Does that mean you accept China as being our Overlords?

Meanwhile, the markets are crashing, and several organizations -- including the National Farmers Union -- are mighty unhappy with Twittler.

Orwell's vision of a three-power future was brilliant. It looks to me like it's unavoidable - so let it come to pass. It certainly won't be possible for the USA to rule the world- no matter what our arms dealers try to sell us.
By the same token it can't be ruled by China or Russia either- not that either of them , unlike the US, believes in such a possibility.

Fight Fire with Fire.

Organize another NASA-like Joint Government/Corporate Enterprise to ensure the supremacy of the Western Democracies in the Technological Race.

Only if you are living in China. From here it is getting better. Are you cheering for the Communists?

The same way he accommodates ISIS; by shoving his head up their arses.

Once again you erupt with nothing but pure unadulterated bullshit. The market isn't crashing any more than you could make sense. Only in leftist moron land is a drop of 2% a crash.

We are comforted by the fact that you are a low IQ idiot who is never right about anything.

President Trump has a lot of power to make things happen in this country.

But being president does have its limits. The job is president, not dictator, after all.

And again on Friday morning, Trump showed he doesn't totally grasp that crucial difference — as he took to Twitter to protest $75 billion in new tariffs imposed by China.

In a series of tweets, Trump said, "Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing our companies HOME and making your products in the USA."

Yes, I'll tell you how to compete with China- Build better shit and sell it cheaper- instead of over-pricing your shit and allowing stockholders, CEO's, and the carpet golfers in glass towers to suck up all the profits while sticking it to the consumers!

IT's CALLED COMPETITION!

The US can't compete with Third World Labor.

"Chinese factory workers are now getting paid more than ever: Average hourly wages hit $3.60 last year, spiking 64 percent from 2011, according to market research firm Euromonitor. That's more than five times hourly manufacturing wages in India, and is more on par with countries such as Portugal and South Africa."

Adolf. Can you support YOUR Family on $3.60 an hour?

In China or India? Yes!

In China and India, wages are more commensurate with their actual cost of living.

It is only America whose wages can't keep up with the over-the-top runaway housing and cost of living inflations!

Only in America do we have such a class warfare!
