Former President Donald Trump said in an economic address Thursday that the U.S. has allowed 'big companies' to 'come in and raid and rape our country.' ''Oh, he used the word 'rape.' That's right. I used the word 'rape,'' Trump said at the Detroit Economic Club after his remarks were met with what sounded like some gasps from the audience. 'They raped our country,' he repeated.
' Trump added that his administration would impose a “tax or tariff” on companies that do not manufacture their goods in the U.S. Trump, who engaged in a trade war with China when he was in office, has made the tax break or tariffs plan the centerpiece of his economic plan. Trump and his company have a long history of making Trump-branded products in countries like China, Indonesia, Turkey and Canada.
