Let me ask you about adversaries,

because among Trump

supporters is of you,

because Trump is so crude,

so obnoxious, so overbearing,

so insulting.

He must impress the Chinese

no end that

that that kind of

they must look at it and say,

there is one rough tough guy who

we better not fool around with.

And, you know,

Obama was so polite and

George W Bush was so affable.

We didn't

we don't respect them, but,

we can respect this guy

and that the world

that the world now

fears, Donald fears

across Donald Trump.

What is your assessment

of what the adversaries like?

Well, China's laughing okay.

China is,

plays a long game.

They understand that, in,

a trade war

with the United States,

in many ways,

they have the upper hand. Why?

In large part

because they're not a democracy.

And they can withstand

economic pain. Blame them.

Blame it on the United States.

And their people will will eat it.

That's not going to work here

in the United States.

And plus,

China is looking at the

damage that we are doing to,

economies around Asia

and seeing an opportunity

for them to fill a vacuum

in the bilateral,

trade relationship

that, that we've left.

Moreover,

China,

played Trump's game with him

and he said in

Trump said, you know,

we're going to tariff

you this amount.

And China said, okay,

I'll call you and raise you.

And they went back and forth,

and until it got to a crazy,

level.

But the Chinese are

not backing down.

And the Chinese,

moreover, are saying

beyond the trade room,

we've got a whole bunch

of non-trade things

we can do

to make your life miserable,

Donald Trump.

And that's

when they went after rare earths

and a whole bunch of of other,

important,

products, commodities

that we depend on that,

that the China only can provide.
