I thought Trump was for all the people even those that didn't vote for him?
that's what he said
his trade wars are going to crush his biggest supporters in the future
Oh ok, I'll tell him you said that. I'm sure he'll reconsider.
/e Now where was I... Oh yeah...

Dude we don't really NEED other countries like they need us.
Sure China is big manufacturing, but it's all stuff we invented, except for Ramen noodles.
Sure the middle east is oil, but we have our own, that hasn't even been touched.
We definitely have the agriculture.
I think this is a lot of what Trump's unhappiness with the current trade deals is all about.
It's like his major complaint with the United Nations. There are 193 country members, yet we pay 22% of the UN upkeep.
I'm not suggesting we abandon everyone else, but these trade deals that were acceptable, need to be rethought.
