Yes he does play golf, but that's the thing about this President. 
You can have your cake and eat it too when you get things done. 

With Obama he did also golf, but did not get much done and he was in office
for 8 years.

Sure they are and the Chinese are not happy about either, this is also why
they are devaluing their currency again as they have done for years, to try
to counter the tariffs.

Easy. Have these U.S. registered firms make it here in the United States and
there will not be any tariffs. There is many benefits to buying American made
products, no questionable chemicals used, there has been many reports over the
years, everything from toys to pet food causing tragedy w/ fatal results.
Majority of the time Chinese products that are made so cheaply that they do not
last.  We do not need them, they need us.

There will be fairness within the trade deals or they will continue to face
economic ruin which will lead to more despair for the Chinese.
For years past administrations and their clowns within their control allowed
this.

President Trump stands defiant and is not going to allow this nation to be
played like in years gone by.
