President Trump

[bbsam]

And how's that different from every other major industrialized nation? We just have more people.

No we don't. We have people that buy based on want above need.

And that's different from other consumption based nations how?

Lol. Really?

China is also giving in a bit because of his tough talk. They never gave in to President Namby Pamby.

Trump just bent over and became Xi’s shih tzu, all it took was a military parade.

The reports of Trump’s negotiating skills are greatly exaggerated.

We actually export more than that. I believe the number you're quoting is the actual trade imbalance due to Japanese protectionism. A country with half the population we have send much more our way than we are allowed to send them.

Nope that's what we exported for 2016. We imported maybe double that. But we have more than double their population so it seems more fair than what Drumpf is saying.

You also realize they do try to sell American cars there they have American dealerships they just don't sell because the Japanese people don't want them.

Especially Fords

We imported $130Billion from them, exported $69 Billion. What you aren't seeing is their profits are much higher due to protectionism. They make much more money in our free market vs what we could make in their protected environment.

Dear Lord how much profit we make is not their problem. There just simply isn't the disparity that Drumpf is trying to make it out to be.

reasoning with van is like reasoning with ricky or tieguy. It's impossible

OK, fine, let's practice the same protectionism that they do. If it's good enough for them! Or, they can drop all the tariffs, etc and have a completely free market too. If they're so much better then it won't matter.

Or maybe we can just start manufacturing our own products instead of overseas.

All for it. But what products are being manufactured in Japan instead of here by American companies? You'd still have Japan protecting their market from competition.

And in case you haven't noticed our cars have greatly improved and our pickups are superior.

Obviously, you don't know much about pickup trucks.

I read Truck Trend, used to own a Ford.
