The Trump Slump is killing our economy. Obama built the economy and Trump took it over really in 2018 when his tax policies went into effect. Worst year for investors since 1972 and worst trade deficits.

trade deficits are not abnormal, the opposite would be abnormal for a nation that can print paper in unlimited amounts to pay for not world reserve currency nation's wares.

Also the price tags includes the cost of being the world's police force.
