‘If We Didn’t Trade,’ Trump Argues, ‘We’d Save a Hell of a Lot of Money’:
https://reason.com/blog/2018/07/27/if-we-didnt-trade-trump-argues-wed-save?fbclid=IwAR2lGouSXBUNEN_tdI7FZqFU23GfcnAq5s9gN71pdu_uY9GofrrlH_9K60A

() “Our trade deficit ballooned to $817 billion,” Donald Trump said during a speech to steelworkers in Granite City, Illinois, yesterday. “Think of that. We lost $817 billion a year over the last number of years in trade. In other words, if we didn’t trade, we’d save a hell of a lot of money.”

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the president exaggerated the size of the 2017 trade deficit by 48 percent. But that’s a mere quibble compared to his fundamental misunderstanding of what that number means, which in turn reflects a zero-sum view of economic exchange that does not bode well for the outcome of a tariff war supposedly aimed at promoting free trade.

(W.G. Dunlop) US President Donald Trump said Friday he found Saudi Arabia’s explanation about the death of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi credible and termed it an “important first step.”

Trump added if the US takes action, he does not want it to impact arms sales to the kingdom, which said Khashoggi was killed in a fight at its Istanbul consulate. Turkish officials pointed to a state-sanctioned hit.

A Painfully Clueless Pursuit…

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Statist Zombies,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“In 73 years, I’ve not marched for anything, but this president is so bad, here I am.
I was an adult during Jim Crow, the fight for black civil rights, and the war on Vietnam, but didn’t protest until the Cheeto Dictator beat my beloved neoliberal lady”

My Commentary: Ouch.
