It has been surging for most of the Trump presidency. He never really cut into it.

Cite the legitimate sources to back that up. I'll be waiting.

This chart does not include the above data. So the drop at the end is the coronavirus induced coma for the economy. You can see the general upward trend.

LMAO, I see NO source of the information.

IF.........that unknown chart is true, then it shows the Trade Deficit has been falling since 2018, contra to what you said.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

It’s from MarketWatch. That’s not what the chart shows at all either. Plus the data that started this thread is official government data.

So what you're saying is that our economy is strong and even with tariffs in place, we are buying a bunch of stuff from foreign markets?

I recently paid 22.00 for a six pack of German beer. That 25% tariff didn't dissuade me. Most of the time, I buy American beer, but this was something special. Fortunately, Trump policy has enough cash in my bank account that I was able to splurge.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

What I’m saying is statistics like these undermine his “im taking it to China” argument.

Glad to hear that Trump's policies which punish the middle class are hopeful to the 20% of Americans at the top of the income bracket. I'm amazed at the fools driving old beat up pickup trucks who support this crazy village idiot. He really hasn't done anything but raise their taxes and limit their choices.

I saw one of these guys with the flags on the pickup trucks down in Texas last week. I asked him how he enjoyed his tax rate increase, if you enjoyed how much more expensive things are at the store. He's just praying on the stupid and the stubborn.

The folks in blue states beg to differ. The elimination of the mortgage interest deduction caused taxes to increase for plenty of middle class folks.
