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?

And there it is folks, code for "Get used to it, it's the new normal." Sounds like something out of an Obama speech.
Still not a stab at a stab at a solution.nicker:
