Donald Trump: We Can't Let China "Rape" Our Country
Donald Trump, who launched his presidential campaign by accusing Mexican immigrants of “doing the raping,” once again demonstrated his expertise on the topic while discussing America’s trade relations with China this weekend.
“We can’t continue to allow China to rape our country,” said Trump at a campaign rally on Sunday, adding, “and that’s what they’re doing.”
Luckily, the aspiring SVU agent offered a simple solution to the metaphorical assault that, incidentally, mirrors imagery used in racist propaganda from the 19th Century.
“We’re going to turn it around,” said Trump. “And we have the cards, don’t forget it. We’re like the piggy bank that’s being robbed. We have the cards. We have a lot of power with China.”
In the past, pundits have criticized Trump’s foreign policy as “incoherent,” but on Sunday his message couldn’t be clearer: Like a powerful piggy bank, America will use its cards to turn around the rape.
