Trump loves China for profit! for the people by the people “Forget-about-it”

Trumps Hypocrisy New Hotel uses Chinese Steel Killing US Jobs

Trump loves everything cheep for his profit! Actions speak louder than words, for the people by the people “Forget-about-it”

Trump vows to take on Chinese steel, but he also buys it, October 11, 2016 

“Its steel industry is not profit motivated, it’s generally controlled by the government in Beijing — it’s used as an employment policy, as well as manufacturing,” Paul said.

The US and Europe can’t compete with Chinese prices, often below the cost of production. (This is an economics definition of “dumping.”) China has been violating existing international trade laws to do that. The result: around 15,000 American steel and iron workers have lost their jobs over the past year, and thousands more are facing potential layoffs.

So, that’s the situation. Now, let’s revisit Sunday night’s debate: the Republican candidate brought up China dumping steel first, to which the Democrat responded, “And Donald Trump is buying it to build his buildings.”

Here’s what Clinton is talking about. Last week, Newsweek reported that Trump purchased steel and aluminum from China for two of his high-profile construction projects in Las Vegas and Chicago. The buildings opened in 2008 and 2009. According to the Newsweek investigation, Trump purchased Chinese metals using shell companies in the British Virgin Islands.

Trumps ties, suits, hats are made in China, the steel for his hotels come from china, he uses undocumented workers in every aspect of his broad holdings, he is a hypocrite, the cause of the elites running for office is power and profit.

Funny that I heard no one from M$Greedia raise this topic despite Hillary mentioning it in two debates.
