The tech companies, as you know, they were very much opposed to the republicans and are very much opposed. Somebody said the other day the election that we had in 2016 with hillary clinton, that it could have cost me anywhere from 2,600 to 2,600,000 votes. May be up to 15 million votes.

Frankly, i dont want france going out and taxing our companies. Very unfair. If they do that, we will be taxing their wine or Something Else like they have never seen before. I dont like it.

She put a call in and i appreciated it very much. Reporter how far are you willing to push china . Pres. Trump china has been hurting our country for 30 years with the money they have been taking out. Other president s should have done something about it, and a long time ago whether it was clinton, or bush, or obama any of them. They should have done something about it, and they didnt. Im doing it. I have no choice, because we are not going to lose close to 1 trillion a year to china. And china understands that. I hope that with president xi, we have a Good Relationship. But they understand, we are not going to do it. This is more important than anything else right now that we are working on. We have to make sure that our taxpayers look, we have helped rebuild china like nobody else. They have done a great job. I dont blame china. I blame our president s, our representatives, past administrations for allowing that to happen. It is a disgrace. Reporter [inaudible] the house will be in order.
