To me Trump's focus on bilateral trade deficits is just daft and highlights his failure to understand anything not corresponding to his simplistic preconceptions.

eg
Country A buys $100 of stuff from country B but sells only $10 to them.​
Country B buys $100 of stuff from country C but sells only $10 to them.​
Country C buys $100 of stuff from country A but sells only $10 to them.​

They all have big bilateral trade deficits but the 3 way system is in balance with no overall surpluses or deficits (ignoring my typo/finger troubles).

It's the trade barriers, not the actual figure. People will decide if they want to buy American if it's available on the shelf, so to speak

Zelensky had an argument refused to kiss Trump's a*se in the oval office in front of the world stage.

Fascinating to watch but really shouldn't have been done on tried to bully and humiliate him front of the press.

Trump patiently waited for 40 mins being amenable for Zelensky to kiss his a*se, but eventually lost his patience. Told him some home truths bollocks about not knowing his place.

Yes I watched it all. Not just the last 10 mins or so which the MSM tried to use as Trump and Vance picked on Zelensky.

The Russian Agent Orange is back to blaming Ukraine for wanting to exist and not liking being invaded.

Sure fire indication that he's looking for some argument with himself to win now that his us against the world trade war is going tits up.

Also getting the Venezuelan president to say that the US can't order the return of the illegally imprisoned US citizen. So that's alright then... Trump just sends anyone he doesn't like to Venezuela, then says "Nothing I can do now!"

Salvadorean president, but otherwise spot on.
