The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of spokesman Christian Slater on Attorney General Barr’s desperate attempt to distract from Trump’s embarrassing weakness on China:
“Donald Trump has broken his promise to get tough on China, showing nothing but weakness on the international stage and doing nothing but concede. He struck disastrous deals with the Chinese government while waging a reckless and ineffectual trade war that has hurt our state. After three years of chaos and bluster, Trump has won nothing but empty promises while Michigan workers and farmers were left behind. It’s obvious at this point: Donald Trump has been rolled by China, while John James and Republicans in Michigan stand by his failed leadership. There’s nothing William Barr can do to change that fact.”
