Liberal Lefties don't understand this nor to they care to understand, their hatred for Trump is more important to them than the strength of America in respect to economics and trade.

Chinese labor is really cheap. They also aren't protected against workplace hazards, which is why most production involving mercury and other dangerous chemicals is sent there.

Then the air that China pollutes migrates its way to CA who taxes the residents more in order to clean it up.
That doesn't work so CA corruptees in congress demand that the feds are to spend billions doing what CA could not do.
The mega billions that is spent on 'G***n E****y' still doesn't stop China's air from migrating to CA.
So Trump says 'We will have to sanction China until they clean up the air that comes to CA'.

The libs all cry 'We Can not do that, they will charge us more for the s**t they send us' !!

Trump says nothing about clean air - and does nothing for it in either country. His issue with them is the cheap items that American v**ers could make.

Same ol same ol.
But what about Obama/ Clinton/ Kennedy/ Lincoln/ Hoover/ Jackson? Huh?
The reason we have Chinese products is because our businesses are waay too top heavy. Too much overhead. It's cheaper for these same whiny companies to import something than make it. *I* don't look to make sure I'm getting foreign goods, *I'm* stuck with what "they" have to sell.
You wanna cry like a beeyatch? Blame Reagan, Nixon and the Bushes for all these trade agreements.
Did we forget that Congress stopped Bush from selling port and dock operations and security over to a Chinese firm? He was very close- and promised them a "fully vetted" procurement process.
This is just a miserable excuse to attach yet another sales tax to the Americans. It]s 25%- it comes out to almost $200 for every man, woman and child in America. *WE* pay this- not the Chinese.
All we're doing is subsidizing Trumplestiltskin's overspending and bad business management.

We have forced to rely on foreign goods because of the anti-American trade agreements.
We lost thousands of high paying tech jobs to India because of anti-American trade agreements.
Many thousands of manufacturing companies went out of business because of anti-American trade agreements and unreasonable regulations.

And in spite of these events, you people continue to buck everything that is being done to reverse the flow of cash going to other countries that don't even like us.

If that is what you want to continue doing, you might as well save everybody grief and move to another country where you will feel more at home. Iran or Cuba comes to mind when comparing your wish list to what they have to offer.

Economics and trade agreements aren't your strong suit.

Can I ask you a question? What the h**l is wrong with you? Did you even read, and/or try to understand what I said? Or were the words too big? Did I type too fast? Or are you just a loyalist Red team member? You have your armband on, the gold star on it? Us Americans need to get on the train?
Us American citizens didn't make those trade agreements- Republicans did. Us American citizens didn't reward companies for firing us and hiring people in other countries. Us American citizens aren't protesting at the White House, clamoring for c****e made consumer goods. Us American citizens didn't insist that we offer multi millionaire tax breaks to make sure 2/3 of every dollar spent is "overhead". Maybe you will feel more at home in Iran or Cuba- 1 Party, 1 Rule, No dissent.

I was adding to what you wrote. If the rest doesn't apply to you, ignore it.

Same old replies! You post unsubstantiated bs with some micro view and challenge people to prove you wrong. While we have certainly lost jobs to other nations, your statements are ludicrous and you can't prove any of them. If I am wrong, prove you are correct with some viable sources that name specific agreements and thousands of manufactures that went defunct due to them.
