[DMX7]

Trump, the self-proclaimed business genius, pledged the reduce the trade deficit, and instead he sets the record for the worst ever.

That's in addition to the worst ever fiscal national deficit. And the worst COVID infection count and death total in the world.

Tired of winning yet? :lol

The news is the size of the deficit, not that we simply have one.

its not necessarily a bad thing to have an increased trade deficit

i guess the news is that trump was stupid to promise that he would shrink the deficit through protectionist policies which hurt americans, and that despite all that we still have a trade deficit larger than he came in... but like i said, the deficits themselves arent even necessarily harmful. he's just pretty stupid.
