Just saw him on TV and he was being asked about the term “China People.” He said what else can you call people from China.
Have to agree he made a good point, right America people?

Dead loved ones, no healthcare, maybe medicare and SS taken away, China stops buying US soybeans.

No one said the road to making America Great Again was going to be easy. But the riches and winning when we come out on the other side It's going to be spectacular!!!

They say things like he is an honest crook or he tells it like it is and other stupid empty shit as an excuse to vote for such a shitty person while trying to make it like they don't agree with the level of vileness.
