They've been working on the nukes for about 24+ years. President Clinton enabled them and sold China the technology. President Bush applied sanctions which had some marginal impact, mostly to show the world they'd let their people starve before stopping their quest for nukes. Obama was back to enabling them and appeasement.
Just how much do you expect Trump do in 5 months with the crap sandwich left for him? How much could anyone do in that time short of launching airstrikes and possibly starting WWIII with China?
@driftdiverI wouldn't expect much, as I'm a sane, informed, intelligent man. But Trump bragged and bragged about how great he is and what he would accomplish, showing total lack of comprehension. We were told what a GREAT dealmaker he is, but he gave away more than Obama...just handed things over to the Chinese...and got bupkis. He turns out to be a WORSE negotiator than OBAMA! We got the same results with Obama without giving anything away!
Now today, it looks like he's realized that he got rolled. He's mad and will make them pay. (Well,
make the American consumer pay, if he does what he claimed he would do.)
You see, those of us who realized it was a far more complex issue than Donnie claimed were called names. We were chastised for not putting our heads in the sand and just genuflecting before The
One Don. But we were the ones who were
right -- an Open Wallet Policy wouldn't work with China.
Trump is used to negotiating where he could be a bully. But when there are others with a position, he's weak. Let's hope for the future, he can shut his piehole, restrain his little fingers, and start learning some lessons! I'll give him credit if he bounces back from this and succeeds!
