Trump Says China Is “Raping” America?

1:15 pm EST April 27th, 2011 | News | 17 Comments

Donald Trump says that China is “raping” the USA:

“China is raping this country,” Trump told employees at Wilcox Industries, a company that manufactures tactical equipment for U.S. military forces.

As a potential presidential candidate Trump has been critical of the Obama administration’s approach to the Asian economic powerhouse. At a news conference at the airport just after landing his helicopter in New Hampshire, Trump said China is taking over the world because its leaders are smarter.

In completely unrelated news:

So it’s at least ironic — and at most an example of gross hypocrisy — that Trump’s own line of men’s wear, the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, is manufactured in China.

I discovered this after walking from Salon’s offices to the large Macy’s in midtown Manhattan, where an entire section is devoted to the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection of suits and ties. This particular corner of the store is decorated with an oversize portrait of Trump; the line promises to provide “the pinnacle of style and sophistication” and “the necessities to be boardroom ready all of the time.”

Historically I’ve been a Trump fan, as a real-life version of the bombastic, American blowhard archetype. But it’s worth noting that this absolute moron is being considered – seriously – by more than a few members of one of this country’s two major political parties.

That is insane.

    Trump said China is taking over the world because its leaders are smarter.

    And The Donald offers himself as the solution to this problem? Haw!

    Hey, he’s a self-made man – made of his father’s money.

    Considering how much money he owes to banks, many of which have Chinese investors, Trump may want to watch his words.

    So, poor The Donald was just sitting there minding his own business when all of a sudden…

    Actually, I think China is a problem that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, the Donald blew his credibility with the birther thing.

    This is a joke coming from a Conservative, whose sole existence is predicated on the Us. vs. Them mentality.

    Between attacking the evil liberals and pretending to be the victim, I’m amazed you have time to come up with new lies.

    Frank. So you are appalled that on a liberal blog people would have the nerve to address
    the shortcomings of conservatives? OMG–best you head over to Red State or Drudge as they always offer liberals cookies and kind words.

    Are you truly this delusional? Or have you really been punkin’ everyone here because in reality you are a socialist Art History professor from Oberlin with a sick sense of humor?

    China is reaping America, not raping it.

    If China is raping us is because of the way we’re dressed. Clearly we’re asking for it.

    Well, Froth, we shouldn’t have accepted that drink from China. No tellin’ what was in it.

    I thought it would be hilarious if Sarah Palin were actually the GOP nominee. Now reality-based Americans have an even bigger laughingstock in Trump.

    Too fucking funny for words. I’m enjoying every single second of watching the GOP fall apart.

    Inquiring minds want to know: was he pulling his eyelids to the side when he said it? Because “Trump” means “class.”

    OMG I just read Frank. Apparently he thinks that Trump is someone the Democrats made up, not the GOP frontrunner.
