I'm sorry, but what fucking planet are you living on ?
Basically the exact opposite is true. Everything he touches turns to gold and has been kicking ass since day one of taking office
Liberal moron, pull your head out of your ass and seek therapy for your terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

WE turn the shit to gold. Trump enjoys the ride. Sad to see you are so stupid and insecure to think otherwise. Then again you bailed on America a longtime ago so seriously suck a dick.
When Trump says his country is getting jobbed by other countries he just means they aren't jobbing everyone else.
NAFTA is 24 years old and there was a U.S-Canada agreement before that beginning in the Reagan era. These agreements aren't made lightly by either side whomever is in office.
It's bully tactics that won't win. Smart beats bluster in these cases

US trade deficit with the rest of the world was 566 billion in 2017.
Census provides trade data by country for goods only, not services.
China - $375 billion deficit.
Canada - $18 billion deficit.
Mexico - $71 billion deficit.
Japan - $69 billion deficit.
Germany - $65 billion deficit.
We are not getting jobbed so much as fucked by our "friends." What is wrong with trying to level these numbers? We are the one with the roughly $20 trillion debt. This is what politicians have given us. The business man is trying to fix things.

Martin if you gave one iota of a shit about this country you'd live in it and you'd try to make it better. You lost you're rights to have an opinion about the USA or our POTUS when you ran like a bitch. At least thesidedish is a patriot...
when you have 300 million mostly lazy people this kind of thing happens sorry you only have yourself's to blame for these short comings. tack on a extreme addiction for disposable goods there is bound to be problems and spending hangovers.

We pay a premium for maple syrup because it's good af. Jesus Christ this isn't rocket science. Kidding aside you're acting like Canada doesn't provide us with ridiculous ally benefits. WE ARE ALLIES THAT ACTUALLY PROTECT EACH OTHERS' BORDERS. We wanna go to war, they've got our back. End of story. But hey we also like good music (giving arcade fire a pass here but whatever) and beer and hockey and football....totally worth an imaginary trade deficit. Seriously STFU and focus on something that matters.
Meanwhile Trump literally admitting to saving jobs in China because ZTE needs to be saved....wtf why....pull your head out of your ass.
#1 retard....I am a registered Republican in the state of California and have been a legal resident there my entire life
#2 I voted for Donald Trump precisely because I do care about my country. He is working for the people and shaking up a corrupt system
#3 not sure where this idea comes from that I 'bailed' on the United States came from. I have spent a lot of time in Mexico simply to play on Stars, and I travel the world for a living
#4 you are a liberal faggot so fuck off moron
LOL rum dick tilting like a motherfucker
I can hear him hammering away on his keyboard from here, and I'm halfway around the world right now
Typical libtard crying like a little bitch
Don't worry bro...only 6 1/2 more years to go....hang in there
bro his daughter eyefucked trudeau and thats literally everything you need to know about trump's jihad against Mapleville.

It's historic that Trump and Kim met, and Kim at least paid lip service to denuclearization, so I give Trump a little credit for it. But the triumphalism shown by his supporters is extremely premature. This summit was basically a photo op and a chance for a dictator and an aspiring dictator to stroke each other's egos.
Real, permanent nuclear disarmament by NK will be a long process, and zero details have been worked out yet. It will be the kind of long, complex, technical and diplomatic process involving negotiations and multiple parties, exactly the sort of thing Trump has no patience for. It will probably closely resemble the Iran deal he backed out of. It is also well known that NK has a history of backing out of deals and of dishonesty particularly with regard to its nuclear program. Trump has already candidly stated that if he is wrong about Kim he won't admit to having been wrong but "I'll find some kind of excuse" to avoid taking responsibility.
Kim verbally committed to denuclearization without any discussion of what that actually means and gave up a rocket testing facility he doesn't need anymore, while extracting a significant concession from Trump (no more joint military exercises with South Korea). Kim played Trump.
Nothing real has happened yet, and until it does optimism for disarmament and credit for Trump are unjustified. For the good of the world, I do hope he succeeds.
HILLARY WON
So you rightfully resent being told that your voice means less just because you spend a lot of time outside the country. That being the case do you think it is fair or accurate for you to say the same about me? I am registered to vote in the state of Indiana and have been a legal resident there my entire life.
The problem is, as you mention, services are not included. When all economic activity is included the US has a trade surplus with Canada. Also, trade deficits and the national debt are not related.

Trade deficits are not necessarily as bad as they are made out to be. More data is needed to understand what it really tells us about a trade relationship. Often when there is a trade deficit, the money earned in the trade surplus country flows back into the trade deficit country in the form of investment. Sure enough, foreign cash is flowing into the US as investment. It keeps interest rates low and supports the value of investments like stocks and real estate.
Also, the US dollar is the world's reserve currency. High demand for the dollar drives up its value and makes exports relatively expensive and imports relatively cheap. There are many advantages to issuing the world's reserve currency, including low interest rates, less price volatility of commodities, and economic and political clout. But it does hurt trade balances somewhat. Most economists believe it is natural or even inevitable for the issuer of the world's reserve currency to run trade deficits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma

suck on that Rum fag
a lot of what you said is true except i think trump deserves credit for actually trying something new and for defusing tensions on the korean peninsula. it does seem like the world is a touch safer.
what’s sad is that the media would be positively blowing obama as the savior of mankind if he did what trump is doing. (of course, it’s equally disgusting that fox news would be hammering obama for this.)

"U.S. goods and services trade with Canada totaled an estimated $673.9 billion in 2017. Exports were $341.2 billion; imports were $332.8 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade surplus with Canada was $8.4 billion in 2017."
There are many ways how to count that, so there are different numbers for it. With the total trade at 700ish billion a surplus of less than 10 billion is roughly negligible. It's not so negligible you could say it's a deficit though.
Bout 65% of US trade deficit is with China. How much of that is American companies that have "relocated" their factories to China i don't know. They don't really advertise that much. In case someone doesn't know when American companies sell American products to American customers that are made somewhere else they are considered part of deficit. Trump has done it. Nike currently has 131 factories in China. This has pretty much been how it works since the 90s.
Out of the last 4 presidents Clinton did it and Bush or Obama could have done it whenever they felt like it. The reason why neither Bush or Obama didn't do it because NK didn't make enough concessions to even get the process started. I don't think Trump even asked anything, being the master negotiator he is.a lot of what you said is true except i think trump deserves credit for actually trying something new and for defusing tensions on the korean peninsula. it does seem like the world is a touch safer.

The current agreement is based on the honor system. We need more details, but so far it looks like shit. It doesn't really matter though, since biggest US contribution in this is mostly to try not escalate this out of stupidity. Not sure if that's worthy of an award.
All this is happening because something happened with China-NK relations. I don't know what, but even with the current sanctions China could have kept NK afloat till the end of time. On the UN side China just vetoed every sanction proposal they couldn't circumvent. And on the US side all they need was commercial bank with no official ties to government.
i may be mistaken but i think clinton visited north korea in 2009, during obama’s term, in order to get some prisoners back. again, i might be wrong but i don’t think any sitting president ever met with north korean leadership.Out of the last 4 presidents Clinton did it and Bush or Obama could have done it whenever they felt like it. The reason why neither Bush or Obama didn't do it because NK didn't make enough concessions to even get the process started.

agreed that something prob happened between china-north korea, but you don’t think it’s possible that that “something” was trump putting pressure on china through trade threats?
I can't let the "300 million mostly lazy people" pass because in my experience it's complete bullshit.when you have 300 million mostly lazy people this kind of thing happens sorry you only have yourself's to blame for these short comings. tack on a extreme addiction for disposable goods there is bound to be problems and spending hangovers.
Yup. Americans work their asses off compared with most of the industrialized world.I can't let the "300 million mostly lazy people" pass because in my experience it's complete bullshit.
