It's not a strawman, it's just the end result of something you said is "rhetoric." Namely, if it's just "rhetoric" then explain how the deficit is so large and how China doesn't try to manipulate trade with the U.S.

No, but certain circumstances have.... lol... guess you didn't read the link.
Possibly not as far as politicians running the economy the way it's always been ran per the rules of politics be it Republican or dimocrat, but the new sheriff is in town and he is not following the "rules" designated by politics and those that expound the failed policies that got our economy into the terrible shape it was in.
The results are speaking for themselves. You can quote and believe in all the "economist theories" you wish, but nothing says anything about the economy but said results.
