He has realized what the average Joe with an education has known for a fact:
Our economy is heavily dependent on China’s growth and ability to absorb a huge amount of American product, especially tech. Apple’s foreing sales, for example are 62% of its revenue, and Apple supports millions of jobs world wide, all of them depending on its success. And that dependence is also true about many US companies. If they fail in China, our economy will be close to collapse.
Trump finally realized what he should have known, and perhaps lied about to fool the sheep out there, that if we have a problem with China business, we’re fked.
I agree that China needs to open up to our businesses there more, and we should push for that, but it is a far cry from Trump’s earlier bullshit.
So, the sucker is doing another 180.
The sherp won’t notice, or it won’t matter to them for various reasons, but the rest of us do.
