    What wolff is saying is that china is growing because it makes stuff that we no longer make in the US

    What he doesnt say is that unless we want to be a banana republic dominated by china America must take back our markets and produce here again

    I think there are more than a few Americans who think the same way

    It doesn't matter what you think if you don't have a viable plan to change it.

    I don't want to feed them, we are draining our aquifers to feed Chinese. These aquifers are going to be dry in 50 years, then how are we going to feed ourselves. I am also against Methanol for the same reason.

    Trump has a viable plan

    But on so many issues America is too divided to do anything

    In some cases Trump is casting pearls before swine who only care about keeping the cost of their next cell phone low

    No, the corporatist democrats and republican are both are equally to blame. Republicans are at odds with Trump on the trade deals, the Democrats are falling all over themselves criticizing Trump for taking a populist position that the democratic party itself used to hold. A party that use to represent labor unions when labor unions were a force in politics and were the main voice in protecting American jobs. Now they turn thier back on thier roots and oppose him just under the orange man bad umbrella.

    Did I mention either political party in my post that you responded to?

    No

    Yet you are answering me as if I did

    Did you read my post before responding?

    I think we agree this is a bipartisan issue of America v Swap Rats in Wasgington and the Chamber of Commerce

    Your also a snob. You do nothing but brag. So for all your word travel, you still haven't "seen" anything enlightening.

    You know nothing! Trump took the small fortune his 'daddy' had in Queens, and went into Manhattan to restore a major hotel at a time when the city was in a deep recession. As someone said; 'if Trump had been older he probably wouldn't have taken the risk'. With that one move, New York City was able to pull itself out of its recession.

    Trump did declare bankruptcy, twice I believe, and his father did say Donald would put him in his grave, and yet Trump managed to take his father's small fortune and turned himself into an international billionaire.

    Here is the 1988 interview by Oprah when she asked him if he would ever run for president:

    Don't blame me that you are unaware that Soro's and the Rothschilds bailed Donald out. Stop projecting your issues on to others.

    Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina sold out completely, too. Which caused a problem for Argentine Soy-mills, no product to mill. So they cut a deal with China. Bought US Soy for a pittance, shipped it to Argentine, milled it and than shipped the product to China, at a very solid profit.

    A cop in Germany starts out with 1600 Euro and eventually will reach 2500 in 3 years.
    During training they get around 1100 to 1200.
    He just finished his training. Doing all those trips on 1200, living in Mama's basement, might do it.

    There is a nother little twist, hog farmers and tariffs.
    It is very good for the EU, because they have a huge over production and The EU refrigerated warehouses are full, were full, sold to China.

    Maybe its time to stop thinking of them as American companies and instead treat them like the aliens they have become

    We have full employment.
    What jobs do you want to get rid of so you can bring back these low skilled Chinese jobs.

    What kind of jobs

    Libs regulary cry big wet tears about low wages

    But many of the jobs are never going to be high wage

    Bring back factories to America and there will be many more high wage jobs

    I hear there are 1000 jobs stuffing hair in Barbie dolls that could come back. How much do you think that job is worth?
    Don't forget you will need to pay welfare benefits to these people.
