How much has your electric bill decreased
[QUOTE=GDreams;2526698]No I don't. I visited the US and 35 other countries including China. It is obvious that China is on a path to surpass the US. Trump could not dent that because he was too busy burning allies that would help.
As for your manufacturing growth it was pretty close to zero for the US in 2019 prior to Covid. [URL]https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/manufacturing-production.[/URL].
So the tariffs went to buy farm votes, that really helped average Joe!
Stole technology? Trade with China helped Europe gain many useful technologies, The US aerospace benefitted from German scientists, Japan and Korean manufacturing provided much of the new technology for manufacturing.
England is now coal free in power generation. In 10 years it will be gas free as well. Solar and wind are cheaper. The gains are being made subsidy free. Texas has the highest portion of wind power in the US, are actively shutting down coal plants and expanding solar with the cheapest rates.
How is it that all these great insights you have are demonstrably incorrect.[/QUOTE]You are kidding Right? How much has electric bill decreased since we introduced this cheap wind and solar energy over the past 10 years. Every country electric bills increased dramaticaly with green power. Liberals tell you how cheap this new electricity will be while their bills skyrocket.
It's Official Worst President in US History.

"Agent Orange", worst president in history. Even the, Republican Ex-Govenor "The Terminator", Arnold Schwarzenegger: Trump 'will go down in history as the worst president ever'. Well at least he got that right.
But according to "The Terminator", "Agent Orange", WON'T BE BACK. Kkkkkkkkkk!
Maybe China has the US by the proverbial "balls"
[QUOTE=ChochaMonger;2525886]A majority of Europeans believe America's political system is broken, that China will be the world's leading power within a decade, and that Joe Biden will be unable to halt his country's decline on the world stage, according to a report.
While many welcomed Biden's victory in November's US election, more Europeans than not feel that after four years of Donald Trump the US cannot be trusted, according to the study by the European Council on Foreign Relations.
"Europeans like Biden, but they don't think America will come back as a global leader," said the thinktank's director, Mark Leonard. "When George W Bush was president, they were divided about how America should use its power. With Biden entering the White House, they are divided about whether America has power at all."
The survey of 15,000 people in 11 European countries, conducted at the end of last year, found that the shift in European sentiment towards the US in the wake of the Trump presidency had led to a corresponding unwillingness to support Washington in potential international disputes.
At least half of respondents in all 11 countries surveyed felt, for example, that their government should remain neutral in any conflict between the US and China, while no more than 40% in any country said they would back Washington against Russia.
"It's clear that the tumultuous Trump presidency has left an indelible imprint on Europe's attitude towards the US," said Ivan Krastev, chair of the Centre for Liberal Strategies, an NGO in Sofia, and an ECFR board member. "The majority of Europeans are now sceptical about the capacity of the US to shape the world. It makes many, rightly or wrongly, want to opt for a more independent role for the EU in the world."
In their report, Leonard and Krastev note that while more than 60% of those polled believed the US was "broken", most evaluated the EU and their own countries' systems much more positively an opportunity, they argue, to harness the collective power of the bloc for the benefit and protection of its citizens.
The survey found that 51% of those polled did not agree with the statement that under Biden the US was likely to resolve its internal divisions and seek to address international issues such as climate change, peace in the Middle East, relations with China or European security.
Amid a widespread sense of growing Chinese superiority, 79% of those polled in Spain, 72% in Portugal, 72% in Italy and 63% in France said they thought China would overtake the US as the world's leading superpower within the next decade.
Just over 32% of all respondents and a startling 53% of respondents in Germany felt that after voting for Trump, Americans could not be trusted. Only in Hungary and Poland did significantly more people disagree with that view than agree.
Just 10% of those polled saw the US as a "reliable" security partner that would always protect Europe, while at least 60% in every country polled said they doubted their country could depend on US support in the event of a crisis.
The authors say the geopolitical consequences of this shift are significant: two-thirds of those surveyed said it was now important that Europe look after its own defence, including 72% in Portugal, 71% in Sweden, 70% in France and 69% in Poland.
At least half of respondents in every country surveyed said they would prefer their government to be neutral in a conflict between the US and China. Across the 11 states surveyed, only 23% of respondents thought their country should take Washington's side against Russia, with 59% preferring to remain neutral.
Between 38% and 48% of respondents in seven countries thought the EU should adopt a tougher international stance on issues such as trade, taxation and regulation, while most countries considered Germany was now a more important country to "have a good relationship" with than the US.
The poll also revealed that in nine of the 11 countries Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden where the same question was asked in previous years, the average share of people saying the EU's political system worked very or fairly well had risen from 46% to 48%.
It found that people who believed their own national political system was working, which was more often the case in northern than in southern Europe, were more likely to say the EU was a success.
The report identified four "tribes" that went a long way to grouping respondents' positions, depending on whether they felt the EU, US or China were rising or declining. The biggest tribe, "In Europe we trust", comprised 35% of respondents, while only 9% belonged to "In America we trust".

Wondering if you are right. My suspicion too
Trump was breaking up the China trade where US jobs and factories were shipped overseas and the owners profited by using Chinese slave labor by firing their US workforce. Apple and Nike come to mind. Trump was jacking up the import taxes on Chinese goods, screwing up this profitable trade at the expense of American workers so he had to go. As Abraham Lincoln was also a strong advocate of import taxes to encourage US manufacturing jobs, he was also an advocate of US manufacturing goods in US factories using US workers, so this has a strong precedent in US history. But this benefits US workers and not the factory owners. China wanted him gone and so did the Establishment. Follow the money. Trump wasn't good, but he was better than Hillary or Jao Xiden. At least he wasn't a professional political parasite who lived off a government paycheck for most of his life. Looks like a bunch of Robinhood rebels are hitting the Big Guys on Wall Street this week. If they can't get a good paying job due to the China Covid shutdown and China taking US jobs, they can form wolf packs and hunt Hedgies on Gamestop. LOL.

Will "Foxy" News, be news worthy?
[QUOTE=Canada;2527236]It is official that 3 liberal agencies call Trump worst ever even before he took office. Do I need to find 4 conservative agencies to explain how much worse Obama was? You probably believe CNN is not liberal will report Biden the same way they reported Trump.
Biden will be even worse than Obama based on his first 10 days. It should be a fun election in 2022👍.[/QUOTE]The same can easily be said about "Foxy" News. Do you think they will report Biden the same way they reported "Agent Orange"?
But I'll give you this much, "Foxy" News, did inevitably come to their senses, w/r to the election results. FINALLY!
