@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook They aren’t reciprocal. What’s wrong with you guys? You know very well that this policy is economic suicide. You’re all free trade!

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook A trade deficit is not theft, @HolmesJosh

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook Josh used to be pretty smart about stuff like this particularly when he worked for Mitch. He talks like an economic illiterate now- maybe afraid of his great leader?

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook pathetic bootlicking.

@ComfortablySmug @HolmesJosh @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook Your analogy falls apart because a trade deficit isn't someone "stealing your shit"

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook Y’all just aren’t very smart

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook Betcha $100 these guys have never heard of the Capital Surplus Inflow in their entire lives. Are we stealing the billions in surplus Capital that flows into the US? You. Are. A. Joke.

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook

@HolmesJosh @ComfortablySmug @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook Stop gaslighting us. Trump is creating massive layoffs and price increases to be paid by us. All of this to give bigger tax breaks for the rich. That’s a fact.
