Millions of his voters care deeply about the trade deficit.
They do not seem to care at all about the national debt.
Not a good thing, but that appears to be how it is.

The debt crisis is a result of the trade issues. Fixing trade means:
- Lower safety net payments as people go back to work.
- Higher income tax revenues as people go back to work.
- Higher income tax revenues as wages rise.
- Higher tariff revenues.
- Higher corporate tax revenues as more American companies can compete against foreign imports.
- Higher corporate and income tax revenues as more money remains in the American economy and is spent here.

Star Parker is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. She is just responding to the dictates of her corporate paymasters.

The national debt didn’t destroy the middle class in the Midwest, bad trade deals did.

In 2017, we sold $130 billion in product to China and bought $506 billion from them -- a $376 billion trade deficit. Suppose China just decided to stop selling to us and just bought from us? We'd have a $130 billion surplus with them. Would that be good? It would be "good" if those $376 billion in product were made in the US. The American worker would be the beneficiary along with the Treasury.

I don’t know a thing about economics, but it seems that fixing the trade problem would help fix the debt problem.

“We like the low-priced products from China we find in our department stores”
Much of the stuff from China isn’t low-priced.

Millions of his voters care deeply about the trade deficit. They do not seem to care at all about the national debt.
Not a good thing, but that appears to be how it is.
Millions of voters also elected him to make the hard decisions. The trade deficit is not going to have the same impact on our economy as continued trillion dollar annual deficits will.
