Good Thing Trump Isn't Basing His Actions on Flagrantly False Numbers...oh wait a minute...

US trade deficit with China is less than $300 billion, not $1 trillion, as Donald Trump said

"Last year, China made $1 trillion off trade with the United States. That’s not right."

Trump repeated the $1 trillion figure five times over the week, describing it as both a "surplus" for China and a loss or "deficit" for the U.S. 

China did not make $1 trillion off trade with the United States in 2024.

Actually in Trade In Goods the US deficit was $295 billion

In Goods and Services it was $264 billion

 

Of course, he's the same clown who said Canada repeatedly claimed that Canada had a $200 billion surplus in trade with the US

And actually it was $65 billion.

Another day. Another Trump topic.

Proof ?

 

The link is now inserted into my post, so enjoy.

 

PS. Thank you for the photo of President Biden, but why add it? Do you miss him that much? I certainly do. To think that it was only a few months ago that a troupe of clowns infested the WH. Feels like years already.

You should ask your maga pals, since they are clearly ripped a new one for voting Trump. Unfortunately, the maga crowd are the only ones that don't see it yet.

Even after losing the election the Trump haters still gotta hate.

 

It's in their DNA.  Impossible to remove.

 

Same same for Musk,

 

Two independent entrepreneurs.

 

But the liberals love career politicians.

Typical right wing response. Attack the messenger.

Also the same clown who said the EU had a $380 billion surplus...

Where did you get the idea a businessman who managed to bankrupt three casinos and a slew of his own branded products could run a country?

 

Casinos are places where people line up to give you money. Going broke on three of them takes exceptional stupidity.

 

It's in the DNA of intelligent people to have advanced BS meters. Obviously, you don't.
