Are you too lazy to Google, or just dishonest like Donny, Whell?
Not reading with comprehension here Chicklet? In you quote, he's speaking specifically about China. He's not talking about global trade.

You're hilarious - you post something that you fail to understand, and then call me dishonest. Priceless!

Give it up, dufus. When will Mexico pay for Donny’s wall?

We'll have to wait and see what happens in the next round of budget talks. The BAT failed to get support in the last session, so we'll have to see if it's reworked / revisited in the next session.

LOL. Now I'm a dufus because you didn't understand what you posted. This just gets better.

Bullshit. Everything to him is a zero sum game, whereby the world is comprised of those who praise Trump and losers, particularly for trade. Just because Trump doesn't say "trade is a zero-sum game" in those exact words doesn't mean that his policy isn't such, just as him not saying "I am a racist" doesn't mean he is not a racist. Even in Pompeo's Senate testimony, he said that what Trump says doesn't matter, only his policies matter and the links I provide above clearly demonstrate his beliefs/policy result from zero-sum game thinking.

You really should refrain from posting about economics - you know as little about it as your Dear Leader knows about basic human decency.

Seriously? Donny promised, on multiple occasions, on tape, that Mexico would pay for The Wall. You’re a Trumpkin. Do you still believe this lie?

So in your feeble mind, China isn’t a major trading partner with the US and the rest of the globe? Seriously?

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't stop you from applying it.

Bullshit again. Your profoundly lame argument boils down to "if Trump doesn't publicly admit to something, he didn't do it." My response was that just because he doesn't publicly admit to being a racist, a misogynist, a compulsive liar, an adulterer or a believer in zero-sum trade policy doesn't mean that he isn't any of them.
