Trump - I Don't Blame China

Trump campaign speech (May 2016) -

"We can't continue to allow China to rape our country and that's what they're doing. It's the greatest theft in the history of the world."

Trump speech yesterday in Beijing-

"I don’t blame China. After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens? I give China great credit."

Perhaps Xi Jinping promised to let him build a Trump Tower.

Everything Donald Dumbass has been doing is to make sure that China becomes the world's number one power and we lead from behind. Of course the hypocrisy guarantees it is DT's. (pun intended ) They are saying that Chinese immigrants will be the majority in California at the nd of this century just as Latinos have been for a few years now.

Here Trump is basically correct. Both Dem and Rep admins have allowed China to game the US...rip off intellectual property, play with US companies operating in China in order to establish a local competitor, dumping etc.

It is obvious that the Chinese are determine to become # 1 with regards to soft power.

Trump cannot be blamed for the US weakening position. The West gave them the opportunity and they went full throttle.

Now in progress--One Belt One Road.

Jennifer Rubin: Trump is Xi’s lapdog

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...is-xis-lapdog/

“It’s one thing not to be a jerk on a state visit but it’s a totally different thing to fawn over a despot whose ambitions, the China Dream, are in direct conflict with the interests of the United States.” He adds, “Trump’s instinct to ignore the difference between friends and competitors, allies and adversaries, democrats and thugs doesn’t make America great, but increasingly small.”

Maybe it would have been better if Trump had bowed?

So, you're blaming Pres. Obama for the trade deficit with China while absolving President Dumpsterfire of being a flaming hypocrite in the space of a little over a year? You do realize that Don the Con and his daughter Ivanka have their clothing lines/accessories made by slave labor in communist "Gina" (as the Dotard in Chief pronounces China), right dumbass?
