Always the same hand that draws the knife, then accuses the wound of hostility.
So let’s speak with clarity.
It was the U.S. that imposed gunboat trade on China in the 19th century—demanding markets at cannonpoint while preaching the gospel of free enterprise.

Trump’s expertise, somehow losing money on casinos and blowing them up
