Thank you @ChrisMurphyCT! Math is not @realDonaldTrump or my opponent @SteveDaines' strong suit. Same with vote on tax bill. "Calculated" to reduce deficit, resulted in record $1 trillion deficit & trillions added to federal debt. @stevedaines mortgaged America's future. #mtpolhttps://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1205520992329711621 …

Here's some back of the napkin math on China deal:
China agrees to buy $50B of ag products next year, increase of $29B from pre-tariff trade.
Tariffs cost U.S. farmers $11B. Then taxpayers put up $28B in emergency ag payouts.
So...we lost/spent $39B. Gained $29B.
Nice work!
