"I believe that he ambushed China … I just think he wants the best possible deal he can get the United States of America. God bless him for that. That's why people really dig the guy. That's why he's… pic.twitter.com/IU2zwTvD2g
“I believe that he ambushed China. I believe that he suckered the whole world into believing that he was going to go down in this Harakiri, this suicide mission against the world,” Rivera said. “I think with him it’s so much is spontaneous, but I believe it evolved. I mean, Monday, so many people were feeling terrible pain. The markets were tanking. It was no end in sight. People were watching their 401Ks, their IRAs disappear. The whole nation was, I think, trembling over the uncertainty of where we were going with this.”
“He was picking a fight with the entire world,” he continued, admitting he didn’t understand the tactic until witnessing the stock market rally earlier this week.
“This is why Trump is triumphant,” Rivera added. “This is why you can’t beat this guy. China’s been cleaning our clock for a long time, making a lot of money on the U.S. trade in a lot of different ways… Dumping product, not taking ours at all. You know, how many Chevys and Fords and Buicks are riding around in Beijing?”
The former Trump friend said he thought what the president did “was brilliant” and that he feels “sorry for all the people who chickened out and sold out and took major losses.”
Rivera also revealed he thinks Trump is genuinely trying to get “the best possible deal for the United States of America,” saying, “God bless him for that. That’s why people really dig the guy. That’s why he’s hard to beat. That’s why he’s hard to beat. That charisma is unbelievable. I could sing his praises forever.”
He went on, “It just seems to me that this is Trump writ large. This is the guy, the way he does business. He suckered China in. China put their neck way out there. ‘We’re gonna fight you to the end,’ says President Xi. And, guess what? The United States pulls a fast one.”
Trump is winning over his critics with these major economic victories as the controversial tactics he’s put forward begin to bear fruit.
