Buy American was in the 2009 porkulus with Biden on record defending and explaining its importance. His buy American stance goes back to the 80s

Trump has done more to level the international market with China than anyone dared wish for prior to 2016.

He has the credentials and determination to follow through on expanding domestic production for medical essentials.

Really now.

What is the President’s great leveling?

I will even allow Mr. Trump giving the green light for the mass imprisonment and suppression of Uighurs for soybean purchase promises.

What happened from 2008 to 2016 when China was able to capture a large enough market share to make the US vulnerable to shortage?

I know Hunter got 1.5 billion in business from the CCP…was that for market share?

It’s great that you believe that. It makes dealing with the crap he pulls so much easier for you. Deep down he’s a scammer who defrauded university students who trusted him. His own children are no longer allowed to run charities. Such low lives. So yes I will take Biden and plagiarism and his earning of his activities. Versus the rich man who scams the poor.

133

Focus?

What does that have to do with accusations of plagiarism that were just a silly attempt to rehash Biden’s issues with plagiarism. This of course quickly dissipated because of his record on buy American precedes the Presidents platform

This is where the subject starts to head in a different direction.

Trump has been tough on China trade through tariff and negotiation.

I want to give the Orange economic maestro four more years to get us to a phase 2 deal with the CCP.

Biden had ample opportunity and failed to hold market share and domestic production.

I don’t understand the logic that he will magically perform any differently this time.

So the President has been tough on China by taxing Americans and failing to get a trade deal with China.

So tough

Been answered.

Biden had 53 years…8 as VP and all he did was get a 1.5 billion deal for his son’s business interest while the US lost market share.

For Trump purportedly to be such a blowhard…he has a better record of actual accomplishment in 3 short years than Bidens’ 53.

Looks at the wreckage of the country in 2020 as compared to 2016 and says I want more of this.

Bonkers.

Those are all nice bumper stickers.

No it hasnt been answered. I pointed out buy American stance on behalf of the former vp you went into discussing some China market share.

No specificity as to which market, how much share., which product, shortness of what supplies. Just a mishmash of sentences?

143

The implication being Trump wrecked it?

144

Super catchy.

It’s like we are living on different planets. Remember when Reagan asked if you’re better off now than you were four years ago? Hmmm. I wonder how most Americans would answer.

You missed the Pawn Shop marker of economic woe…

“It would seem to me people would need money rather than have money. And I’d expect the loan balances to go up rather than go down,” said Cliff Zlotnik, owner of Sparklez Jewelry and Loan in Mt. Lebanon.

“It’s caught us off guard. We can’t explain it,” said Ed Gelman, owner of Gelman Loan in Larimer.

Pawn shops typically thrive in tough times by providing cash to people who either need to sell their belongings or to borrow money against items of value they own like jewelry, electronics and power tools.

The irony is that many pawn shops are having financial difficulties of their own right now because there aren’t nearly as many customers who need to raise money selling or pawning items — the opposite of what most would expect when a record number of people are unemployed.

It’s a baffling turn of events that affects not only pawn shops in the Pittsburgh region, but many across the country.
