Donald Trump is not winning the trade war ... he is trashing brand America and alliances

[Denizen]

Donald Trump's bullshit and braggadocio about trade do not withstand fact-checking as the trade balance is widening further under Donald Trump's leadership.

If indeed there is any reduction in the trade balance it is solely due to the growth of US oil and gas exports which is masking the continuing problems with US export of goods and services.

Donald Trump is incompetent and is leading the US in the wrong direction and isolationism.

Donald Trump, the casino bankrupt, is gambling with the USA's future and the house is losing.

Will the bankruptcy expert Donald Trump lose his shirt and Uncle Sam's house?

Trump boasts the US economy is the best it's ever been under his watch. Here are 9 charts showing how it compares to the Obama and Bush presidencies. | Markets Insider

It's about jobs and national security. Jobs are such a win/win across all metrics that Trump has pushed to ensure it happens, and the stock market is rising due to consumption. Consumption and competition for this consumption, drives capitalism.

You have wage growth, job growth and GDP growth, while you also had rate increase. Just looking at this chart, I would guess any imbalance is because foreign nations aren't consuming. Domestically it appears you are doing well. Part of the reason America is pushing for fair trade with other nations is your businesses are being undermined by foreign nations via tariffs, subsidies to their companies and other barriers.

I know first hand how Canada does it. You can be sure the EU, and to the worst degree, China, is doing it.

You are clearly one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent posters on this board, and I appreciate your input.

Canada is so insignificant it is surprising it even bothers to attempt an international voice.

Canada has one of the weakest military forces in the developed world. Probably couldn't even defeat Timbuktu without American support.

Talk about smacking a dude when he's down. I know, I live here.

Our troops are as hearty and courageous as any. We simply don't support them as financially as we should. It bothers me too I assure you.

Canadas problem is a central control that ensures politicians look after themselves, which means looking after a covert kakistocracy that exploits the system. "You scratch my back I'll scratch yours". The biggest losers in any system that lacks accountability is the common man. Our most talented figure this out early and get out early.

At least your politicians don't borrow money to give away, or waste on endless wars.
Canada's National Debt is $768b and the US has $23T.
I'd say Canada is more fiscally responsible than the US.

We have 35M citizens, we have the most personal non-mortgage debt on earth, highest overpriced homes and little to no accountability. It cost $3.25 for a carton of medium eggs now, $1.16 per litre of gas and we ship our oil to you to be refined because we are too incompetent.

The biggest difference is our use of government. It's been weaponized against us for 150 years at all levels.

I hate to see a grown man cry, even if he is a Canadian.

Canada ranks 7th on the personal debt list as a percentage of GDP.

Please don't thank me.

Oh thank you. You can thank me though. From a real source, the World Economic Forum, there's even a pretty chart too.

This debt is only part of the problem, our cost of living is excessive. On top of a lack of civil liberties, due process, rule of law. In short, we are the new East Germany.
