He can get in in the second round to the currency manipulation, the VAT tax, the scams that countries use to say your products aren't clean enough or they may have disease. All of that. But for but for right now, the American people just want to be do unto others as they do to us. And they will back him to the end of the earth when he makes the argument. I am just let it's on autopilot.

The fate is in these people's hands. If China wants to be happy, then just do tariff what we do or I'll go with them on zero tariff. That's a winning argument, but not. Well, Australia had a 19, you know, 2003 little quirk and they stopped beef. That's too intricate right now. Australia has basically zero tariffs. They run a deficit with us. We should not be tariffing them.

Well, traditionally in these trade wars, the country that is running a big surplus is more vulnerable because their industry and their economy has been geared toward mercantilism. And that's true, especially of China.

The second thing is there's going to be a lot of opportunistic countries, Vietnam in particular, that are going to come to us and say, we can do what China is doing to you and we will give you a better deal. We'll have reciprocal tariffs with you. But If you go after China, we're here and they're gonna pop up. It's kind of like musical chairs. If the music goes off, everybody wants a chair.

Once he starts to do these deals, a lot of countries will say, if I don't cut a deal with them, I'll be the last one to get into the American market. And so China is vulnerable in that aspect. They also have 300,000 students here. We don't have hardly any there. They are buying hundreds of thousands of farmland in strategically located places.

The FBI, CIA has estimated that 1%, and that was very generous, of students and people from China on green cards are actively engaged in espionage. That could be 3,000 or 4,000 people. So my point is this, is that they see us as naive and as ripe for exploitation in 360-degree thinking. If Trump gets into a tiff with him, as he is now, he has all sorts— of levers.
