Transcript:
"Do you realize that while most people in this country spend more than they have, people in China earn just a few dollars a day and somehow manage to save fifty percent of their income?" "Added to this is the fact that China is building one of the world's largest manufacturing bases at a time when this country is shipping its manufacturing base overseas." "Meanwhile, as this country spends a huge chunk of its resources building schools and bridges in Iraq, China is undergoing a massive military buildup, even purchasing offensive missiles to be deployed near Taiwan, a nation we're pledged to defend." "I don't mean to be a 'Chicken Little' here, but man, isn't that all a little worrisome?" "Did you see 'The Apprentice' this week?" "Did I? Of COURSE I did!" "I see you're quite concerned." "Dude dude check this out...YA FIRED! HAHAHA!" "No no no lookitme lookitme YA FIRED! HAHAHA!"

Goat has a point. Worse is how the US has outsourced most of its manufacturing to China, so their economic downturn hits us as well. I won’t even start on Donald Chump; is Canada willing to sponsor me as an expat?

Fifteen years later, Pastis’ appreciation of the public’s obliviousness to exactly these specifics about China has finally been elevated by – Trump himself, as President. Perhaps Pastis got the idea from Trump in 2005. Greatest President in history.

GeorgeSteele – I normally say, “The greatest President in modern history” since I don’t know how he would really compare to George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. But, I’ll go along with what you said because I can’t really disagree!!! Now, even after a year of Biden failures, liberals still refuse to admit it. “Oh, his tweets hurt my feelings”. WHO CARES! Look at all he did while in office! Stupid liberals!
