American companies are outsourcing to Mexico, and China is devaluing its currency while "building fortresses on the South China Sea," Trump said at the rally, proposing to slap a 35 percent tariff on imported products from American companies that have outsourced their jobs and tax China's exports. And if all of that starts a trade war, "who the hell cares?"
"These dummies say, 'Oh, that's a trade war. Trade war? We're losing $500 billion in trade with China. Who the hell cares if there's a trade war? Think of it: $500 billion and they're telling me about a trade war," Trump said, dismissing critics of his positions on trade policy.
He continued, "A lot of you don't know the world of economics and you shouldn't even bother. Just leave it to me, I have so much fun with it. Just go and enjoy your life."
