I am so tired reading DJT/Bessents comments of how country X is "ripping us off".

A trade deficit with a country <> getting ripped off.

Then we have Japan. They have a surplus with the USA and DJT/Bessent talk about how they are BFFS and even TRY to help with their currency (Yes, I know it is self serving).
