Trump on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, 2011/01/20:
These (Chinese) are not our friends. These are our enemies. These are not people that understand niceness. And the only thing you can do, Wolf, to get their attention is to say either we're not going to trade with you any further or, in the alternative, we're going to tax your products as they come into the United States.
BLITZER: You know that a lot of the economists, the free trade experts, say if there were a trade war between the United States and China, it could cause not only a worldwide recession, but a worldwide depression, if these two giant - the number one and number two economic powers in the world - went to war against each other.
TRUMP: No, it will cause a depression in China, not here.
