Points out what a mistake we made in helping China get into the WTO. They have all the benefits and ignore the obligations.

Its China's attacks on American industry that fueled DJT's rise (coupled with the Republicans and Democrats ignoring it).

On a much smaller basis, watching China's manufacturing base grow at the expense of ours, is one reason I'm such a strong supporter of Trump. I believe he recognizes the strategic importance (not necessarily from a political perspective) of this country having a strong manufacturing base. That it also translates into a winning political issue for him, is just icing on the cake.

They destroyed our domestic steel industry and both parties just stood by and watched. I guess the developers like DJT were giving them more money than the owners of steel companies.
