    I am not blaming only Trump but Trump ran his mouth the loudest, promised the mostest, and did the leastest. The tariff war caused the American consumers to pay for it as a tax and we the American taxpayers paid our farmers for the agricultural exports they lost but Brazil, Argentina , Canada sold to China.

    The illegal immigrant rate actually was going down under Obama and Obama had deported more than Trump.

    We got talk and bragging and BS from Trump.
    His renaming NAFTA was all smoke and mirrors I have not seen anything tangible fir the American worker out of the renaming.

    After four years of promises China is still the economic aggressor and is making inroads in Africa because it is looking like Japan did 25 years before Pear Harbor.

    ~ This is the only silver lining of the Wuhan virus catastrophe .

    ~ This has already happened. Trump is the only president that stood up to China.
    Beijing Biden will likely be another Jimmy Carter .

    America has become a Nation of Stupid People and Stupid Politicians willing to Sell their Soul to China for Profits. America is dying a slow Death of a Thousand cuts. Too much Anti American Hate, Too little Patriotism, Too many Americans looking for Freebies instead of working for them, Too many Drug addicts and Criminals that are being given a Free pass to commit Crime, too much extremism in Politics, Too much I'm a Victim and White people are Racist and too much Greed of People on the top. Seems too many of us don't give a **** about America anymore and its become too easy to go to Wallmart and buy Cheap Chinese crap instead of looking for Made in American. I'm glad I've done well enough for myself, while most responsible Americans could and I can retire and put this BS behind me. Gonna buy a ranch in Montana, sit on my Porch, Drink a few Beers every evening under the Stars and ignore these Liberal Shitholes as much as I can. If World War 2 happened today, the Youth of America would squat and hide under their Mama's skirt if they had to go out and protect America. It's probably going to be mandatory American students learn Chinese in School, because China is going to eat our lunch if things keep heading in the direction were going.

    But Biden is the President elect so we are saved.

    Isn't that correct?

    And we know Biden will put a stop to the exporting of jobs and importing of cheap labor.

    All is well.

    This is harsh and pessimistic, but there is a lot of truth to it too.

    You respond with an ad hominem fallacy. You can't be taken seriously with that approach.

    Not really true at all but I wouldn't expect a Trump hater to see anything different. But if you want to believe that having unfair trade practices actually benefits us then have at it lol.

    It's obviously been working great up to this point as you've clearly pointed out.

    It is harsh and pessimistic, but only opinion. If one wishes to be away from everyone, so be it, but being confined to one away doesn't like freedom, seems like more like prison to me. I want to see all of the USA, city and nature.

    The Germans are being bound tighter today to Russia, which itself is bound ever-tighter to China. Right now the future looks very good for all three of those countries, especially now that Germany is the only real powerhouse of the EU.

    I agree but not on China, China is just very good at controlling the narrative, their local governments and banks are defaulting on their debt.
    China is also directly involved in a tradewar with the US and that can only end badly for them

    But but, they want to give every man, woman, and child in the country, $2000. For nothing. Just becuase trump said so. After he increased our costs from China, tariffs, took markets away from our farmers, and also handed them free money due to them losing their markets to sell in.

    Republicans killed our jobs. Now they want to give us free money. Which party is the real socialist marxist? Pretty obvious. The party that screams it the loudest, is doing so as a diversion. The republicans are the real marxist sociaist party.

    And they are working to gut our education in the country. Meanwhile, China invests heavily into education.

    Ah the comfort of knowing I've built a decent enough life as to be able to retire and move to a place where I can life the rest of my days in silence and modest comfort while the country burns at a distance. For by the time the migration of American refugees fleeing the great collapse infests the vacant depths of the Midwest I'll be dead and gone from this Earth.

    Maybe we can get the republican party and conservative judges and courts give corporations and big money even more power than the Citizen United ruling they got put into law.
    If one is worried about corrupt corporate leaders and corrupt bribed gov't.
    But when us stupid liberals complained about how all that money was going to further erode normal American voices because now big money was going to buy more of gov't, we were called out as being against free speech.

    For over 20 yrs, I heard how China is stealing USA corps intellectual property, IP.
    But they never did nothing about it, because sending their designs to China to be built was still hugely profitable for them. Even if China would take those designs and create their own products from them.

    Then there were many many small companies without much of an Engineering dept send their ideas to a Chinese company to develop their idea into a product. Which they did, but the Chinese company completely owned the design. These companies agreed to this contract.
    Then when it became to expensive to do business in China or the sales were not enough, the prices skyrocketed and those companies would come to companies like those I work for the redesign the product and build it here back in the states. And they had no documentation because they didn't own the design.

    trump never did anything to deal with China.
    He imposed tariffs, the failed policy that many had tried before.

    And it failed. Near 4 yrs of tariffs and we still have a bigger trade deficit than before. It failed. As past tariffs tries had already proven.

    No it didn't, that's just what your media masters tell you and you obediently follow without questioning.

    China shut down their entire country last Jan-March.
    I work for an electronics company and we purchase parts out of China. We needed to go elsewhere for 2 months.

    I don't have media masters. So your opinion is pretty worthless.
    I have eyes, ears, and can see the tariffs failed.
    Go look at trade deficit with them. Go look at farmers who lost markets and trump resorted to socialism to help them with the lost markets.
    Go look at all the time we tried tariffs in the past, most of them if not all, failed.

    Those are simply facts that anyone who can use a search engine can find out.

    Nope, the tariffs were working just fine but they take time.

    The imbalance didn't happen over night and neither will the fix.

    But in the liberal brain anything that doesn't produce instant gratification is considered a failure.

    These are perennial headlines by the clickbait whores, for example,
    https://www.emarketer.com/content/c...-overtake-us-market-2020-after-all-here-s-why

    Yeah well, predictions are difficult, especially about the future.

    US retail sales will, incredibly, grow by 0.8% this year, reaching $5.506 trillion in total spending.

    Lying Outlaw China’s retail market will decline by 2.9% in 2020 to $5.130 trillion in 2020. The US will widen its lead on China this year, it didn't lose it.

    The Lying Outlaw Slavers of China are a dictatorship of rapacious whores that fail at essential governance and plug the holes through short-sighted stop-gap unsustainable policies.

    Like all Socialist countries they starve a lot, failing to feed their people, which is a fundamental failure of an essential function. They attacked this by killing their own by the 10's of millions followed by a one child policy, with a preference for boys, that has left their demographics completely screwed up. They are a society that is rapidly aging with a gender imbalance that further messes with family formation. A society with a median age in their 60's simply does not have the vigor to do great things, to accomplish major milestones that a younger, better balanced society, with more sustainable policies does.

    They short cut their way to everything, where we manage our environment to ensure long time sustainability, they fill their air, soil, ground water, rivers, lakes and surrounding oceans with unimaginable amounts of pollution, agricultural and industrial waste, solvents, chemicals, poisons, toxins, they just dump and pump crap everywhere. Their groundwater is polluted, their air is polluted, their lakes are polluted, don't swim in their rivers, their seafood is polluted, if you see "Pacific Fish" make sure it's West Pacific and not East Pacific!

    Where we closely regulate fishing in our territorial waters and our exclusive economic zones to ensure long time sustainable ocean food production, they overfish their waters until exhausted, they destroy the fish stocks through overfishing and dragnets and then go steal their neighbor's fish. They even use of cyanide both in international water to kill the fish and then scoop up their dead bodies. They send vast government funded fishing fleets to rob their neighbor's territorial water of the seafood that their neighbors depend on.

    They have no peer alliances because they view every other people as existing for them to exploit, so they rob, steal and plunder everyone that they do business with, so they have no friends.

    Standard Chartered last year predicted that the US in 2020 would lose its crown, saying it's unlikely to ever become the most powerful economy again once it slips behind. They were wrong, these prediction will continue to be wrong.
