Trump’s cock and bull on Making America Great Again

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 2018): What do Third World Countries have in common with developed nations?

The majority are led by political leaders who are full of cock and bull.

The people and communities are so easily manipulated and conned that they elect them to be their leaders.

You don’t agree? Then, view the above video clip of President Donald Trump’s cock and bull of how he wants to Make America Great Again or his skewered claims of great Made In the US products.

Then, contrast that with Trump’s continuous rocking of the global economic order by waging a trade war with China:

"Chinese state media slams Trump for 'extortion' in trade dispute

SHANGHAI/BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese state media on Monday lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies in an unusually personal attack, even as they sought to reassure investors about the health of China's economy as growth concerns roiled its financial markets.

China's strictly controlled news outlets have frequently rebuked the United States and the Trump administration as the trade conflict has escalated, but they have largely refrained from specifically targeting Trump.

The latest criticism from the overseas edition of the ruling Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper singled out Trump, saying he was starring in his own "street fighter-style deceitful drama of extortion and intimidation".

Trump's desire for others to play along with his drama is "wishful thinking", a commentary on the paper's front page said, arguing that the United States had escalated trade friction with China and turned international trade into a "zero-sum game".

The heated dispute between the world's two biggest economies has roiled financial markets including stocks, currencies and the global trade of commodities from soybeans to coal in recent months.

The United States and China implemented tariffs on $34 billion worth of each other's goods in July. Washington is expected to soon implement tariffs on an additional $16 billion of Chinese goods, which China has already said it will match immediately.

On Friday, China's finance ministry unveiled new sets of additional tariffs on 5,207 goods imported from the United States worth $60 billion.

That move was in response to the Trump administration's proposal of a 25-percent tariff on $200 billion (153.91 billion pounds) worth of Chinese imports.

STOCK MARKET SWINGS

The paper's vitriol follows Trump's comments on Twitter from Saturday in which he boasted that his strategy of placing steep tariffs on Chinese imports was "working far better than anyone ever anticipated", and that Beijing was now talking to the United States about trade.

Trump cited losses in China's stock market as he predicted the U.S. market could "go up dramatically" once trade deals were renegotiated.

In Monday morning trade, China's stocks swung in and out of positive territory and its currency was stable as investors weighed the impact of the latest volley in the Sino-U.S. trade war, and as Beijing made moves to shore up the country's tumbling yuan currency.

But a flurry of articles in Chinese state media emphasised the resilience of China's economy and downplayed concerns about the impact of the Sino-U.S. trade war.

"Market participants foresee a relatively stable Chinese currency in the near term, without fear of impacts from the U.S.-China trade dispute. They expect solid economic growth momentum amid policy fine-tuning," an article in the official English-language China Daily newspaper said, citing Chinese economists.

On Friday, the People's Bank of China said it would require banks to keep reserves equivalent to 20 percent of their clients' foreign exchange forwards positions from Monday, in a move to stabilise the yuan.

"Leading China's economy on a stable and far-reaching path, we have confidence and determination," another commentary in the main edition of the People's Daily said.

Trump has threatened tariffs on over $500 billion in Chinese goods, covering virtually all U.S. imports from the Asian giant, demanding that Beijing make fundamental changes to its policies on intellectual property protection, technology transfers and subsidies for high technology industries.

The nationalist Global Times, responding in an editorial late on Sunday to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow's remarks that China should not underestimate Trump's resolve, said China did not fear "sacrificing short-term interests".

"China has time to fight to the end. Time will prove that the U.S. eventually makes a fool of itself," the Global Times said.
