President Trump has now claimed in public a thousand times that current trade deals are unfair to America. How many counter-arguments have you seen in the news? None? #TradeWar

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?

Who cares if we run a trade deficit? He regurgitates stuff, with no explanation. I fail to see the big deal over a trade deficit?

The buying part of the equation is fine. The selling part can always be larger. No one disagrees with that.

"No one disagrees with that". "What is the counter-argument?" "None?" Perhaps Trump and Scott don't agree with Free Trade theory, but pretending none of the rest of us do might just mean he's culling the herd of followers, cultivating Dittoheads.

No one on any team has passed the test of understanding trade "fairness" with Canada. I'm running an experiment to see how many people think they saw the Loch Ness Monster but didn't take a picture.
