Trump claims a deficit is prima-facia evidence that a deal is unfair. By that argument, when I buy your book, Scott is "unfair" to me. Rich buy more. USA has deficit in coffee and banana purchases. And it's explained everywhere. How did you see "none"?http://time.com/5185673/donald-trump-us-cananda-trade-deficit-surplus/ …

His argument is that we got those deficits partly from bad trade deals. Meaning unfair tariffs and subsidies. What is the counter-argument?

He's wrong. People much smarter than him worked for a long time on an acceptable set of trade deals for different product classes.

That suggests we have an agreement that got agreement. It doesn't suggest fairness.
