The Chinese slapped import bans on certain American farm commodities  that America's farmers typically supply for exports. To win back the farm vote that about everyone thought that he was going to lose during that trade war he opened the spigot on commodities that ended up with no market so that he could buy their votes back. Many of those commodities ended up either as livestock food (so meat is underpriced), and by flooding rural America with farm subsidies the USA must sell an increase in the national debt to whatever buyer there is. As in China. 

It has long been a conservative tenet that political decisions that buy elections by bleeding the treasury is a shameful deed to be avoided at all costs -- even recessions with high unemployment. Just when we liberals have come to all but completely despise that practice, Donald Trump does that. Donald Trump does not make that right. He may have prevented a landslide loss in the Electoral College instead of the narrower loss that he got... but he did so at a grave price to the treasury.        



 

Dammit! I want people to see the humanity behind a grave marker, and I want people to see the wrong in sending someone's body or ashes to a place with such a marker before that person's time. Of all the crimes that I associate with the Trump Administration the worst is negligent homicide. Damn him! Damn him! Damn him!  

     

I heard Trump was subsidizing the farmers with the tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump is actually pretty smart when it comes to business. You'd think a regime with a billion mouths to feed would be smart enough to leave food off the table when their messing with the worlds largest food producer. I mean, an American right wing country could bring China to its knees by cutting off a portion of food supply and tripling tariffs and messing with them militarily while its moving back into manufacturing and positioning themselves to replace them. As we say, where there's a will, there is a way. I know that's garbled French which you's don't grasp but we do and that's all that matters.

I'm going to assume that you know where COVID19 came from and understand that they failed to contain and failed to inform while our people were doing business over there and then used their influence with top UN (a third worlder with college degree) to cover it up and understand that they are solely responsible for the deaths of over three hundred thousand American citizens and I hope the old man with dementia that you elected doesn't forget it and he doesn't have to be reminded/lectured like you. He'll probably be the most coddled and protected and absent or unavailable President that the country has ever seen. I can already see it now. Where is Sleepy Joe? What you probably did is succeed in turning the Democratic Presidency into a complete mockery? I know that wasn't your intent but that's what you probably did Maybe that was the reason why a portion of the Republican party supported Biden and more or less crossed over to the Democratic side. Who knows, they could be positioning themselves to take over when the Democratic party implodes.
