Really? Really?

I cannot for the life of me think why you would ignore all his anti-China rhetoric, designed to get him the protectionist and racist vote, and instead say it's not about the country, it's about corporations. Jeez, I don't even think he's tried to say that yet. But maybe he will now if he hears there are people on the left who say they could believe it.
