Why didn’t Trump stop all the flights from China in November? He could have done it in 10 seconds and we know he doesn’t give a fuck what China thinks (except when ivanka is looking for trademarks)
The virus hasn't started in November yet in China. What's there to stop? Trump did ban all the flights from mainland China, back in February. Where was Biden? What was Biden doing? What did Biden say? Nothing. He was busy saving America's soul!! America is about to get very ill with a deadly virus and all he is interested in is its soul...
Nancy Pelosi was telling everyone to visit China town and the Mayor of Florence was telling everyone to hug a Chinese person. Progressive politics literally kills you!
Trump doesn't even know how much 17 times 6 is. And that clown is trusted to lead a whole country??? The only things he knows very well is cheating and corruption. In these things it is difficult to beat him. No other President did ever better than he.
I'm confused. PMI that measures specifically manufacturing has been over 50 for years. Also if it didn't "help" much looking at it the other way at least it's not growing? Reversal could take a long time and China is doing everything they can to fight it. Also according to Steve Bannon in an interview, they were looking forward to imports from vietnam and other countries that are not China. The whole idea of the tarriffs were to make us less dependent on China, not cut imports out completely. It'd be nice if Japan can make a lot of our goods but they're expensive! A pandemic they caused. Imagine where the deficit would be if there was no covid. Nobody saw Covid coming, yet liberals blame Trump when the whole world got plagued.
And then Trump said the virus will be fixed in 4 weeks. It wasn't enough. That was obvious. The virus was already here in February. Everyone knew it. I didn't go to Chinatown when i went to NYC in January because I knew the virus was coming, and I grossly underestimated the impact the virus would have. My parents cancelled their trips for the year in January. Doctors were already talking about it. My friend, whose a state senator, said (in January) this was going to be an issue. All my customers stopped international travel in December and stopped domestic travel in February. At best, Trump made a miscalculation and he won't admit he was wrong. At worst, he did it intentionally because he knew it would hit liberal enclaves first. And he's got all you doing mental gymnastics to prove that he was right the whole time. If you want, I can give you a sharpie so you can make up your own facts. Maybe you can draw a circle around Alabama or something.
My business was in the cross hairs of the tarriffs. That is tarriffs were designed to protect a company like mine. All the "job creation" by Foxconn and others opening plants in the US to create 30,000 jobs were supposed to help my company. We found no change. Customers are willing to pay the tarrifs because its too hard to move supply chains. However, COVID has helped with reshoring. Manufacturers can't afford to have one geography making product anymore.
Remember the latter of what I mentioned. We're just less reliant on China, but nobody says we can't import from other countries. Vietnam is a great contender.
