23. What News Where These People Watching

The comments that this guy and other Trump supporters make causes me to ask what news programs were they watching during the election campaign. Mr. Gibbs stated he did not realize he would be thrown into a trade war for which he did not ask. A major part of Trump's campaign was that he was going to levy tariffs on China and other countries that maintained trade surpluses with the United States. Mr. Gibbs then stated he did not realize that Trump would demonize the number one customer of the soybean farmers. Another major part of Trump's campaign was demonizing China. How many speeches did Trump give where he did not demonize China? Most of Trump's speeches either demonized China, demonized Hillary Clinton, or demonized Barack Obama.

Are some Trump supporters just trying to gaslight the people who did not vote for Trump in order to get sympathy for themselves? Did people like Mr. Gibbs vote for Trump thinking Trump would not go through on these policies? Did they think China would just give up once Trump was elected and a trade war would not be necessary? I do not see how these people did not see this coming. This is exactly what Trump campaigned on for more than a year.
