  1. I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag.

    Save your country! Vote! Or, your children may not have the chance to do so… ever.

    1. @Steven Hanft The flag represents America and all our best beliefs, you are just a young punk with no loyalty to your country!

    2. @Flux Bullets Without a bedrock pf decency and believing the rule of law is above men, all you have is a bag of words.

  2. lol it’s human nature to not want to compete and deflect. China didn’t become an economical powerhouse by complaining about unfairness. There is absolutely no doubt they have some very shady business practices and the political regime is fairly unpredictable. But businesses and countries knew this already and still is willing to do business with China because they have created an attractive environment. Nobody put a gun to Apple or Nike’s head and say you must do business there, China simply created better incentives than the US, even if you think it’s not right or fair.

    1. At the pathetic JOE BIDEN town hall, he was asked about China. Joe Biden called CHINA a “Competitor.” Joe Biden can’t even say that China is an opponent of the United States, how can he possibly win in any fight against them? JOE BIDEN is not what America needs and it’s not what the world needs. Biden made it clear that JOE BIDEN is the last man Americans should want dealing with the emerging super power that is China. America needs leadership in the White House, like Trump, that sees the Chinese threat for what it is, and that understands we can never go back to the old ways of Chinese appeasement in exchange for a few dollars off on flat screen TVs!

    2. @Pam Deshane Have you lost leave of your senses? Donald Trump owes China money, plus he and his daughter Ivanka have their clothes, MAGA hats. ties shoes and other items made where? In China. Donald Trump has names leases in China. China has given, Ivanka 15 trade marks, after Donald Trump went into office. Donald Trump is not going to do much of anything to China. Nothing!

    3. @Norma Ragland BIDEN LOVES CHINA, he will send American jobs back to CHINA just like he did in the OBIDEN years! America knows it! TRUMP 2020!!

  3. “The most significant shift Donald made on Foreign Policy” is to Sell America Out to RUSSIA!! Forgetting that one?? BOUNTIES!! Bounties on ALL Americans!! Remember that Trump “Inc.” OWES China MILLIONS of Dollars! He is just welching out on more loans, his ONLY Business Tactic! Welching!!

    1. See? #YouTube??#Google?? How can you, now, allow Foreign Influences to use Prostitution to poison the well? And to click their #YouTube channel to block them is another issue! I prefer a BLOCK option be returned to the drop down menu in their reply.
      REPORT AND BLOCK!!

    1. hmmmm, is that why china is helping to fund biden’s election, now that the mexican drug cartel has shut off the funding to the DNC ?

  4. Mr. “Tough on China” has increased our trade deficit with China to it’s highest levels in over a decade.

  5. Why would China give up their company? I’m sure they haven’t. It’s like any other country demanding the same from Facebook and Twitter! Who’s America to say we’re buying your company when there’s no way they’d do the same? Facebook and Twitter I’m sure is gathering information for the government also through data. That’s what you risk when you use the internet! Don’t want to risk your data being used, don’t use the internet!

  6. “His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”

    1. Sound an awful lot like Fascism …. Maybe thats why they fear antifascists so much…Trump and the GOP hate America. They only care for power. Greed is their only loyalty..

  7. Hi constant laughter makes me think he’s not a truth-teller. He uses some truths to gain the confidence of his audience but when he talks about the U.S. he’s a liar and propagandist. He wants us to see our relationships with other countries and their motives clearly but see our own country decidedly unclearly.

  8. CHINESE PHILOSOPHY MUST BE RESPECTED.
    know them, or stay away, as they are war/biz, consider tsun tsu egos.
    “coopetition” has been our clinton era past, but, is it unrealistic?

    1. yeah saying what trump said 6 years ago while Obama was president. i want forward thinking leaders not liars that jump on to whats popular in the moment

  9. So now these clowns are finally going to recognize an actual threat from China? Maybe they’ll abandon their mass hallucination (and excuse) about Russia.
