Of course Trump is right. This is the best course of action after China has taken advantage of us for decades with absolute impunity.
Having said that, Trump is making a huge mistake here.
As we have seen the corrupt MSM and Democrats (same) are amplifying the fear of all this. The markets are reacting. These same corrupt entities are actually telegraphing to China what their next move should be to cause the most pain, and therefore the most damage to America. That is what the left does.
Trump has been in office over a year now. He has never had a fireside chat with Americans. Why not. Now is the time for Trump to get in Prime Time and lay out for the American people what he is doing and why it is vital to the country. Right now Trump has ceded the narrative to those in this country who despise Trump and are more than willing to allow our country get seriously damaged.
This may escalate into a trade “war”. As a result, it is incumbent upon the President to prepare the country and outline his vision. Prepare the country for short-term pain and show the benefits to long-term success.
He is the Commander-in-Chief and he needs to get before the American people and lead.
“Now is the time for Trump to get in Prime Time and lay out for the American people what he is doing and why it is vital to the country.”
Agreed.
“He has never had a fireside chat with Americans. Why not. Now is the time for Trump to get in Prime Time and lay out for the American people what he is doing and why it is vital to the country. Right now Trump has ceded the narrative to those in this country who despise Trump and are more than willing to allow our country get seriously damaged.”
Very well put!
