Thanks for proving my point. Not even a stab at a stab at a solution...

You never had a point. There is no magic bullet to eliminate a trade deficit that has been decades in the making.

Trump's tax reforms and rollback of regulations will make American companies more competitive - if he does not continue undercut his own program through tax hikes (increasing the federal excise tax on fuel), amnesty for illegals, big budget deficits, and tariffs. That is my solution but I don't recall ever reading your's. My guess is that it consists of cheerleading Trump's every action and personally attacking anybody who dares criticize him. Am I close?
