馃嚭馃嚫 Trump:
"We don't need their product. So if we cut off trade with that country, we just made $40 billion.
Do a few countries like that and we become a big money machine."
That's a trade deficit being described as a profit. Which is a hell of a way to run the books.
You don't buy something, and the money you didn't spend shows up in your pocket like a win.
