Is it true, that the trade deficit was higher this year under Trump than in any year under Obama???

That can't be true can it? Since the Trumptards brag on this one thing called the GDP for one quarter

    As long as we continue to import more than we export, there will always be a trade deficit. Obama, Trjmp, Hillary or Oprah, it doesn't matter who is in office. Americans want to earn $25 an hour to watch a machine work, where Chinese convict labor gets a bowl of rice for putting in 18 hour dsys.

    Yes, it is true, but not increasing at the rate it has the previous 8 years under Obama.

    Foreign trade was something Trump promised to balance and has yet to go to work on that.

    The GDP is really a bad indicator and more reflects domestic production, and that is slightly improving for more industry.
