I never said otherwise. The beer is valued at $3. That’s your trade deficit.

Holy shit, no I got the beer, which is valued at 3

That doesn’t matter to the definition of a trade deficit.

What will you say if he does not accept the proposal

an agreement will be made .. he's already stated that he is also trying to get more access for American goods that are being blocked to gain access in their markets .. you really hope he fails to get better trade deals for America don't you ..

I want a good agreement for the USA and all of their citizens. Trump does what is best for him more than the country. Too many of his tariffs are about getting retribution against countries that have pissed him off about many things besides the tariffs. That is why most economists say the way the tariffs were assessed made no sense.
Trump is about using his power for personal gratification than use the power to do what is best for the USA.

The stock market would not be in free fall iof b usinesses thought the tariffs would improve the US economy. Concerned it will increase inflation.

We will see. Don't be a lemming. Have an opened mind whetehr good or bad. No one does all good.

He has done none of those things. Just the opposite.

document your claims

He is the opposite of Robin Hood.

trump made nothing. He was handed millions as a baby. And his bankruptcy records tells you what kind of businessman he is. Now he is trying to bankruptcy the country.

made nothing? He is estimated to be worth $5.5 BILLION dollars

as far as bankrupting the country, you might not of noticed but we are around $37 TRiLLION in debt already.

Trump is actually trying to cut waste, fraud and abuse and try to save some money, the Dems are against that and have been fighting him.

trump made nothing. He was handed millions as a baby. And his bankruptcy records tells you what kind of businessman he is. Now he is trying to bankruptcy the country.

I think his dad who lived modestly as does Warren Buffet gave him around one million dollars. That is pennies compare to a reported 5 Billion that his son has a net worth of.

Trump has suggested he got his start when he obtained a $1 million loan from his father. “My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars,” he told NBC in ...

The amount of products isn’t the issue it’s the value

Wow!

If I export one car for 100 million and import 99 wig it’s for 50 million I’m not in a trade deficit, I have a 50 million surplus because it’s the money not the amount of products that’s counted

Here is a problem for Democrats. To rid them of false ideas as you try to do means they are willing to learn. They are never willing to learn. I was like them for 42 years of my life and it was ME and my desire to learn Truth that converted me to being a Republican. I became very willing to learn and take advice. Democrats heads are harder than steel balls.

You bought the beer from the bar. The bar bought nothing from you.

The bar bought your amount spent and the bar recovered cost and made a profit. The bar gained in fact. People expect that the taste delivers what they want.

We had a saying in selling. Deliver what they want and make a profit.

It is. Ask Hunter. and Joe. I doubt if the latter remembers much and the former may be a bit cloudy on the matter given his drug use.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I don't know if a country has fallen on the world stage this quickly before, starting with Trump's cabinet idiot kids criticizing Europe to their faces.

Now we're dragging down the world economy single-handedly, causing all markets to essentially collapse.

We've gone from Leader of the Free World to International Menace in two freakin' months.

Pure fantasy.

Give Trump money and you can have dinner with him.

I gave his campaign money and got no invite as I am sure millions of others did.

I'll write him and demand a lucrative position with a foreign energy company despite my lack any knowledge of the field, even though I'm not his drug-addled son. I could do with $40K a month and a retroactive pardon in case it's discovered.

If he gives it to me I'll let you know, admit you're right.

Donating to a campaign is a lot different than giving a Trump money.
