“China has a fantastic opportunity right now to win the narrative.” Trump, however, seems unfazed. What did he promise? Greater, superior, and more powerful than before.
Trump claimed that the Golden Age of America will bring more and better-paying jobs, domestic manufacturing, and treating other nations—especially China—the same way they have treated us.
