But see.... Here's the thing -- We don't give a flying **** what the rest of the world thinks.
That's not bravado, that is fact. We don't need them. We don't want them. We do very well without them.
Most of our problems have come from trying to either help or appease the rest of the World. Seriously. WW1, WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Asscrackistan, I-Ran, I-raq..... Hundreds of thousands of American Dead, countless Trillions spent, fortunes ruined, good men twisted and crippled....
And for what? Seriously -- For what? So, ******* dirtbag countries like France, the UK, Germany can look down on us and smile? **** them.
Even today they're still trying to dick us around. The UK imported 18,000 US-Made autos last year while we imported 102,000. We imported 750,000 cars from Germany while they imported only 170,000 of ours.
Between those two, that's over a 600,000 Automobile difference. And the ones we imported were MUCH more expensive than the ones we exported. So that's what -- 3 BILLION Dollars?? Check the zeroes....
Yeah, we had a Trade Surplus with the UK, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Australia but that's about it. And the surplus weren't all that much.
So you know what? **** the rest of the world. Trump is right, if they want to do business with us, it's got to be on OUR Terms or they can pound sand up their asses.
