He gives China tons of needed equipment and someone has to buy it back for our own people?
For real?

Thats not to say the chinese gov't didn't also sell what we gave them, but it doesn't appear the stock kraft bought was the same stock we sent over.

Although in this case, Kraft at least has more empathy for this situation than Trump does.
