It’s not that difficult to understand. The USA is gigantic in economy, land, and raw materials...

We have every ability to be self sufficient. Making ourselves, in essence, our own customers would make our country rich. A USA/ China trade war would be VERY good for USA and VERY bad for China. It’s time we level the playing field. Fair is fair.

You have the 'potential' to be seldlf sufficient but your economy is not set up that way or anything close.

Your trade deficit is massive, especially with China.

So let’s create some INDUSTRY!! 💪💪💪@Burnley123

@GardenSage You should, but your regime has no intention of doing that.

@Burnley123 going to politely disagree...

@GardenSage These largely aren't industry jobs but private and service sector jobs. You are benefiting from a global recovery and running a dangerous deficit at the same time.

@Burnley123 I’m aware... but we have the education and the money and plenty of private sector wealth to create it in a matter of months

@GardenSage That won't improve your trade deficit. You need to make stuff and Trump doesn't make shit, he just puts his name on it.

@Burnley123 lol I’m talking about creating industry. That’s how you make stuff. That’s how you build jobs.

@GardenSage And Trump is not doing that, nor has he any intention of doing that. You'd need a new New Deal for this to happen.

@Burnley123 forget TRUMP! Americans are willing to do- and able to do- what we have to do. Count on that.
