President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that he cannot find a country with which the United States has a trade surplus.

The U.S., in fact, has a merchandise trade surplus with more than half of the countries in the world, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission.

This is one of those issues where Trump's ignorance shines forth to cast a pall on our trade policies.  Oh, but he's a billionaire say his supporters....have you ever earned a billion dollars? In other words shut up and just accept what His Orangeness prates about trade despite virtually all reputable economists opposing restricting trade.  Well, I take that back...he does have the support of that famous, free-market advocate Bernie Sanders.   :whistle:
