    video, Trump vowed to impose "a system that rewards domestic production and taxes foreign companies and those who export American jobs" and to transition the nation away from "a Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers."

    The former president proposed "universal base-line tariffs on most foreign products" and to hike tariffs at a rate proportional to a nation's devaluing of its currency. Trump has long pointed to alleged Chinese currency manipulation as a factor helping Beijing build a competitive edge in trade.

    Trump went on to vow a "new strategic national manufacturing initiative" to bolster American domestic production. He then proposed reforms to remove any and all American economic dependence on China and a four-year plan to phase out Chinese imports of essential goods. That plan would include a wide-ranging array of goods, including electronics and pharmaceuticals.

    "We will eliminate federal contracts for any company that outsources to China,"…

    Trump is exactly right. I’m glad that he is taking this position on the issue. China is our biggest enemy and is a clear and present danger to the United States.

    We need to cut taxes. We need more working and middle class jobs. We need to put America first!

    Personally, I think Trump's "ideas" are crazy...
    Such as THIS:
    four-year plan to phase out Chinese imports of essential goods. That plan would include a wide-ranging array of goods, including electronics and pharmaceuticals.
    ^Good luck with that...

    Also, speaking of "campaign video"...

    Hey Trump Dudes ... China supplies 59% of the world's lead - the US has less than 9%. So all the gun freaks will have an
    even harder time getting ammo. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

    Gods, you guys crack me up.

    ~ At present America's biggest enemy is its' own bloated, tyrannical and unaccountable federal government. We are being destroyed from within.
    The USA and the West allowed China's growth — and the USA alone can quickly neutralize this situation.

    Exactly. We need to get our own house in order and then the rest will sort out ok.

    Get a freaking grip already. It’s a news report written by a reporter about news worthy current events comments by our former and future President.

    We are being destroyed from within by the biggest bunch of seditious fools to come along since 1861.

    A quick check of the track record of Mr. Donald Trump's promises: how much money has the US Treasury received from Mexico in payment for the wall at the border to date?

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n don't take any wooden nickels.

    No wonder the NRA gets nervous about us and guns:p

    But back to the topic - more importantly than lead are what are referred to as “rare earths”. China has an almost global monopoly

    Some good ideas, but none of that will attract many working class DP voters, and at this point the RP and Trump will probably need to attract a majority of them to actually win in 2024.

    DP Politics 101:

    1.Take money and resources from the Republican core base and the potential RP base (everyone who works in the private sector).
    2. Give the money and resources taken from the potential RP core base and transfer it to the DP core base (everyone who works for government or is somehow dependent on government programs).

    Hint: the RP should try that strategy and stop screwing its own political base.

    Of course. He apparently fell asleep in his econ classes. His anti-trade, anti-capitalist tirades will do us no good, but they play well with his base.

    Hopefully our 9% of lead will be well placed.
