With his China Trade Wars tweet yesterday, the Donald has proved once again that he has an uncanny ability to get to the heart of matters….even if by sheer accident!

Yet he’s right. The trade war was “lost many years ago” and it’s the reason Flyover America has rallied to his bluster and bombast on imports and the nefarious practices of furin guberments:

We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S. Now we have a Trade Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with Intellectual Property Theft of another $300 Billion. We cannot let this continue!

But, alas, the “foolish or incompetent people” skewered in the Donald’s 7:22 AM tweet are not some defunct Commerce Department or USTR officials from bygone times.

Nope, it’s not pointy-head trade bureaucrats at all. The actual culprits are the “low interest” men and women…
