In Obama’s second term he made his “Pivot to Asia” culminating in the Trans Pacific Partnership, a deal designed to upskill manufacturing in other Asian countries so US companies had alternatives they could to turn to instead of being forced into china where it was accepted as the cost of doing business that your IP would be stolen and rolled into a Chinese copy cat version of your product.
Trump ran against this as one of his main planks in that election, positioning it as a hand out to china. The press never held him accountable for proudly and defiantly misunderstanding the fundamental point of what he spend so much time talking about and instead tried to pretend there was some savvy politics in play…”critics say this is not what the TPP does, but trump is using this to connect with a group of voters who have concerns about China’s growth.”
The people who are supposed to call balls and strikes spend so much time arguing that a pitch that came out of the back of the pitchers hand during his wind up was actually a clever pitch giving the batter no chance to hit it
