Trump is right

Post by Bobby » Thu Sep 05, 2019 9:22 pm

Look at this graph for world steel production.
We're not even on it!
We produce only 5 million tonnes per annum.

However –
Who produces the most iron ore in the world?

No surprises – it’s Australia.
We are good at digging stuff out of the land but not value adding to it.
China is raping us just as Trump has said.
They make sure they produce steel at a less price and even dump it on
the World markets at below cost to put us out of the steel business.
So much for free trade?

Just look at us -
the greatest iron ore producers in the world
but we're not even on the steel production graph -
go figure?

Our steel industry has been systematically shut down over the last 4 decades. Lead smelters have been shut down and our batteries are almost exclusively made in China. We feel your pain and it feels good to have someone doing something about it, even if he's not perfect.

The silent majority is who elected Trump and we'll do it again next year. Nobody trusts our media or their polls and predictions. We may stay silent, but you'll know us by our actions.

As Trump said -
its the greatest theft in human history.
China has almost shut down 100s of industries
all over the world - they have manipulated currency,
stolen intellectual property, dumped products
at below cost, sold inferior products,
sold illegal and counterfeit products,
have not met basic safety standards as
we have to do -
we've been raped by them.
100s of millions of people have lost their
jobs in western countries.
Why? - the Chinese want it all for themselves-
it's an economic war and we're losing it.

Only Trump is fighting them.

I'd "like" that post if we had the button.
