    these are not insurmountable problems.

    and fuck trying to make goods as cheap as china. we should tariff all chinese electronics so they're the same price as making the good with nonslaves.

    depropagandize your mind.

    I dont care what globalist china cocksuckking traitors to freedom sanction.

    on edit:

    sanction has two meanings

    Sanction can also be a noun meaning "authoritative approval" or "a coercive measure." The noun entered English first, in the 15th century, and originally referred to a formal decree, especially an ecclesiastical decree. (The Latin sancire, meaning "to make holy," is an ancestor.)

    odd

    Trump? Wouldn't trust him in a trade for a snickers bar.

    Myriad of problems? Like what?

    11 other countries had no issues with it, Dotard did.

    "Instead Trump negotiated bi-lateral agreements with South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam"?

    The US has ALWAYS had trade with Japan (1980's), Vietnam (2000) and S, Korea (2007), Dotard didn't like someone else's name on them so he "negotiated" new ones.

    What about the 8 other countries?

    That could have replaced a good portion and reduced our trade deficit with China.
    stop fighting yourself. you're an anti globalist, like trump.

    Nothing like Trump, thank god.

    You think Dotard is an anti globalist?

    Dotard owns properties in Canada, Panama, Israel, Dubai, Mexico, South Korea, Uruguay, India, Turkey, and the Philippines. He also has interest and a stakeholder in numerous properties in different countries.

    You think he doesn't/didn't put forth policies and influence to protect his interest.

    Wasn't progressives sucking up to communist.

    Dotard ego rally, Des Moines Iowa

    October 15 2020

    At the rally, Trump said of the world leaders: ‘One thing I’ve learnt, President Xi of China’s 100%. Putin of Russia, 100%. Kim Jong-un – by the way what happened to that war we were supposed to be in? – Kim Jong-un of North Korea, 100%.’
    "These people are sharp and they are smart".

    I dont see that. However I do see creeping socialism that could surely end up there.

    Socialism destroys initiative, and is incompatible with our broken borders

    You were praising China 15 months ago, and saying that Trump was ushering in a new era of US-China relations.

    My, how you have reversed yourself since March 2020!
