No nation is prepared to do business with a nation which cannot be trusted to uphold its own laws, much less international laws. American businesses will be hard pressed to do business and ship our hard earned dollars home to US corporations.
Trump has long had the reputation of never signing a contract he wasn't prepared to tear up. In his first administration, Trump renegotiated all of your trade agreements with your major trading powers. Now he's lying about the 25% increase in your trade deficit since Trump first term trade war with the world.
The figures up to October of 2025 showed a trade deficit in excess of $1,053 billion, and on track to exceed or pass the 2024 trade deficit of $1,204 Billion. The trade deficit was $735 billion in 2016, when Obama left office. That was down from $816,200 in 2008 - W's last year in office.

Now Trump is claiming he's wiped out 70% of your trade deficit in just one year. Looking at the year to October 2025 numbers, none of which have been updated because Trump doesn't like what they say, I'm saying there is no ******* way Trump's figures have any basis in reality.
