Obama came in and bailed everybody out, which I totally disagreed with. I think we should have taken our lumps back then. That was the beginning of all the quantitative easy crap and what started the stock market on its upward trajectory.

Trump is borrowing billions from the US Treasury to build a mountain of unsold soybeans. What a legacy!

Remember I also said the Russian thing was all made up. How did you do on that?

Which Russian thing are you referring to? The part about Russian interference in our election, which was proven? I agree that, so far, no evidence of Mr. Trump or his campaign actively conspiring with the Russians, although Mr. Trump certainly accepted the stolen emails to read out at his rallies.



Also, do you agree with President Trump's assertion that the Chinese pay the tariffs directly into our Treasury?

Boo hoo, the chinese are throwing a fit. Funny, they called us greedy and arrogant which is exactly what they are. How are we the greedy ones when we run a $400 billion trade deficit? Sorry China, the easy money train is coming to a halt, your retaliation is weak.

This is what it looks like when an American president stands up to the Chinese. The Chinese cannot scare or intimidate us, either they play fair and negotiate in good faith or they get more tariffs and lose America and its companies manufacturing jobs which will have an enormous impact on their economy. The rest of the world should follow Americas lead, this is how you confront China and hold them to account. The buyers always have more leverage than the sellers, thanks to competition, it’s how it’s always been.

You screamed like the dickens when there was a tax cut.
Now you scream like the dickens because there is a tax increase.

I was curious about the rest of the world, googled and found this, a list of trade deficits and surpluses China has with the rest of the world:

As you can see, other countries have much smaller trading gaps with China. Some countries such as Japan, South Korea, Australia and Germany even have surpluses.

That's because they didn't allow their greedy manufacturing base run off to China.
