Trump: America Will No Longer Be the ‘Piggy Bank that Everyone is Robbing’
Breitbart, Jun 9, 2018, John Carney

Donald Trump concluded his trip to the Group of 7 (G7) economics conference in Canada with a combative, unscheduled statement in which he promised that the United States would no longer be the “piggy bank that everyone is robbing.”

Flanked by Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow and National Security Adviser John Bolton, Trump said the ultimate goal of U.S. trade policy was the elimination of tariffs and subsidies. But short of that, he also pledged the U.S. would raise its own trade barriers to combat unfair trade practices around the world.

“We’re like the piggy bank that everybody’s robbing and that ends,” Trump said.
 
Trump praised the G7 nations for what he described as their efforts to “take advantage” of weak U.S. leadership

“I blame our leaders and I congratulate leaders of other countries for taking advantage of our leaders,” Trump said. “It’s going to stop. Or we’ll stop trading with them. And that’s a very profitable answer, if we have to do it.”

I thought this was covered under the other stories. Why post it again? What's the point?

Not everyone reads through every thread @TomSea   This encapsulates the core of the summit so it's been posted separately.  Why the hell get upset about it?

When you’re dusting off your 'worldview' and 'raison d'être' hackneyed routine, I know I was correct.     :cool:

The  most prolific robber of America's piggy bank is its own government.

^^^THIS!

And Trump was right there giving the Beast a giant helping hand to the tune of nearly 3 Trillion dollars in deficit spending.  Robbing not only from us, but our posterity to the 3rd and 4th generations.

I'm less worried about other nations being able to dump cheap goods into our market than I am our own government spending us into oblivion with all the Social Welfare crap and explosive government oversight programs.

As far as other nation's 'robbing' from this 'piggy bank' - if memory serves, it is our own government that puts it's greasy hands into that piggy bank to hand it to those nations they want to give a helping hand.  You know, like Iran, the Palestinians, ISIS and so forth under Obama.

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

So, instead, Trump has America rob Anericans.

Great.

That's not an alternative I prefer.

Oh, come on now....

Everyone knows it’s the unfair trade polices of the last decade that raised our GDP/debt ratio from 68 up to 106 percent.  Right?    :pondering:
