Have you seen the professionals he hires?
FWIW it's about time a pOTUS had the gonads to do something about the trade deficit. Kind of like the previous one did something about healthcare. However, things like these cannot be dealt with in the same way as a person who hears a noise in their house late at night, and sits up and fires a thousand rounds randomly in the dark. And the type of person who would do that is eerily similar to Co-conspirator 1.

I don't think we'll ever get away from trade deficits. That's an outcome of a consumerist society. We want stuff.

We needed to do something about the trade deficit and tariffs for sure. However, we didn't immediately need to go nuclear - perhaps taking a decent look and starting small might have been a good idea....

I don't think we'll ever get away from trade deficits. That's an outcome of a consumerist society. We want cheap stuff, so we can have more stuff.FIFY I really don't expect the scales to tilt in the other direction, but something resembling balance would be way more better for our country and it's workers. This is a super complex issue that can't be fixed with a wrecking ball made in China. |

There ain't no fixing it. It's a fact of our prosperity and other countries' growth. We'll always have a trade deficit, we can't make everything here, and we shouldn't.
We should have fair trading agreements, though.

This is a super complex issue that can't be fixed with a wrecking ball made in China. Exactly. And part of the fix is to stop our obsession with having to always have the latest and greatest. How many t-shirts does one person need after all? |

I've been blinded by all the winning.
But I will give Trump his due - I am sick of hearing the word winning.
