I tend to be more upset with the politicians and what not on THIS side that ALLOWED China to take advantage of weak foreign policy set by a low energy US government..
Not saying it was right of them to do so, but if you leave your front door open, are you going to be upset that someone came and robbed your house?
I don't understand people that don't even know what TPP stands for, much less what it was about, same for the Paris Climate accords, hell even what NATO is all about, but when POTUS says something about anything suddenly everyone is an expert is a huge fan of globalization becuz POTUS is a dipshit.
So yea, it's a shit thing to do,

we shall see.
