    Economically? They could literally kill tens of millions by cutting off medicines alone.

    Americans haven't a clue how they have sold their souls too countries that care very little for them..

    Just because he said he’s a candidate does not in any rational objective or fair minded manner make it a campaign appearance or a rally for his campaign nor a campaign video. It can not reasonably be called a campaign appearance.

    Do you really think Hitler or Tojo were more powerful then than Xi is now? China has a huge economy, nuclear weapons and 1.3 billion people.

    And yet, I did... reasonably...... and will stand by it all day....

    Since he can't draw the audiences and money he could in 2016, he needs to take every speaking opportunity to remind us what a POS he is..

    SNIP
    Trump was "omnipresent" in the media in the 2016 election, but "he's not now," Haberman said. He launched his 2024 campaign months ago in November, yet his speech on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference was "only his fourth real event," according to Haberman.

    If Hitler's team was ever able to create a nuclear bomb, with their V2 rockets, they would have easily won. That aside even, the US at the start of WW2 didn't have much of a military, certainly a naval power that was all, yet Germany at will picked off merchant ships off our coast.

    The US still has a greater economy, far greater military and nuclear weapons. !!!

    America's biggest enemy is the Democrat Party. Who sent the jobs to China? The Democrats. Who built China? The Democrats. Who over-regulates our economy? The Democrats. Who over-taxes corporations? The Democrats. Who promotes the extortion of companies with unions? The Democrats. Who floods our country with illegals from shithole countries? The Democrats.

    It is not China. It is not Russia. It is the Democrats. The only reason China is our 'big enemy' is because the Military Industrial Complex and the politicians that get kickbacks from them say it is. Who just finished serving on Boeing's board of directors? Boeing being part of the MIC.....one Nimarata Haley...someone who doesn't know jack **** about Boeing's business other than the kickback part of it. And why did she get that position? It's called a payoff.

    The sooner this swamp rat slithers away, the better.

    Not really. Those medicines are patented by pharmaceuticals. What will happen, if China does that, is simply changing where those medicines would be manufactured. That takes time and money, which means drug costs go up. That will happen if pharmaceutical companies voluntarily change where it is manufactured. Going from China to Vietnam or even Indonesia happens if that is done, but again, the costs will go up.

    Most jobs have been lost because of technology, not China, especially manufacturing jobs.

    In WW2, literally the entire nation was ready to die for the emperor if we invaded. In China, the people were divided among Chang Kai Chek, a warlord, and Mao Tse Tung, another warlord, both of whom put their differences aside to fight the Japanese. Even in WW2, the people were China's greatest asset again the Empire of Japan.

    But today, China does have 1.3 billion people. India has 1.4 billion people. So, who is more powerful here in that regard? Yes, China has nuclear weapons and has had them since the 1950s. But even at a time or two, China was viewed as an "ally" to the US. Today, the biggest threat to China is US Hemogony in the region. I am not saying it is our fault, but from their eyes, that is what they see. And that is how their policy is geared towards. But the people love our movies and our culture, among other European cultures.

    Wrong ! Not everything he says to anyone anytime or any place is a campaign events. Campaign events per FEC and other regulators are pretty well defined an an appearance at CPAC does not meet such a defined event. None of the speeches by anyone at CPAC meets the legitimate definition of a campaign event, rally, or campaign video release. A Trump Twitter or truth, him writing an op Ed pierce or speaking to a group everyone else speaks to is not in any way shape or form an actual campaign event. And no I will not back down from this reasonable position to you or anyone else.

    There were 3 candidates running for president who spoke at CPAC and none of them addressed their candidacy or focused their speech on the presidential straw poll that would be taken.

    We need to build a ring of allied deterrent nations around China just like we did to contain the Soviet Union. Containment and isolation is the best policy in dealing with their aggression. Europe to contain Russia , Israel and the Arab nations to contain Iran, Japan, India, Australia, and SE Asia to contain China and North Korea and the US to support all three containments of the axis of evil.

    No we don't. We need to be competitive and bring back industry to our country. We need to STAY THE **** OUT of other country's neighborhoods and mind our own DAMN BORDER.

    I've grown too old (and I'm not that old) to keep believing this bullshit propaganda spewed by *******s in DC that create the problems. I've traveled, I've seen and I've verified their lies.

    America first, **** everybody else.

    And you do that by fixing your own homeland. China is winning the war without firing a shot. We're gonna be their bitch at the rate we're going.

    Current Events must be a kinder and gentler place to make-believe. lol

    Poor side-kicking Nikki, Kari Lake won the VP straw poll spot @ CPAC big time and declined saying that she can't be a VP while she's the governor of Arizona.
    Nikkis gonna have to up her delusions about herself too.

    Do you mean Vietnam, a communist nation, or Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country in the world? Or how about Japan, that country that does not like "American stuff" with all their rules and regs in which American cars don't sell there but they do sell in China?.
