It’s time for China to pay the U.S. back for the help its received over the last 40 years, billionaire and longtime GOP supporter Ken Langone told CNBC on Wednesday.

Langone is absolutely right. I personally hope we get rid of China as a trading partner and treat them for trade purposes like the old USSR. Let them sink economically. They are on the level of the old USSR as an enemy to our nation.

Oh I get that Trump has been finally doing something.

But WHY in the world, have so far so darned many been selling out, so completely?

This shows some completely idiotic, leadership.

Really bad.

Langone is right about China. He needs to educate his buddy Little Michael Bloomberg about China and its government.

Have you been in a Home Depot lately?

Virtually everything except the lumber and sheathing plywood, osb and drywall comes from China.

The only reason bulk commodities do not come from China is because there is too much freight to be cheap.
