Trump and his chorus are saying the rest of the World is raping and pillaging the US Economy. Yes, many of the US's imports are from foreign nations, but why is that?
Well, many US industries outsourced their manufacturing to Nation's with cheaper Labour costs. It was to make lots of money 💰 for the US Capitalists.
So the trade inbalance was mostly the US's own fault, not the third world countries where US money looked to for their big profits. Meagre prices to pay for their manufacturing to be sold in the US for hugely inflated prices. Like Nike shoes.

My modest super nest egg has been cracked open dripping $$$$$ into the ether because of one man. One man.

He's an idiot but stock markets have been very expensive.

We have really been due a sell off for ages back to more realistic valuations.

His statement is a classic example of right-wing populists twisting facts to their liking thus showing the ideology of that circle while blaming people with different views for an allegedly ideology-driven policy and decisions. Talking about an alleged "trade deficit" that needs to be reduced, Trump does not say that a) contrary to his view, it is not a negative but is advantageous to the US, and b) he only refers to the trade deficit of industrial goods and ignores the fact that the trade deficit of services is strongly in favour of the US. This is what populists do: telling half truths and relying on factoids.
Don't worry about your nest egg, Terry. As long as you don't need to sell it, it's just book losses. Although part of my portfolio is also slightly in the red, I'm taking advantage of the "political bloodshed" at the stock exchange by both averaging down and going on a shopping spree. There'll be a time after Trump and the tariff war.

Love these. Dictators Putin, Kym Jong, Lucashenko, Erdogan and wanna be Trump look out of place with the other normal world leaders.

I think that's a funny AI clipped together Spoof .🤣 Love it.

Listening to several news views the consensus seems that Trump's brutal and reciprocal tariffs will hurt the US itself the most... King Kong vs Godzilla as China looms over horizons.
Another Rocky Horror Show. 😖
I believe the Devil saved Trump from ... .. that bullet. .. One stupid man!
