" US President Donald Trump lashed out at US companies that offshore to China, threatening to curtail federal contracts and even decouple the US economy from Beijing’s, without losses. His feed mysteriously cut to black soon after.

“We lose billions of dollars, and if we didn’t do business with [China], we wouldn’t lose billions of dollars,” the president told reporters at a Monday briefing. “It’s called decoupling, so you’ll start thinking about it,”
Trump continued, without explaining what would happen to the trillion-plus dollars in US debt held by Beijing.

“No country…has ripped us off like China has,” Trump lamented, complaining about the loss of “billions and billions and billions” of dollars to the US’ Asian rival.

The president added that his administration was working on seven “fair trade deals,” complaining the US was being ripped off by friend and foe alike.
He even named some of those wayward “friends,” pointing the finger at Europe and bragging he’d saved American taxpayers billions by making the US’ transatlantic allies pay for NATO. “They rip us off on the military, and they rip us off in the European Union on trade,” Trump marveled. "

Överbefälhavaren tog också upp vad kritiker har kallat hans brutna löften om att " avsluta krigen " och hävdade att " ett kallhjärtat globalistiskt svek efter det andra " hade hindrat honom från att föra amerikanska trupper hem från Syrien efter att ha " besegrat " den Isalmiska stantens terrorgrupp (IS, tidigare ISIS / ISIL).

Medan han argumenterade för att militären var stora Trump-fans hävdade han att det var Pentagon-ledningen som inte gillade honom. " Allt de vill göra är att föra krig " för att mata det militärindustriella odjuret, sade Trump.
