Donald Trump says China has been a “ripping us off.“ In my thinking, being “ripped off” is not getting or paying an exorbitant price for a product.
Americans buy from China, Viet Nam, Indonesia, and Mexico because we don’t get ripped off! We get what we pay for! It’s “Economics 101”: The seller whose price is lowest makes the sale. Americans buy Barbie dolls, MAGA caps, and Donald’s Bibles “Made in China” because we can’t meet or beat their price.
