My advice for President Trump...don't take Obama bait

Ok…

Do you?

Yes.

There was absolutely nothing President Trump was doing policywise that was any different than supply side economists before him were doing.

Well except for protectionism which of course hurts, not helps, an advanced economy…both short term and long term.

What indicators do you have that is the case at all?

What is the average Chinese citizen buying from “us”?

you believe you know, you don’t know.

Ok…

What, you don’t believe millions of Chinese are living better than they did 50 years ago?

Agricultural products, cars and trips to visit here to name just three. Not enough, but it’s the right long-term solution.

End results is dangerous goverment that is hundreds of time more powerful…and direct threat to democratic goverment worldwide. We created that beast.

Sure. We haven’t done a stellar job managing that beast.
Their government sucks, but they’re not North Korea.

China is more open? All we did was strengthen their police state…was that our desired goal? Better standards of living? Most of them are slaves to Chinese goverment. You do understand they’re robbing their wealth so China can compete against United state on world stage military and economically.

As for someone not being China policy expert sure criticizing Trump policy without any serious thoughts on that matters.

Odd…our economy was doing pretty good. I remember your predictions that Trump was going to crash our economy in his trade war with China.

Of course China is more open.
Do you want to cut off all trade to China? No more farm products? No more Boeing planes?
Same thing with Vietnam?

if they had never been “opened” their people would have rebelled long ago. it is the better living standard that allows them to stay in power

His trade wars necessitated billions in tax payer funded bailouts.

and over time trillions in trade

Well it didn’t happen that way so we’ll never know.
Hasn’t worked out that way for North Korea though.

nk doesn’t have a billion people.

Just thousand times more dangerous then NK. Was that what you wanted?

Really? Are you dependent on China?
