February 7, 2021: Trade Deficit Worsened Under President Trump

 

2/7/21: Remember when Rejected-President Don said he was going to work out so many great trade deals that we’d all get sick of winning and start vomiting? 

The final numbers, except for January, are in for his presidency. In President Obama’s last year in office, that “loser” couldn’t work any deal-making magic at all. The trade deficit in goods and services was $481 billion. 

Then came Trump! And we did get sick of…what the hell…The deficit in 2020 rose to $679 billion.




 

That means when we consider all the trade deals Reject Don worked out, and all the magic he had in his orange fingertips, the deficit grew by:

 

41.2%.

 

That’s right, Trump fans. It got worse.

SPEAKING OF getting worse: It can be amazing to see how many members of Team Trump like to spend their free time attacking other members of Team Trump, who they believe have proven insufficiently loyal. Today, former White House aide Peter Navarro took a whack at former Attorney General Bill Barr. He blasted Barr for his failure to investigate all of Rejected-President Trump’s political enemies and for not pushing forward his agenda in the dying days of his presidency. 

Navarro labels Barr as Joe Biden’s “first attorney general.” He insists Barr was part of a “deep state coup” to bring down the Orange God.
