line. you say, quote, president trump is doing what years of cheating by chinese nail exporters couldn t do. your argument, sir, is that in this community that helped the president win the white house, 80e electorate voted for the president that he is hurting them and helping china? right. this is a company that has grown doubled its workforce despite the fact that the chinese had been unfairly competing with it. now, we have filed many dumping cases and managed to survive and actually thrive against this chinese competition and competition from other countries as well. after doing all this, the administration comes in and slaps on this tariff and is able to do something that the chinese never were able to do, which is put this company on the brink of extinction. so so save the 500 jobs and get
don t take them on. it s a great company. you did say more than a year ago, mr. president, it is incumbent upon all of us to tone down the divisive political rhetoric, #restorecivility. has he done enough? i think everybody needs to do it. as i mentioned, when the president puts out a tweet i don t like, i ll say it. i think he s a really funny guy and smarter than most people give him credit for. when you re president, it s one thing to fight, it s another thing to punch down. but that is on all sides now. when you have people confronting people in public for eating dinner. we have a right to a political opinion in this country. we have a right to work for the government. is the tone coming from the top? i think no. there s so many bad tones everywhere right now, but that s very different what the president s saying than when maxine waters says confronts everybody in public at a gas
