the money now flows to China our greatest enemy of the future. I'm sure that will help them build more accurate and long range nuclear missiles to destroy us with.

Free trade would allow the Chinese to make lots of money selling things to us. It will also allow us to make lots of money selling things to them. And the best way to prevent war is to encourage business: if we're making lots of money out of each other, what incentive do we have to blow each other up? Mercantilism and protectionism led to constant warfare, why not encourage economic interdependence as a way of keeping peace? It's hard to deny the logic of it. Business-minded people do not generally want to nuke their customers and suppliers.

That will probably pale in comparison to what Hillary will do as Pres in her coming reign of terror.

Last time I looked she was a first-term Senator. Are you making a prophecy here?
