China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!

He also took aim at the city of Chicago's soaring murder rate, targeting the Windy City's mayor and former chief of staff to President Obama, Rahm Emanuel.
Chicago murder rate is record setting - 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!

On Tuesday, the attacks continued as he slammed General Motors for sending jobs across the border to Mexico.

Since Trump's tweet, General Motors hit back at the president-elect in a statement, saying: "GM builds the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback for global markets in Mexico, with a small number sold in the U.S."
Trump also lambasted Obamacare.
People must remember that ObamaCare just doesn't work, and it is not affordable - 116% increases (Arizona). Bill Clinton called it "CRAZY"

The Democrat Governor.of Minnesota said "The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is no longer affordable!" - And, it is lousy healthcare.
