/---/ Well "Dude" if it went up one month - you azzclowns would be screaming bloody murder. Now look at the chart, except for one month it went down 4 out of 5 months. Dude - what about that Dude? And it was lower than the forcast Dude./—-/ I know that, but he was right inspite of the stronger dollar the trade deficit is shrinking. United States Balance of Trade | 2019 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast/——/ the strengthening dollar is the cause of the trade deficit rising.Oh my word! How in the world is Trump showing up on these lists?!?! If one can be objective and put aside his abrasive personality and inflated ego, what is the basis for judging him among the worst presidents? The strong economy, the shrinking trade deficit, finally moving our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem (as previous presidents had promised to do but didn't), appointing outstanding conservative legal scholars to the Supreme Court, revitalizing American manufacturing, defending American workers against unfair foreign competition, cutting taxes for our companies, cutting taxes for middle-income Americans, pulling out of the absurdly misguided Iran nuke deal that we now know Iran was egregiously violating, pressuring NATO to finally meet its defense spending obligations, trying to secure our southern border, trying to enforce our immigration laws, etc., etc.?
It is a testament to the left's lack of objectivity and knowledge that liberals here would put Trump on this list.
Shrinking trade deficit?...not a big fan of reality I see.

The U.S. Now Has the Largest Trade Deficit In the History of the Country
I should point out I am not the moron that thinks they are shrinking...that is your fellow Trump zealot
The US trade deficit narrowed to USD 49.4 billion in February 2019, the smallest since June 2018, from USD 51.1 billion in the previous month and compared to market expectations of USD 53.5 billion. Exports surged 1.1 percent while imports rose at a softer 0.2 percent amid ongoing trade negotiations with China.
ohhhh...one month...well that means so much!
Fuck dude, you are getting desperate, even by your standards.
Also, June of 18 was still higher than it was under any any previous president.
