Look at this. This is a tweet from Roll Call<\/a>. “Experts” — what experts? The media has all kinds of experts. Let me take a brief diversion to illustrate what I mean. How many of you remember way back when Donald Trump began his trade negotiations with the ChiComs. And how many of you remember the conventional wisdom being that Trump didn\u2019t know what he was doing and that we don\u2019t want to rattle the cage of the ChiComs?<\/p>\n

\"\"The ChiComs own so much of our debt, the ChiComs have all kinds of leverage on us. Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. He cannot negotiate a better trade deal with the ChiComs. It\u2019d be a terrible thing to even try. Remember all that?<\/p>\n

“U.S. Trade Deficit Hits Eight-Month Low as Chinese Imports Drop<\/a>\u00a0— The U.S. trade deficit fell to an eight-month low in February as imports from China plunged, suggesting President Donald Trump\u2019s ‘America First\u2019 agenda was starting to bear fruit.”<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t Reuters! So all of the experts who predicted that Trump, we don\u2019t want to offend the ChiComs, we don\u2019t want to make the ChiComs mad, we do not want to insult them… We cannot provoke them. President Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. Nobody thought it was gonna work. Nobody thought Trump\u2019s sanctions on the ChiComs and all the tariffs — remember the tariffs hit? Oh, my God. Remember the vapors everybody had? Well, now Trump\u2019s “America first” agenda is starting to bear fruit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe surprise narrowing in the trade gap reported by the Commerce Department on Wednesday also implied a much stronger pace of U.S. economic growth in the first quarter than initially anticipated at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThe 20.2 percent drop –\u201d this is not insignificant \u201c– in imports from China was the main driver behind a nearly 3.4 percent improvement in the U.S. trade deficit.\u201d When\u2019s the last time you heard the trade deficit getting smaller? Did the trade deficit get smaller under the administration and regime of Barack Hussein O? No, it did not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
