I've been reading some of Trump's comments about China and how we are giving all of our money and jobs to them via a huge trade deficit.

Is anything being done about it? Could Trump strike a cord with Americans frustrated with unemployment and toxic China products? He's supposed to make a decision in 4 months as to whether he will run for president.

I read an article about China's growing military prowess ( China's Military Buildup - OnlyBuyAmerican.com ). It seems like there is a reason to be concerned about them.

Any thoughts?

Jim

Trump will never be President.

Although it would be Saturday Night Live's dream come true.

Why not? It isn't like he's not a accomplished man. He knows how business works, banks etc. The US seems to be lacking severely in those areas.

China has invested in itself. China has not spent the last 65 years investing in the growth of other countries in ahead of itself as the US has done. Even if China cut down playing with the value of their currency (and every country in the world does it), There is no way to rebuild manufacturing in the US to make it competative with any other low wage paying country. The US has too much NIMBY and not enough eminent domain.

Everyone has personal baggage, or once they become President, they really have baggage. And there is no way he could screw up this economy as bad as what Obama has. And he is experienced in business has charisma, business sense, and wants to stir this Country, on the right path, not off the beaten path, as what we are now seeing.
