Interesting Trump Parallel

So while he was running for office, Trump repeatedly stated that China was "raping" America with their trade. But when he talks to China directly, he says that he doesn't blame China, America "let" them do it, so of course they did it.

Hmmmm... that rings familiar somehow.

After posting this, I saw Louis C. had posted virtually the same thing, only better with the actual videos. Not sure of the etiquette, do I delete this?
