Word on the mainstream media has reached out that President of the United States Donald Trump in his recent Tweet demands that the U.S hits back China and European country in the money manipulation game.
China and Europe playing big currency manipulation game and pumping money into their system in order to compete with USA. We should MATCH, or continue being the dummies who sit back and politely watch as other countries continue to play their games – as they have for many years!
