Now, as talks drag, he says only he is tough enough to walk away from a bad deal.
“China is DREAMING that Sleepy Joe Biden, or any of the others, gets elected in 2020,” Mr. Trump wrote recently on Twitter , referring to the former vice president, who launched his presidential campaign last month. “They LOVE ripping off America!” “We poke our friends in the eye and then we say we are going to get in a trade war with China?” Joe Biden said during a recent visit to Concord, N.H. Photo: cj gunther/EPA/Shutterstock Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently warned against what she calls “tariff negotiation by tweet.”
Many voters appear wary of Mr. Trump’s approach toward China. A Fox News poll conducted May 11-14 found that 34% of registered voters believed increased tariffs on imports from China would help the U.S. economy, while 45% believed they would hurt. And, by a four-point margin, the survey found voters believed that Mr. Biden would do a better job than Mr. Trump at protecting U.S. interests with China.
Share Your Thoughts How firm a stance should the U.S. president take in trade negotiations with China? Join the conversation below. That drew a response from one of Mr. Biden’s chief rivals, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who tweeted that it was “wrong to pretend that China isn’t one of our major economic competitors,” pointing to the loss of 3 million manufacturing jobs since 2000.
Unfortunately his clown policies are killing US markets
Trump (manipulated by trade hating China hating Lighthizer) would probably walk away from a good deal, and perhaps has already.
We’ve hear this before, “Only I can fix it.” How’s that working out for you MAGAFarmers ?
Schumer agrees w/ the president.
Since when have democrats said ANY republican president is the right person for ANY job😳😳😳
It is only because he is in office that PRC issue is even addressed. Obama failed utterly in that regard
trump wrong for job all he way round. America might be financially broke before this money sucking scum is evicted from or convicted in and forced out of office.
We did not need wsj to tell us that dems think Trump is the wrong person. They have never had a good word for him
China is Biden its time...
Walking away is a very easy and a very coward thing to do but provide a good plan and have useful discussions before leaving is a much much more clever stand to take.
Winning!
He's the only person that took the job. DefeatDemCrow
How much long do we have to listen to bad Democratic option on foreign trade? They duck at it. They have always sucked at it. They will continue to suck at it.
Trump, the only person for the job.
Trump is right!Democrats are bullshit!
In the meantime China is developing trade with the rest of the world and leaves America behind.
China & Russia love liberals & love the idea that liberals are pushing a socialist agenda. Russia/China know that eventually liberals will gut the US military & bankrupt America to pay for their Socialist freebies. Liberals are determined to destroy America
United States made a bad deal in November 2016.
Meanwhile: President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia would supply soy beans and poultry meat to China and that the United States had effectively given up on that market. Putin was speaking at the Russia Calling annual investment forum.
For many years democrats make USA dumping ground for imports and deficit ballooned out and with heavily borrowed money now Trump is trying to change USA from softie to hardline trade negotiator.
Democrats prefer to do nothing and let China continue ripping us off.
What dumb headline. Trump started this whole mess. Free market ideas are always the best

⚠️ So Chinese could boot Apple out of China in retaliation for Huawei & Trump's ridiculous tariffs. This would crush the US StockMarket. Plunging the Trump Administration into mass chaos. Then, the Chinese could stop buying US debt for a few months. No MAGA after that.. 😎
