Steve Hilton: China’s ‘On the Brink’ of World Domination and ‘Finally We Have a President’ To Stand Up to Them

RUSH EXCERPT:

HILTON: “First of all, Martha, I want to really say what a great thing that you have set up, the story about the tariffs in the way you have with that long-term historical context, to the doctor’s excellent point, I couldn’t agree more. This is an incredibly historical moment we are in and we need to realize that President Trump has done something truly historic and over time, the last 50 years or so that have said look, if we are nice to China, if we opened up to China, if we give them the Olympics, if we overlook their bad behavior and raise it with them behind closed doors, they will change their behavior. That has not happened. Exactly the opposite has happened. They’ve gone further and further towards this goal of world domination. They are on the brink of that now but finally, we have a president, the first western leader, actually, who says no, we are going to challenge you. Using the weapon of economic tariffs, that’s a smart choice. As we seen since he started doing it, it’s been hurting China. But it hasn’t hurt our economy. Our economy is booming. It’s roaring ahead, it’ll continue to do so. Actually, our trade with China, even though it’s important, is a small part of the giant U.S. Economy. We can afford to pursue this for a long time.”
