situation that has plagued us going back 35 years. What would you do different now?
Another person that doesn't understand what a trade deficit is.
I would not place a tariff on goods. I would work with allies to pressure China. But Trump can't do that because nobody likes him. Hate to state the obvious, but we didn't become a country without help, we did not win any wars alone. We've accomplished little on the international stage by ourselves. And we won't make China change without allies.
