China has a huge nut, a huge amount of people they have to feed. Hurting them economically, just like they hurt US economically, is going to have devastating consequences for the CCP.

If countries start onshoring manufacturing and jobs again, and even move their manufacturing from China to other low cost countries, that will hit China like a ton of bricks.

Booting out Chinese spies is important, too. They closed the Chinese consulate in Houston, because it was a hub for Chinese industrial spies. We've got a lot of trade secrets in our area.....fracking, chemical manufacturing, etc. They are in our universities, in the research departments, reporting back to China on the newest and best stuff we are inventing.

Trump is the only one who not only sounded the alarm, but is actively doing something about it, and it's hurting China.
I'm pretty sure that China can engineer, produce, and has the raw materials to totally isolate if they so choose.
Grabbing the money from the rest of the world is their objective.
Or is it?

China, as big as it is, is definitely a problem.
I agree, but the CCP is in a world of hurt right now. The virus continues to hit them hard, the entire country is underwater, and the entire rest of the planet is starting to call them out on their bullshit. With any luck the CCP will unravel from within and a Taiwan-like government will emerge.

Or is it?
One of China's big problems is their educational system does not emphasize creativity - that's why they have to keep stealing IP from other countries. As the rest of the world wises up and stops letting them do that, where is their engineering going to come from?

Not one.

This country will dive into chaos and you will be sitting back smiling as it burns.

All over an unfounded hatred for one man that really never did anything that wrong.

You are a sad person that hates this country for some reason.
But, but, but, he said "*****"!!!

Because of incompetent government leadership at all levels.

You can start by looking for leaders who say one thing one day and then say the opposite the next day. There are too many of those to even list.

And don't even get me started on the incompetent ****s who allow a mob of thugs to take over entire sections of their cities.

Trump's hires are abysmal. His former associates are crooks or the equivalent. If you take the man by whom he hangs out with, he is someone you'd never vote for.
I've always said, I never vote for the man, but his cabinet. The ones that do the work. Apparently he only thinks swamp rats are the best to put in those positions. Only Ross, DeVos, and Carson (outsiders) have the staying power to get things done. All his swamp rat hires have turned on him, but he replaces them with YOU GUESSED IT-ANOTHER SWAMP RAT. Fukkin ridiculous.

I'll vote for him again, but only because the dems are 100% looney caricatures.

I had hopes but damn.

The President is a raving lunatic.
That said, the following remark under the video has truth.

"The fact that Trump still has supporters makes me believe we have a bigger mental illness problem in this country than we thought."

The left offers a guy with dementia. Just like Obama/Romney, this is the best America has to offer ? You can scream at the sky, but you are crazy if you think the left has any idea how to run this country.
