Just pointing out that China is in fact investing in plants and jobs in the US.

But I will put you down and not caring if anyone invest in the US. I guess the Chinese can simply continue to buy T-bills with all those dollar reserves they have instead of investing in companies in the USA that employ people.
Well that would be dishonest of you then.

I never said I don't care about anyone investing in the US. I just don't care about China and their measly 1-1.5% of our total FDI doing it.

And that's not even really accurate. I'll gladly accept their FDI if they want to even out the trade imbalance in the process.

So no, you don't get to put words in my mouth like that. That's not how this works and you know it.

What is so wrong with that tweet? Sounds like he's stating facts and letting the observer come to the obvious conclusion. The 1st Amendment even applies to the POTUS.


But none of that is fact

I don't recall a single instance of that happening.

You might have said something but I probably considered it so stupid no one would take is seriously. My apologies. I will try to point out the flaws in your retorts for the world to see from now on.

Stick to posting other people's tweets.



I think you are going to find telling others what or how to post a fruitless endeavor. Besides, you're obviously a bit of a moron so maybe you are the one who should stop posting

Sometimes I copy what I'm going to quote for use later. Just happened to click reply on your post.

It's pretty damn cheap...

$27 compared to, what $250 per day in the US?

Just keep stretching like you always do...

If Trump could get it so that it's equally as economical for US companies to manufacture and produce products in the US and then export them to foreign countries as it is to manufacture and produce in those foreign countries, would you still argue against this?

Do you not understand that this is his ultimate goal? And that this tweet is simply part of that equation?

I'm not saying he will be 100% successful, because the opposition to this is monumental because many multi-national corporatist "Elites" and rich investors are exploiting the processes that cause our trade deficits, and they are doing everything in their power, along with the countries and their corrupt establishments, to obstruct and prevent Trump from succeeding.

But this really is his ultimate goal. He is striving and fighting for precisely things like this. But for some reason, you seem to believe China should be a concern and deserves the better outcome and advantage over us. The US improving at China's expense clearly burns you up and makes you seething mad. Why?

I did not say labor was not cheaper in China as you should be able to understand from my post.

"Labor" is not a huge factor in things like chemical intermediates. A tiny amount of labor can produce a huge amount of product. If the labor was free or $100 an hour it would be so little per unit of production no one would have a labor cost advantage so great as to matter in the cost. There are many products like that.

No it is not his ultimate goal. Have you read the 301 investigation? If you have not you are not education on the subject and are only dreaming about what the goals are.
