But the truth is that Trump is blaming the wrong party. Trump\u2019s reckless trade war against China is misguided and amounts to a colossal charade that will not solve the actual problem.  <\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is true that numerous American manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas to China, thereby leaving American workers jobless and suffering. But China did not steal these jobs\u2026  <\/p>\n<p>\u2026So if China is not at fault, then who is to blame for the devastation caused to American workers?  <\/p>\n<p>The answer is plain to see, and it lies within our own shores. The fault belongs squarely with corporate America.  <\/p>\n<p>It was corporate America that made these decisions. Corporate America decided to close their American plants and open new plants in China. Corporate America decided to lay off multitudes of American workers and ruin entire American communities.  <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">The best example of this travesty is Wal-fart, who have given countless US manufacturers a choice between relocating manufacturing overseas and bankruptcy.
