Besides his willingness to endlessly harangue President Trump whenever presented with an opportunity to do so, what is it that would possess anyone to continually offer airtime to that fat tub of RINO, Chris Christie. And that we still have those willing to do so does, as far as I’m concerned, say more about them than it does him. And I only say that because it was as recently as this past Sunday that Christie was once again out making the rounds, this time stopping by at ABC’s ‘This Week,’ hosted by former Clinton hack, and faux ‘journalist,’ George ‘Stephy’ Stephanopoulos. Personally, I think that ‘the fat man’ thinks he has a shot at being president.
So
anyway, it was during this latest appearance that Christie attempted to make
the argument that President Trump’s tariffs caused the world to see the United
States as an “unreliable partner.” Stephy said, “I think you identified the
tariffs as the number one issue. Liberation Day is probably the most
consequential day of the first 100 days. Is there an exit strategy for Donald
Trump on this? He asked, “Can he make this sort of series of deals that limit
the damage?” Christie said, “Well, it depends on what those deals look like,
George. I will tell you, if you look at the reaction of the rest of the world,
the biggest problem is that the world now sees us as an unreliable partner."
He said,
“And Donald Trump, I believe, misevaluated that. I think he thought he could
come in and bully them and say, we’re the biggest economy in the world, and you
may not like what I’m going to do, but I’m going to do it anyway. What he
didn’t count on was the effect it’s had on the bond market as well, and the
problem there is we’re now looking at a real potential for stagflation to have
an economy that is in recession, which we’re one quarter towards that now.” He
added, “In the end, what most economists are now saying, and business leaders
are saying, we’re heading to stagflation, which we haven’t had for a long time.
And he didn’t run on that."
What most
Americans recognize as a leveling of the playing field, President Trump’s
enemies somehow see us mistreating those same trading partners who have been
taking advantage of us for decades. Our tariffs are the response to their
tariffs and barriers on American goods, their dumping goods in our country,
their government subsidization, and their currency manipulation that favors
them in trade. Our new trade policy is a simple one. It goes something like
this, “Suckers No More.” The one and only reason that Democrats, RINOs and the
‘fake news’ media are against tariffs is because those tariffs have been
proposed by President Trump. That’s it.
Clearly
if it was up to him, Christie would give America away and walk hand in hand
with our enemies. Look, we’ve been doing it the Democrat and RINO way for more decades
than I care to count. And where has it gotten us? We now find ourselves with a
multi-trillion-dollar trade imbalance and huge national debt deficit. This is
the type of person who has been in charge during the decline of the western
world and is completely unqualified to even have an opinion at this point. He
speaks only to suckers and losers. It’s obvious that all of these RINOs, Never-Trumpers
and Democrats are scared to death that President Trump’s policies are actually going
to work!
And so
according to this fat tub of RINO, just what is it that makes America a
reliable partner? The fact that we have
politicians who cheerfully give away the store or who accomplish nothing more
than to limit our opportunities, along with the opportunities of our trading
partners? I’m not expert, but the idea of trade isn’t to bankrupt your
partners, but to create an atmosphere the benefits both sides, and that’s what President
Trump is trying to do here! As it is, America is expected to keep taking a
soaking from those who insist upon shutting off our exports! And Communist China,
along with the majority of Europe are more than happy to keep it that way!
Imagine
being a guy like Christie. Your only credentials are being a former Republican
governor who’s willing to take every opportunity you’re presented with to slander
President Trump in exchange for getting your ugly mug in front of a TV camera.
And you spend your days sitting around doing nothing more than hoping against
hope that the telephone will ring. And why is Christie always on these Sunday
shows. He holds no position in the party, his candidacy for President was a
joke and yet the ‘fake news’ folks have him on all the time. It must pay pretty
well to be a RINO. After all, as a RINO you get invited on all the Sunday shows
to dump on your own party.
And contrary
to Christie’s claims, when other nations are gouging us on their tariffs
against goods made here in American, standing up for America and demanding better
treatment from these countries is not being an “unreliable” partner. It’s
looking after Americans first, something Christie is quite unfamiliar with
since he doesn’t really care about regular Americans all that much. It’s not a
partnership if the U.S. is always the one getting raked over the coals, i.e.
when our “partners” make it impossible for U.S. goods to compete in their
market. Most Americans see the world as a bunch of fake trading partner nations
that have been shafting America for decades.
Democrats
helped rig the trade gouging and love impoverishing U.S. citizens and wrecking
them with intentionally created massive price inflation. President Trump’s tariffs are intended to make
the rest of the world quit seeing the U.S. as a dupe and an easy touch. There will
likely be some uncertainties and rough patches ahead. However, hopefully President
Trump’s actions will lower the protectionism that foreign countries have been
applying against America. Renegotiating trade terms takes time, and the interim
uncertainty negatively affects markets. Getting the new deals done, and in
place, with large trading partners will reduce that uncertainty.
Christie
really does need to get with the program. The economic indicators are pointing
up, energy and food prices are headed down, job growth and real wages are
stronger than the ‘experts’ predicted and are showing most growth in the
private sector rather than in government bureaucracies. Also, those in the
world community are competing to make extensive new trade and investment deals
with the Trump Administration that advance American interests rather than
sacrifice them. Also, the U.S. border is now secure and under control, and
illegal aliens are being deported or self-deporting in droves. All that winning
in just 100 days of President Trump 2.0.
President
Trump is the first president to understand that the true power of the U.S. is
that it accounts for 30 percent of the entire world GDP. It’s the one country
that is economically indispensable to the rest of the world, and he is
brilliantly leveraging that fact. Christie has neither the brains, nor the imagination,
to see that President Trump is using the tariffs as a tool to get this country
a better trade deal with each of these nations. Christie is also too stupid to
see that President Trump has been successful so far and our economy and the
American people, including Christie himself, will end up being much better off
than they were under the Democrats.
And finally, it’s in
Christie that we have a man whose record is filled with political opportunism,
mismanagement, and policy failures that undermine his credibility to lecture
President Trump, or anyone else, on sound economic or geopolitical leadership. And
in terms of foreign policy or trade experience, Christie has none. Now, as a
failed 2016 and 2024 presidential candidate, Christie has pivoted entirely to
attacking President Trump, not on principle, but seemingly out of bitterness
for his own political irrelevance. In short, Christie lacks the economic
record, the leadership results, and the public trust to credibly criticize
President Trump whose America First policies produced real gains in trade,
energy, jobs, and national strength.
