    Seeing as I wasn't replying to anything, it's clear why you'd actually be surprised.

    You are blinded by your own rage over Trump being our president, idiot.

    But the goods deficit with China spiked 29.7% to $26.9 billion in April, as exports to Beijing dropped 24.3% and imports rose 11.6%, according to a Commerce Department report released Thursday.

    Experts said the overall trade gap will likely persist despite policy changes because it is the result of the fact that Americans buy more than they produce, and imports from other countries are needed to make up for the difference.

    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Thank goodness Trump is not ignoring the problem like so many past presidents did.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
