WTH Is Trump Thinking on China?

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]They've had a lot of land for a long time. Obama did nothing about it. As far as the students, it's 500,000 students. They come good students.

[00:00:10]>> So, they own over 380,000 acres of American farmland. We own zero acres of Chinese farmland. They have over 275,000 students who pledge allegiance to the Communist Chinese Party >> here in our schools. We have less than a thousand. How does that give us an advantage? Speaking of scammers, the Chinese So, let's be really clear about this. People are going, I don't know, there's a moral equipment. Which market is going to be bigger? Which country is going to be the biggest economic force?

[00:00:39]Okay. Uh the Chinese Communist Party, which basically means China as a whole, not the people, but its representation.

[00:00:45]Liars, thieves, tyrants, and uh they want to destroy your country and you if you are in the United States of America.

[00:00:51]Let's start off with that. You understand that? So this makes it all the tougher to uh see President Trump's proposed policies rhetoric. We don't know because nothing is finalized yet and in a positive light at all. It's not very good. We said we're waiting with baited breath to see what happens with China. No president has been tougher on China, but his rhetoric seems to have changed lately. He came back and discussed with Sean Hannity a few major issues as it relates to China and I don't really know that President Trump in representing his constituency and being America first on this one. I don't know how he could be more wrong uh and if it's possible not by much.

[00:01:37]So first let's address this issue that we've discussed quite a bit uh farmland and the Chinese buying our farmland therein. The issue of Chinese students in our universities, more importantly in my mind is that Chinese nationals have been buying up thousands and thousands of acres of farmland, ranch land, and land near military installations. Now, I would assume I'm in Beijing. If I wanted to buy property near one of their military installations, >> I don't think President would I don't.

[00:02:14]Look, it's not that I love it. You want to see farm prices drop. You want to see farmers lose a lot of money. Just take that out of the market. But they've had a lot of land for a long time. Obama did nothing about it. They bought a lot of it during the Obama administration.

[00:02:33]He did nothing about it.

[00:02:36]>> Yeah. And so what are you going to do?

[00:02:38]And it sounds like nothing. And I'd like to present to you uh you know something that maybe sounds reasonable in theory but how it is played out in in real time. I present to you the final act the screwig cuz little bits of myself are left in a box under the stage every time.

[00:02:57]So remember I've told you in the past, hey look at what the opposing side is saying or what they're doing and that'll give you a pretty good idea as to what their strategy is. Let's look at Chinese ownership of farmland in the United States. It's like 380,000 acres somewhere around there. You can check the references. Our ownership of Chinese land, uh, zero acres.

[00:03:20]>> Oo, that's not good numbers.

[00:03:22]>> No, >> we got to pump those up.

[00:03:23]>> 380,000 to zero.

[00:03:26]Why do you think that is?

[00:03:32]Now the Chinese are also very very clear in the United States is this awful place that will fall and it needs to crumble for cry out loud. They release troll videos. So they want us to do poorly, right? That is their goal. So most of their policies would be what they view as most effective to ensure a poor outcome for the United States. They let us buy zero acres.

[00:03:56]Why do we let them have any? Now I understand the point that I think he's making there. doesn't make this argument uh any more valid. Yeah, I guess if you just took it from the Chinese 380,000 acres and that was up for grabs, of course, you've just increased the supply. So, uh the demand would go down and prices would go down. And maybe it's not so much that he's beholden to the Chinese, but he's more beholden to the farming lobby, which by the way, in this country, they are not your friends. You think that the big farming lobby, this is why we say APEC can go screw themselves, but you need to be aware of other lobbying groups and organizations like unions, particularly teachers, particularly public workers unions, the farming lobby screws you a lot. And they screw you a lot through policies that fundamentally transform the economy, like we've discussed, corn subsidies, and it's like a third rail because it's such a big deal in government. Here's what is certain. None of this makes sense. None of this is good for you, the American worker.

[00:04:50]>> Right?

[00:04:51]>> When we're talking about American America first, we're talking about you, the American taxpayer, who wants to be able to determine your own future and destiny. This is bad. They shouldn't be allowed to own land. And if it's because of the farming lobby, they shouldn't have the influence that they do.

[00:05:05]>> Yeah. And he needs to do something about it other than say Obama, right? And I I think you maybe even mentioned that, but I want to just come back to it because I don't expect him to completely undo the past. I don't have expectations of him that are outside of his scope of authority and abilities, right? But I do expect him to kind of step up and go, "Hey, we got to stop this. This can't be something that we do going forward." And by the way, it wouldn't be very hard if you decided to take a stand on this and pull those 384,000 acres back to just say, "Hey, we'll do it and then we will put it on the market over a period of time so that we don't cause a crash in the market." Right?

[00:05:36]>> It's not like you have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. We should never have let it happen in the first place. Fine. How about fix it? You're in the chair. Yeah.

[00:05:42]>> Yeah. Some of that land is close to military installations. If it if it, you know, butts up to it, maybe you just annex that.

[00:05:49]>> Yep.

[00:05:49]>> And then you don't have extra farmland uh to worry about the market or like Gerald said, over time.

[00:05:54]>> Well, I will tell you this. This is one where it gives critics of this administration, they have a point, and I think this is far more meaningful uh and impactful than the Epstein binder roll out, which was absolutely abysmal. But on a grand scale, this really does determine our direction in the future.

[00:06:11]Uh okay, here we go to China specifically on uh President Trump. He was discussing with Shangharding Chinese exchange students.

[00:06:20]>> As far as the students, it's 500,000 students. They come good students. Uh I could tell them I don't want any students.

[00:06:31]>> Yes. Yes.

[00:06:32]>> Is a very insulting thing to say country.

[00:06:35]>> Okay.

[00:06:36]>> They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China.

[00:06:41]But if you don't have those students, good students by the way, if you don't and and we do another thing, you know, if they're good and they want to stay in America, we we won't give them a green card and things like that. Um, you know, I and that not only them but other other countries, >> but if you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out of it. And you know the ones that I can only get to the top schools, the top schools will do fine, but your lower schools, your lower >> uh the ones that don't do quite as well, those two, they'll be dying all over the place.

[00:07:14]>> Um I frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture and many of them want to stay here. I think it's good.

[00:07:23]>> Um not everybody agrees with me and it doesn't sound like a very conservative position >> and I'm as conservative. I'm a conservative guy. I'm I'm not a common sense guy. I think more than a conservative guy. I think MAGA is common sense, you know.

[00:07:38]>> So, let me before I get to it. What's common sense about allowing Chinese students to come here, get an education?

[00:07:44]Here's the thing. Many of them go back.

[00:07:47]Just be clear. Most of them uh depending on the numbers you use go back. And if they don't and they stay here, how can you trust them?

[00:07:56]And then the let's go all let's walk all the way down the trail that he presents.

[00:07:59]And many of the universities will close down. Good. If the universities require students approved by the Communist Chinese Party to come here and through any form of subsidy uh to stay afloat, they should go away.

[00:08:14]>> They should never been there.

[00:08:15]>> They shouldn't be there. How about that?

[00:08:17]And that that's where we now get to the endgame, the screwige, because we've been here for a long time.

[00:08:25]Every single Chinese student in the United States is approved by the Communist Party. You know that, right?

[00:08:31]Also, those who are sent to bang Eric Swallwell allegedly and the students who are on any kind of government scholarships, they sign a pledge of loyalty to the Communist Chinese Party. And we've seen huge problems with those people acting as spies here in the United States being used to give leverage to the Communist Chinese Party. Let me give you the numbers, too. So, the Chinese students in the United States right now, by the way, these trends have uh they've been consistent. They've been going up for Chinese in the US and us there are going down. But right now it sits at around 275,000 Chinese students in the United States.

[00:09:06]You know how many American students in China?

[00:09:09]Less than a thousand.

[00:09:12]>> So when he says you take 500 thou you take half a million people out of that industry, of course it's going to crumble. We're not taking 500,000 people out of that industry.

[00:09:19]>> Yeah.

[00:09:20]>> There's not half a million people in that industry.

[00:09:22]>> Not right now. It's >> 277,000.

[00:09:24]>> Yeah. About 27.

[00:09:24]>> He wants to add he wants to double that.

[00:09:26]that's the way that it would come across and he's been unclear with his words.

[00:09:29]This was a I would say arguably amongst the worst interviews that he's given.

[00:09:34]>> Yeah. And listen, it's if you had people coming from a country say like England wanted to send some people over to to us or France or places like that that are a little bit more closely aligned with kind of our values and ideals or something like that. Yeah, that's a different conversation to have. But when you've got a country that is absolutely 100% dead set against us and they are trying everything that they can do with land purchases, everything else with rare earths, all of it, their influence is how they get a foothold. Why would you? And he's like, "Oh, well, they'll go build their own universities." Fan freakingastic. Guess what? Maybe that's money they're not spending on their military >> and something that we won't have to deal with in the future potentially.

[00:10:08]>> Oh, great. Team U.

[00:10:10]>> Yeah.

[00:10:11]>> A real big threat to the Ivy Leagues in America.

[00:10:13]>> Yeah. So, screw yourselves. I I just I this one I just cannot I it it boggles my mind that he's even on this page.

[00:10:19]Yeah. So they own over 380,000 acres of American farmland. We own zero acres of Chinese farmland. They have over 275,000 students who pledge allegiance to the Communist Chinese Party here in our schools. We have less than a thousand. How does that give us an advantage? Can anyone make the case? I'm sure there's some libertarian there who's like I don't believe in borders.

[00:10:43]Good. Go ahead and make the case. Yeah.

[00:10:44]>> Make the case so it sounds just as stupid to everyone else in the comments section as it does in the way I just said it.

[00:10:50]>> Yeah. It's not like they're over here building our railroads.

[00:10:53]>> Not anymore.

[00:10:54]>> No, they're taking all these student positions.

[00:10:57]>> Although, you know what? You could bring back a couple of opium dens little little safer than fentanyl. Now, let's go to trade. And this is one where President Trump has been stronger in the past, but it seems like he may not be going that direction. Again, some of this is speculation because we don't know the official policy. The rhetoric isn't good. They're talking about trade deals supposedly being secured from their meeting there in Beijing.

[00:11:24]>> New trade promises are emerging from a pivotal summit with President Chinese President Xiinping.

[00:11:30]>> Here's what that looks like, at least so far. China agreeing to buy 200 Boeing jets. Beijing is also expected to commit 10 billion dollar for American agriculture products with a new board of trade to help oversee tariffs. Uhhuh. So even if that happened to be true, um I still don't see the benefit in the same way to the American worker. I know some say well bigger markets really China's an export market. It's not really an import market. Not enough to move the needle in the way that you would think.

[00:12:02]Which brings us to the if it happened to be true. No, no, no. Here's the screwstige.

[00:12:09]We've been here before. It didn't happen. So from 2020 2021, China committed to buying over 500 billion dollars worth of exports from the United States. They only bought 58% of what they promised. And by the way, people say, "Oh, that was because of CO." No, they were still around, I think, 55%.

[00:12:24]Precoid, postcoid. They don't meet their obligations. The chi, the Chinese, they are a nation of liars. You understand that, right? When dealing with their government, their primary goal is to subvert American culture and for us or for them to ensure that we are no longer the world's economic superpower.

[00:12:43]And we've really enabled it. They went from a chachki economy to a potential adversary.

[00:12:49]>> Yes.

[00:12:49]>> In the technology race. That doesn't happen without us propping them up.

[00:12:56]This is all concerning, especially considering that before his trip, he got some advice from a former president on how to deal with China.

[00:13:06]Here's some advice.

[00:13:08]When dealing with the Chinese, they're like a dog whose bark is worse than their bite.

[00:13:14]But here's the thing about the Chinese.

[00:13:17]They eat the dogs.

[00:13:20]Isn't that silly? Like they never heard of a hot dog. Well, I guess that is their version of a hot dog. But anyways, I'm 75. I found that if you ignore the Kabooi theater, the intimidation disappears. And that the China man are very physically small in stature and their asses are surprisingly easy to kick.

[00:13:45]>> Here's some advice.

[00:13:47]>> That was good. He should have taken some of that.

[00:13:49]>> Should Yeah, >> it would have been nice for us to see.

[00:13:51]So, with with I'm not going to pivot to AI, I promise. But with everything going on in robotics and AI, it seems like that's really the only people. No, I I that's the only thing I'm going to mention on it. It seems like we just sent CEOs from those companies that stand to benefit the most >> from that and from working with China instead of sending some of the China.

[00:14:08]Hawk Lane was talking about this uh earlier. We didn't send some people that were a little tougher on China. And so, the DE was kind of cast a little bit from the beginning. And the trade deals that they announced were very hoham.

[00:14:18]Like nobody looked at these and said, "Oh, good." Because we can hold their feet to the fire when they don't do what they said. There's no leverage really that we're willing to exercise on China to get this done. We have leverage.

[00:14:29]We're just not willing to exercise it.

[00:14:30]And on the student thing, just a final point, like I don't understand how you don't see this as president of the United States. When you have that many people coming in, it increases demand.

[00:14:39]When the demand goes up, the pricing tends to go up with it. Especially if you're saying these are very smart students. And then you couple that with Elon Musk saying, "We don't have people trained in this." I wonder why. I wonder why. You're taking up hundreds of thousands of spots every single year, pushing prices up and telling people that they have to go to the lower colleges. And you're not just saying like, "Oh, these people are coming in and filling the lower colleges." You're saying they're the best and brightest to compete with Americans and that we don't produce the kind of people that we need to. Well, maybe if college was a little less expensive and maybe if they didn't just check the box on, well, this is a smart person from China and push the American student out of the way, maybe it would look a little different. What would it look like right now if this policy had been reversed years ago?

[00:15:20]China would have had to build their own institutions or flood the UK or somewhere else.

[00:15:23]>> I'll tell you what this would look like if that's if that policy had been reversed uh or never enacted, right?

[00:15:29]let's say and no affirmative action colleges would be very white Asian-Americans a lot of course been to Cali I mean they have they don't have drug dealers they have Jins Singh dealers it's like it is >> but Asian-Americans would do well and so would white Americans no DEI no affirmative action and we're not allowing people from adversarial nations >> it would look very similar to how college has looked in the past that would be the natural order of things.

[00:15:58]And I know you say, "Oh, some people don't have opportunities." No, no, no.

[00:16:01]Public schools. Public schools. Far more spending per pupil in areas where black Americans are over represented.

[00:16:09]>> That playing field has been leveled, by the way. It it it should be leveled completely uh in that we should do away with it and let's us say apply a student voucher program if anything. But yeah, that's what it would look like. Yeah, >> we can't do that. All of this has been done. And then you know what else? It would be less expensive if you couldn't afford it and if you weren't willing to wake work your way through it, there wouldn't be a grant. There wouldn't be a scholarship.

[00:16:32]>> So, they would have to charge a reasonable price or they would go out of business. When you talk about industries that you hate, they have been propped up by special interest groups. And this is this is why the conversation regarding Apac that people have and I've said they can go screw themselves with a wire brush, but it does take your eye off of what truly affects you on a day-to-day basis. If you look at education, specifically college, I mean skyrocketing costs.

[00:17:00]They've ballooned out of control. If you look at the health care sector, you look at insurance companies, you look, for example, at American auto manufacturing and airlines, guess what? You look at energy, these are all companies that are heavily subsidized and have been propped up on behalf of special interests. And by that I mean special interests, not representing the vast majority of Americans. You are not represented by the American Auto Workers Union. Do you have any idea how much pole they have over the government? You are not represented by any of the unions or the lobbyists for airlines. But do you have any idea how much poll they have? You are not represented by any of the teachers unions or by any of the lobbying groups for higher education. Do you have any idea how much pull they have? Same thing with insurance companies. And so when you're looking at education, just as an example, you have the interests of course in public schools before that of teachers unions of all kinds of educational unions. You look at the administrative costs, how they ballooned out of control. Then you look at colleges, by the way, who of course get all kinds of grants and subsidies and so they make it unaffordable. and you have student loan forgiveness and then you look at the vested interest of a foreign nation like China and they have been pushed to get more exchange students in and you have a government that says sure let's let's give you more money more grants more scholarships let's make sure that you have some kind of relief if you're financially struggling and yeah you know what let's do this because it'll improve relations with China think about oh banks I forgot banks have you tried to bank do any significant banking like with I don't know bank of America Chase take you know the McDonald's of banks >> they don't want people who are actually looking to grow their money. Their business model, the reason that you will be on the phone with someone from New Delhi for 8 hours is because their model is improve, screw the customer, and get a bailout eventually.

[00:18:55]It's the same thing with education, insurance, airlines, American auto manufacturing, big banks, the industries that you hate. These are not bastions of unregulated freedom. It's not the wild west of big banking. It's not the wild west of higher education. And people keep pointing to them and go, "We need more government."

[00:19:15]More government means more so in the pockets of these big unions and special lobbying groups. And there are many of them. None of this is in the best interest of you, the American worker taxpayer. the average American who doesn't work for the federal government, who doesn't have a public job, but works in the private sector, pays taxes, and is trying to raise a family. These other industries are designed to lobby the government to fleece you all those all those industries that I've just mentioned, that is why your quality of life perhaps has gone down in those facets. Those are the areas. Now, the areas where your your quality of life has improved. And this is the argument that I see are people keep missing each other, housing, of course. People keep missing each other. We have young people going, "It's terrible. There's there's no opportunity. Thanks, boomers." And then boomers going, "Well, why don't you pull yourself up by your bootstraps?"

[00:20:07]And actually, you guys have air conditioning and bigger house and more square footers. Both of those things are true. But if you look for example where costs have gone down, technology for example, food, access to more food, access to healthier food, in some cases transportation, right? These are technological advances. These are not the same as the systemic problems that younger people face in housing, in education, in banking, and what loans look like and the ability to generate enough capital to invest.

[00:20:42]If so, the solution is, hey, we see progress. For example, people often point to a phone or a flat screen TV.

[00:20:48]It's far less expensive now than it was 15, 20 years ago. That's absolutely true. That's the natural advancement of a free market. Can we apply that to education? Can we apply that to health insurance and our currently broken system? Can we apply that to airlines?

[00:21:07]Just apply the approach in industries where it works and you've seen an improvement in quality of life to the areas where we've seen the opposite. And instead the solution is more money, please, more money, please, more money, please. But once you do that and the industry is too big to be supported by an actual consumer base here in the United States, >> foreign government's going to help or some big ass lobbying groups. Does that make sense? President Trump has been tougher on China than any other president. Like I've said, that's true.

[00:21:34]>> But this does not seem like he's going the right direction. It's also why I've said in the past and why he won't be on the show and won't ever uh post any of our stuff. Elon Musk did a great thing by purchasing X. He also might be the Antichrist. Now, probably not because people overuse that. That's hyperbole.

[00:21:48]But if you look at his stance on China, and you look at his stance on H-1Bs, and you look at his stance on issues that would fundamentally harm and transform America, they're not great. He's he's cool on freedom of speech and trans and kids. The rest of it, a lot of damage would be done if Elon Musk had his way and he was there.

[00:22:08]So what do we get out of this with China? That's really the question, right? America first means what do you get?

[00:22:15]What do you get by us allowing Chinese to purchase farmland? Can anyone answer that to me? What do you get by us allowing more Chinese exchange students coming here? What do you get? Can anyone answer? What do you get if they even though to come here they have to pledge allegiance to the communist Chinese party. They come here and they defect and they become a part of the workforce.

[00:22:34]What do you get out of it?

[00:22:36]What do we get if they purchase 50% of the exports from the United States? Like you just saw agricultural products. What do you get?

[00:22:45]Are they Do we have any answers? Are they going to help us reopen the Straight of Hormuz? Are they still part of the unholy alliance with Russia and Iran, the part that we don't say out loud?

[00:22:54]It does make it pretty tough to make the case that when you look at Venezuela and you look at what we've done with energy, and you look at what's happening with Iran, that all of this was triangulating China, his rhetoric on Cuba, when it just seems like we go, "Yeah, yeah, we're just going to keep on doing what we're doing and maybe be a little more lenient."

[00:23:10]I'd love to have anyone from the administration on to answer this because I think we've been fair and I'm certainly not going to vote Democrat.

[00:23:18]I'm procluded from that.

[00:23:20]>> Right.

[00:23:20]>> But this direction, hey, guess what? Critics, not leftist critics. Those on the right have a point if you keep going this direction.

[00:23:30]>> Yeah. And I think you you made the the right kind of split here. It's rhetoric versus action. So the rhetoric is all we have right now in some of this not looking great. what he actually ends up doing. We'll see because maybe there's some other stuff going on behind the scenes trying to figure out right now and they've got a lot of leverage points and they don't want to do anything to make the Chinese lose face in the midst of that. I have no idea. Say it correctly. Charitable Chinese.

[00:23:52]>> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:23:54]>> They don't I don't tolerate China. China is >> that guy gets it. He's understood it for a very long time.

[00:24:00]>> He should be our ambassador.

[00:24:01]>> He is. He's just in jail >> and he should be shot collared unless he says only that phrase >> forever. What would you like for lunch today?

[00:24:08]>> It's like Marcus Aurelius had one of his, I believe it was one of his servants or adviserss lean into his ear and every day he would consistently say, "You are just a man. You are just a man.

[00:24:17]You are just a man." To remind him, right, as an emperor, President Trump needs that in his meetings with China.

[00:24:23]Just every every couple of minutes that man to lean into his ear, don't trust China. Don't trust China. China is And go back, fade back into the mist every day.

[00:24:34]>> Thank you.

[00:24:34]>> Don't trust China. China is Hope.

[00:24:38]>> Thank you. I needed that.

[00:24:40]>> Appreciate that. That's right. Screw you, she.

[00:24:43]>> Upon further reflection, she I have been reminded that you are in fact an And uh how about no deal?

[00:24:53]YouTube's is something you're not allowed to say according to the guidelines. I was quoting the guidelines. I'm glad you're still here. It means you watch this video all the way through. Oh, it says here that Rumble, where you can go follow my channel, lets you say pretty much anything, provided it's not illegal. That reminds me of um what does it remind me of? Oh, yeah. Yeah. YouTube pre205.

[00:25:23]Go on and follow me there. I'm live Eastern, weekdays.

[00:25:30]Don't call YouTube a Oh, that's just a different way of saying it's
