You have demonstrated that Free Trade has categorically failed.

It’s supporters cannot prove it works.

If Trade Deficits were a good thing, as the statist Free Traders claim, Africa would be the economic powerhouse on the planet. Instead, most of them still pee and poop in their potable water

Wait, it does work for the stock holders of a few specific corporations, it works to support the ChiComs government, and it supports business school professors that teach this snake oil. Everyone else is a loser - unless you think saving 3 cents on a dollar is worth the social costs of 100 million unemployed.

I believe Nigeria has a trade surplus of billions of dollars. Do you want to move there?

A classic example of non sequitur (no offense!). In the history of mankind, at least the past few millennia, no technological advancement (i.e., that which drives wealth generation) has sprung forth from Africa (perhaps with the exception of S.A. pre-Mandela). N.b., this is not an endorsement of trade deficits. Africa is not an economic powerhouse because it simply lacks the capability of being such, for all its natural treasures.

We must pay higher prices now, because Danny is bad at math!!! LOL!

Less government interference in trade "doesn't work"?

If Trade Deficits were a good thing, as the statist Free Traders claim,

Quick, link to 2 Free Traders who made that claim. Should be easy for you.
