Why did trump take a big dump on free market capitalism?

[Oddball]

As Charen's analysis accurately notes, Trump foolishly obsessed over the trade deficit. Economists nearly unanimously consider the trade deficit to be a useless statistic for many reasons.

Trump's Trade Deal With China Was an Abject Failure


POLITICS ISN'T THE WEIRD WORSHIP OF ONE DUDE.​

It's not a useless statistic when your "trading partner" is reneging on trade agreements, using slave labor, and artificially jacking with the currency to their favor.

That's neither free not fair trade.

Only a failure if you are a Chinese stooge. It hurt the Chinese so much they attacked the world with a bio weapon.

Funny how every one of these anti Trump whine fests has a goal of helping the chinese.

The US reneges on deals. We use illegal labor and we jack with our currency all the time. Or were you speaking about the US?

 

[Oddball]

We have this weird notion that the only way we can thrive is if other countries do not.

Again, who is this "WE" that you so cavalierly speak for?

Answer the question, fuckwit.

Those who do the very thing they complain about has no moral standing in calling out others.

 

[Oddball]

You understand what I am saying.

I understand that you're trying to speak for everyone, which is as elitist and snobbish as you an get.

More whataboutism.

Where are the slave labor concentration camps in Murica?

I'm stating what the US does. The exact same thing we complain about.

Why did biden take a big dump in his pants while visiting the pope?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

we jack with our currency all the time.

What were the last 3 times we did that?

The Fed does it practically every day.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The Fed does it practically every day.

Our currency isn't fixed. Its value isn't dictated by the Fed.

 

[pknopp]

Our currency isn't fixed. Its value isn't dictated by the Fed.

It's manipulated by the Fed's actions.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

It's manipulated by the Fed's actions.

The dollar moves up, the dollar moves down. The value isn't fixed or controlled by the Fed.

The Chinese currency is fixed. Its value is controlled by the Chinese government.

Pretending our situation is like their situation is silly.

Pretending we do not manipulate our currency is silly.
