You can't sustain a free country such as the US wile buying products from a Communist slave nation such as China, if it's allowed to continue the only jobs available will be at Walmart, Costco and Chinese warehouse importing their goods

China is using their monies from imports to increase their military, and take over the free world, I choose freedom over a foreign enemy of the world as seen in Communist China
You mean like Biden having open borders allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the US taking American jobs, not every illegal is working in the field picking produce

I live in Calif and the liberal local governments are allowing sidewalk taco, tamale, fruit, produce, stands on every street corner, not paying taxes and in violation of health laws, they're untouchable by the policing authorities as local businesses in shopping centers close

Perhaps the liberal democrats could do a better job at bringing American jobs back, Big Smiles!

So which is it? Do you hate those communist slave nations or is capitalistic free markets? Seems like you dislike both? Or is it something else about both these groups you find offensive?

I frequent Los Angeles, Sandiego, Riverside, San Bernardino, your claims are "False" the vast majority are unlicensed carts and tables on sidewalks

Well thank you for telling me what I saw, I mean, it is common lately. I will take pictures next time so I can win an internet award.

By the way, San Diego is two words so your argument is false, anyone who really lived in California knows that.

My son lives in the Fruitvale section of Oakland and along Foothill Blvd there is a whole block of Central American hot food stands. Absolutely top notch.
Oakland Calif a liberal haven of filth in the streets and crime, it's so bad that In-N-Out hamburger chain had to close their doors and leave due to crime

Obstacles? Did you read the linked Forbes article?
Quote from article:One of the most significant hurdles...

Did you read the article?
What, of any of these items, has the Trump administration coordinated and worked to accomplish to achieve its goal? Why are we alienating all of our trade partners since we will need them if we isolate ourselves from China?

Good. I have tried to make my objections and reasoning clear. So far the only reasoning I have seen on why we should proceed appears to be "Well, we don't have any real plan but it might turn out OK so let's try".

I know right? Trump should have solved all the problems in America and the world by now. What a maroon!

Yes and others have put out reasons why they think his actions will work.

Me? I'm honest enough to say i dont know. Good for you if you do know.

Got nothing so you are just going to make up things I didn't say huh?
Yes and others have put out reasons why they think his actions will work.

They did? Whom? Not seen anything from anyone so far. Every reputable source I have seen has pretty much said it is a lofty goal but would require a whole lot more then what Trump is putting into it.
Me? I'm honest enough to say i dont know. Good for you if you do know.
I don't claim to know. Everyone of the people who do know that I have seen say pretty much the same thing. I trust their judgement.

NPR and PBS are essentially branches of the Democratic Party.
NPR favors Trump and the GOP.
It's the same with the FBI and Justice Department using taxpayer funding to try and stop Trump from being elected--it's against the law.
Never happened.
I think individuals involved should be prosecuted, but the first step is to cut funding.
Prosecuted for what, holding Trump accountable for his crimes?

In -N-Out Burgers, first store closure in its 75 year history, presently 400+ stores​

Oakland's In-N-Out closes due to ongoing crime​

After 18 years of serving East Oakland, the restaurant near the airport shuttered. Customers and former employees lined up on the restaurant's last day to say their goodbyes​

Then what a crazy world. Those against Trump are going nuts over him cutting funding to NPR, yet you claim NPR favors Trump and the GOP.
Then it shouldn't be beyond you to work out that a perception that they may be supporting one party or another is not relevant to the argument.

That goes against all of my experience.

I recognise that you can't comprehend it. That has always been very obvious indeed.
