Trump says United States is having tremendous success with China on trade (huh?)
Crazy Banana ^ | 1/12/2019 | Antoinette Montgomery

Posted on 01/12/2019 8:20:04 PM PST by cba123

American officials said during their discussions they relayed Trump's commitment to addressing trade deficit concerns and resolving structural issues affecting trade between the two countries.

(please see the full article, at the link)

I really don't see what Trump is talking about, but I do not have access to our trade delegation either.

Maybe he is seeing something different.

What I am seeing, is we just set the worst trade deficit in all recorded history, with China.

The worst ever.

Worst. Between any two countries. Ever.

It is not improving. It is getting worse.

I am all for Trump, but DO SOMETHING please.

Good job though.

:D

I just am posting this, because Trump sounded all positive about our trade situation with China, when he interviewed with Judge Jeanine.

I really do not see how anyone, can say that.

Even Trump.

Our trade deficit with China is the largest any country in the entire history of the WORLD, has ever had.

Ever.

The worse ever.

I am all for Trump. I have been for Trump (right here) since before he even announced as a candidate.

But seriously. China is taking huge advantage of America.

Every single administration for the last generation and a half, has been sold out.

Everyone.

Democrats. Republicans. Everyone.

Trump, stand up for America.

Someone needs to. Be the guy who does.

For real.

I am sure serious progress is being made:

A top Chinese official will ‘most likely’ visit the US this month for trade talks, Mnuchin says

China removed tariffs from 700 imports, barely 3 weeks ago. Give it time.

Who is this Antoinette Montgomery? And why is she such an expert on trade? I can’t find anything, I’m guessing graduated in the last 2 or 3 years?

I am American, and voted for Trump.

I have been a supporter of his since before he even announced as a candidate.

I am living here now. But I am American and an early Trump supporter.

President Trump needs to have the US government PREPARED to IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT BOTH HIGHER AND EXPANDED TARIFFS on Chinese products EFFECTIVE MARCH 1st.

No FURTHER delays, no more “warnings”, no months-long lead time to effectuate the changes. If this immediate action doesn’t happen, China will simply continue to drag things out and not make REAL changes that ACTUALLY IMPACT THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

Sometimes, you know, like,
when I’m just surfing the web and stuff,
you know, I come across stuff and I look at it,
and then there is a link to something else and,
well, you know, I link from there to somewhere else,
and then, I say to myself,
“Hey, I should post that on Free Republic!!!!”

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a magic wand. Everyone has bent over backward for China for 30 years and they’ve been waiting for Trump to cave or just ignore what needs to be done like everyone else has.

Obama said that Trump would need a magic wand to make the economy grow more. It did. So Obama must believe that Trump has one. :)

******************************************************
Sorry, but time is on China’s side; it’s what they’re relying upon. Unlike the US, China employs MANY other tools to suppress imports they want to suppress. For example they may have LOOONNNGGG DELAYS processing/approving shipped imports; have adverse “social credit scoring” for the involved Chinese importers, implied or actual threats and so forth.

The so called “legal professor” Obama doesn’t know squat about economics.

Fake complaint. Why didn’t you post what President Trump actually said instead of manufacturing a fake quote?

Trump means he feels good about how the current talks are going. He knows your stats, that’s why he’s working on this.

Buck up and stop clutching your pearls.

We are currently running the largest trade deficit in all recorded history, with China.

Trump said this was the big issue when he was elected.

I am not the only one “clutching my pearls”.

I think Trump’s entire voter base, is waiting for him to act. American companies have (badly) sold out to China.

Badly.

For the entire last generation.

Bring back jobs to America, Mr. President.

Don’t just make statements, don’t continue the same sell-outs which so many before you have done (in both parties)

Mr. President, this is why you were elected. China trade, and our southern wall.

Neiher one, is improving yet.

Neither one.
