<\/p>\nRUSH:\u00a0 So I got an email from somebody.\u00a0 “Rush, why do you think Trump has not condemned the ChiComs over Hong Kong?\u00a0 Is Trump afraid to get involved in it because he\u2019s chickening out on the tariffs, Rush?”\u00a0 No.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad I was asked this question.\u00a0 Let me explain something in the context and the concept of the real world.\u00a0 You know why Trump is silent on the thuggery of the ChiComs regarding Hong Kong?\u00a0 Because he\u2019s an adult, and you know what that means?\u00a0 He knows that virtue signaling will have zero impact because these are thug dictators.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t sit there and act like a woke leftist and have it have any impact on them other than to make them think you are crazy.\u00a0 So for Trump to come out and try to say the right things to signal that he\u2019s got the right virtue and show solidarity with the protesters in Hong Kong, is not going to have one iota\u2019s worth of impact on the thugs that run China.\u00a0 His objective is to cut a trade deal with the ChiComs.\u00a0 Trump\u2019s concern right now is with the one-to-two million voters in Midwestern states in farming, farm assembly and manufacturing who claim that they\u2019re being hurt by this.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All of the virtue signaling in the world is not going to change the ChiCom\u2019s thuggery towards Hong Kong.\u00a0 “But, Rush! But, Rush! It could inspire the protesters in Hong Kong to know that the president was with them.”\u00a0 They know he\u2019s with them.\u00a0 They\u2019re waving the American flag.\u00a0 These people are greater patriots than people protesting at NFL games.\u00a0 They\u2019re singing the National Anthem in English.\u00a0 They\u2019re waving the American flag.\u00a0 They know Trump is with them.\u00a0 They know who the ChiComs are just like…<\/p>\n
Trump doesn\u2019t need to do this.\u00a0 See, this phony virtue signaling does nothing but make some people feel good, but in terms of what it accomplishes, is zilch, zero, nada.\u00a0 Speaking of this farm pain and so forth, I\u2019ve got a poll here.\u00a0 This is from… Who ran this poll?\u00a0 Iowa State University.\u00a0 “Farmers Support Tariffs on China.”\u00a0 If you\u2019ve been watching the Drive-By Media all week, you would think that farmers are abandoning Trump in droves, and you would think that the farmers are starving. “There\u2019s a drought!<\/p>\n
“There\u2019s climate change, there\u2019s global warming, there isn\u2019t any rain. The wildlife and wild stock is dying and the crops are dying and the soil is turning arid and the farmers are starving and the farmers hate Trump and the farmers have ‘Trumpgret\u2019 and it\u2019s all horrible!” None of that is true.\u00a0 “Iowa State University has found that farmers in Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois who support Trump\u2019s tariffs against China. According to the study, nearly 60% of respondents in these states,” Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, “expressed support for the ongoing trade war.<\/p>\n
“Fourteen percent were neutral on it.\u00a0 The heightened trade tensions between Washington and Beijing has resulted in a near $10 billion decrease in U.S. agricultural exports to [the ChiComs].\u00a0 But domestic farm exports have continued to rise, nevertheless.”\u00a0 The ChiComs are not the only market out there.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve bought this news that the American farmers have turned on Trump, that their farms are dying, don\u2019t believe it! Folks, all of this is fake news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
