Japan, China, and many other countries that Trump says stole jobs buy bonds that help keep America afloat and prosperous.
Foreigners hold about 25-30% of US debt?
Run up debts and then fight with the creditor? Creditor could refuse to buy bonds, maybe demand higher interest.
So, Trump pays attention to the bond market. Last week, stocks went down but bond yields went up (to raise bond sales). Usually bond sales go up when stocks go down.
The US owns many services markets. Such as essential software for designing semiconductors and complicated electronic devices. Exports of software are not included in import-export figures, which are based on goods shipped into and out of countries. Many of these software companies each have revenues of tens of billions of dollars.
Youtube, Facebook? Add them into the import-export figures and a different picture emerges.
The entire service sector, including education, is not included.
When those figures are included, America's trade deficit is not so large.
What a frigging liar and cheat! And still people say they believe what he says. I bet most of his supporters know he lies, but support him because they are anti-social.
Trump seems to be about diverting attention from what he and his bunch are really trying to do. From their nature and past actions, most likely making money and avoiding taxes.
Talk crazy and divert attention to make money and avoid taxes.
3 or 4 times, but no accidents. Car slightly scrapped once by a barrier.
Luckily, my foot fell off the accelerator and the car stopped in all instances ranging from 1am to 5am.
Several cancers and surgeries, two vehicle accidents, diabetes, gall bladder removal, kidney stone removals, high blood pressure, obesity, and must be others. Currently malignant-cancer free, almost normal weight, problem with gall duct, etc. I get checkups for various things two months or so.
Familiar faces dying every year. Only one or more decades left, probably.
Decided to drink alcohol a few times a year. Reunions, mostly. Many friends are very in favor of the decision. Decided to drink and was offered a $1,500 bottle of wine to drink as well as other ones. Wine and spirits collector friend.
Never thought I would experience really fine wine. Friend decided to start drinking his wine and whiskey collections. Told me it was hard to start drinking them but decided to enjoy while he could.
