Trump Heading To China. $1 Trillion Deal? China On American Soil?

[SaxonJackson]

It appears that Trump wants to make a $1 Trillion dollar deal with China and pitch the idea that China open various ventures here on American soil. Now THAT's the sort of "America First" stuff I would expect from Trump. Remember not that long ago when MAGA demanded that China not be permitted to own any land in America? Yeah -- me too. Anyway, Trump is headed to China along with Elon Musk, Tim Cook, BlackRock, Blackstone, VISA, and others to pitch this wonderful partnership with "America's greatest enemy." Isn't life all Skittles and Unicorns?

Reports that President Trump is considering a deal that would allow China to invest $1 trillion in the U.S. are setting off alarm bells among conservative Republicans.

China last October reportedly offered to ramp up investment in the U.S. in exchange for the Trump administration rolling back national security restrictions on Chinese deals and providing a break on tariffs for any factories built on American soil, according to Bloomberg.

Some responses from the MAGA crowd:

Steve Johnson, a self-described "America First/MAGA conservative," tweeted, "China is our number 1 enemy and it's not even close. It's crazy after what they did in 2020 and have been doing, that we continue relationships with them. I would label them a terrorist country if I was President. They have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans using cartels bringing in fentanyl and bring over viruses into our Country. They have Chinese national spy's in our Universities and have setup illegal bio labs as well, etc… F–– China." MAGA Republicans push back on $1 trillion Trump investment deal - NewsBreak

Fox News host Laura Ingraham lamented a report that President Donald Trump was considering making a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping to allow China to build factories in the U.S., quoting the article saying the president was “on verge of making [a] massive error.”MSN

We got China out of Panama, Venezuela, Argentina, soon Cuba, and Iran's discount oil is being blockaded, so China is being rolled back in our hemisphere.

I'm with the GOP conservatives on this one. We don't need China's cash and more Chinese here in the US buying up farmland around US military bases, or other "Trojan Horse" spies in US businesses.

You probably should have put up a poll on this.

I like polls but 95% of the board prefer not to participate.

Anyway ... I appreciate your honesty. Most of Trump's followers will turn themselves into pretzels defending EVERYTHING he does.

Before the start of Donald Trump’s first presidential term, soybeans were the absolute largest U.S. agricultural export to China. In 2016, China bought $13.8 billion worth of U.S. soybeans, which accounted for over 40% of their total soybean imports and more than half of all American soy exports

China is projected to import around $3.08 billion in U.S. soybeans

Trump cost farmers $10 billion

Trump probably wants the US GDP to explode so he gets more tax revenue to spend, but dealing with China here isn't worth the risk.

The downside is that we still need to deal with the $40T debt.

China just gets its soybeans from Brazil now. And we aren’t selling as much to China.

We do need chinas cash and they need ours. We already had trade deals in place that worked for both sides. Who told you those deals were bad and that China was taking advantage of us? Trump? He was wrong. He’s a blowhard who talks out his ass.

I don’t want them necessarily buying farmland around our military bases either. Or all our ports. But we still want to do business with China.

Or I should say the rest of the world.

The rest of the world invests in America. Not just China. But because of trump they are all investing less. Don’t try to spin that as a good thing.

Trump clearly is not concerned about the debt. DOGE was just to cut programs that benefit the public to justify trumps tax breaks and bbb

Copilot says farmers are getting clobbered by Trump's policies, losing $44b, selling less & gas and fertilizer costing more.
