How many ‘deals’ has Trump negotiated?
To: ConservativeMind
The “barrier” is just a harmless tax. "Harmless tax" is an oxymoron.
It is far healthier than an income tax.
Abolish the income tax.

Does this mean we’re not getting economically gang banged by most of these hostile corrupt countries?

Dems will say this is proof that Trump is racist.

So far? None.

“So far? None.”
Obviously you are in the dark on this subject ...
To: cba123
knew it wouldn’t be long before one of these showed.
nobody wants to be lied to, but the headline doesn’t say it’s gone or is low, but lowest point in 18 months due to RECORD HIGH exports.
enjoy the direction things are going.

The “trade deficit” is a left wing, big labor stat. The last time we had big surpluses was the Great Depression. Exports are great! So are imports.

“The beginning of the end for Trump!!!”

There is no trade deficit with floating exchange rates.
Only with fixed exchange rates do you have a trade deficit.
Nixon put an end to that when he took us off gold.

The article referred to the decline of the overall trade deficit with all countries.
cba123 referred to the trade deficit with China only, which is increasing.
So the President is right to focus on trade with China.
To: Jim Robinson
Trump understands that the only way to win a war (any kind of war) is to actually fight it with the intent to win it...Bush and company hollered "Shock and awe" and never really delivered - Trump is a nuclear MOAB...
MAGA!!!!
Keep FR great - dust the cobwebs off the wallets and open them for FReedom!!!

To: cba123
You don’t think that exporters are shipping everything they can now so they don’t get caught with merchandise that they have to pay tariffs on do you? If I were exporting to China, that’s exactly what I’d do. Get my stuff over there before China hits it with extra tariffs. That rush to beat the deadline would make the numbers spike.

The Swamp wants it to be as high as it can get to effectively redistribute our American wealth to their “Buddies!”
PDJT is thwarting that! MAGA!
The Swamp is being driven nuts. A beautiful thing.

My dad said once after working at GE for 39 yrs...retired in 1994...”America doesn’t make things anymore, we just push money around”
Well, that is changing. We can replace a lot of what China makes...I didn’t say all...and we won’t poison folks with our raw materials or implant spyware for their government.
