Read "Secret Empires" and you will understand why Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan,
Jeff Flakey, McCain, Joe Biden and other career politicians are fighting Trump's
trade fair trade policies. They receive, in some cases, billions of dollars into
their family cabals through loop holes in campaign finance laws. For instance,
McConnell's extended family receives money from many sources that is not
required to be reported on McConnell's IRS records. No wonder he follows
nonsense senate rules that thwart Trump rather than the constitution. Get rid of
him! Change laws so these slime balls cannot get rich off their public service.


Everyone admits the past 40+ years of U.S. trade deals have resulted in the
massive export of U.S. wealth via jobs and manufacturing gains within other
nations.  The financial beneficiaries of those prior trade positions were: Wall
Street, multinational corporations and multinational banks.
The losers of all prior trade priorities was the U.S. middle-class.  This point
is inarguable, just look around.  Stop the nonsense and quit listening to those
who control the markets.
So ask yourself, friends and family this very important question:
If prior U.S. trade policies resulted in the export and redistribution of U.S.
wealth... What happens when you reverse the process?

A timely book by Peter Schweizer, "Secret Empires", explains how Chinese
companies purchased U.S. politicians to gain trade advantages.   When you
understand this process, you better understand why those same politicians today
are against the Trump trade policy that is antithetical to their purchased
interests.
Reminder:
<https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/16/tom-donohue-warns-president-tru
mp-against-trade-action-against-china/>  U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom
Donohue is warning President Trump not to take any trade action against China or
he will unleash his purchased control agents within congress and financial media
to destroy his presidency.

Allow me to re-emphasize:
All opposition to President Trump stems from the underlying financial and
economic policy. All opposition is about money!
When you ask the "why" question five times you end up discovering the financial
motive for all opposition. It doesn't matter who the group is; the opposition is
ultimately about money. There are trillions at stake.
Donohue takes-in hundreds of millions in payments from multinational
corporations who hold a vested interest in keeping the U.S. manufacturing
economy subservient to China. The U.S. CoC then turns those corporate funds into
lobbyist payments to DC politicians for legislative action that benefits their
Chinese trade deals. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the #1 lobbyist in DC;
there are trillions at stake.
Wall Street's famous CONservative mouthpieces then take their cues from Donohue
and decry any Trump trade policy that might impact their multinational
benefactors.  They hide behind catch phrases like "free trade", or "free
markets".  However, what they are really hiding is the truth, there is no free
market - it is a controlled market.  It's a circle of trade and economic
propaganda driven by the most well known guests that appear on Fox News. Ben
Shapiro is one such example <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwuAc30vs5o> ;
there are hundreds more.



WASHINGTON (Reuters)

The head of the most influential U.S. business lobbying group warned the Trump
administration that unilateral tariffs on Chinese goods could lead to a
destructive trade war that will hurt American consumers and U.S. economic
growth.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said in a statement on
Thursday that such tariffs, associated with a probe of China's intellectual
property practices, would be "damaging taxes on American consumers."
His comments came after White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said that Trump
would in coming weeks get options to address China's "theft and forced transfer"
of American intellectual property as part of the investigation under Section 301
of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974.
Reuters reported on Tuesday that Trump was considering tariffs on up to $60
billion worth of Chinese information technology, telecommunications and consumer
products, along with U.S. investment restrictions for Chinese companies.
Donohue said the Trump administration was right to focus on the negative
economic impact of China's industrial policies and unfair trade practices, but
said tariffs were the wrong approach to dealing with these.
"Tariffs of $30 billion a year would wipe out over a third of the savings
American families received from the doubling of the standard deduction in tax
reform," Donohue said. "If the tariffs reach $60 billion, which has been
rumored, the impact would be even more devastating."
He urged the administration not to proceed with such a plan.
"Tariffs could lead to a destructive trade war with serious consequences for
U.S. economic growth and job creation," hurting consumers, businesses, farmers
and ranchers.
In Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Donohue's comments
were correct, adding that recently more and more American intellectuals had made
their rational voices heard. (read more

So ask yourself, friends and family this very important question:
If prior U.S. trade policies resulted in the export and redistribution of U.S.
wealth... What happens when you reverse the process?
In the answer to that question you discover the opposition to U.S. President
Trump.
When Main Street economic principles are applied Wall Street will initially
lose. There's no way for this not to happen. Most of Wall Street is built on the
Multinational platform of economic globalism. Weaken the grip of the
multinational corporations and financial interests on the U.S. economy and Wall
Street will drop... this is not difficult to predict
