Comments by "Me andmi" (@629Justme) on "Tracing Trump's Aggressive Tariff Strategy Back to the 1980s | "Trump's Trade War" | FRONTLINE" video.
Trump is repeating an error that is only partially factual. America has a trade deficit with China. Its not because of China. America has a consumerism ethic in parts and has about 10 trillion dollars more to spend than even its second place country China. If we spend more on Chinese stuff, Trump is blaming china for what America created. Shifting blame. Worse, its what is expected if America is really the rich country that it is. Rich spend more on everything in excess. Having a trade deficit shows that. Its not China's fault if it supply's America with the excess it wants.
