Ignorance is Bipartisan. We Are Doomed.

Eli,

The latest Trump idiocy, similar to the earlier Trump idiocy:

Trump: 'We can't continue to allow China to rape our country'

(CNN)Donald Trump on Sunday compared the U.S.'s trade deficit with China, which he regularly laments and vows to tackle as president, to rape.

"We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing," Trump said during his second rally Sunday in Fort Wayne, Indiana, referring to China's high number of exports relative to the U.S.
Trump has repeatedly accused China of manipulating its currency to make its exports more competitive on the global market and has claimed that China is "killing" the U.S. on trade.
It's depressing the Republicans will nominate this bloviating ignoramus. It is even more depressing the Democrats are going to put up a candidate that essentially agrees with Trump that trade isn't good for the country. Which means ignorance is bipartisan.

We are most definitely doomed.

Bill
