“I’m going to leave you with this, okay? If you’re MAGA, if you’re conservative, okay, you don’t like that trade imbalance, right? Because you’ve only ever heard of it from Donald Trump and he doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t want you to understand. I want you to think, just um a test for yourself, an intellectual uh exercise. Why do you think that America might buy more from Canada than Canada buys from America?
“Have you considered the relative populations of our countries [Canada has 1/10 the population—why would you even expect us to buy as much from you as you buy from us?], the relative wealth of our countries? Is it in fact potentially a good sign that America has so much money to throw around on the world stage buying products [or maybe just a sign of their addiction to consumerism] and not actually a sign of either weakness for the United States or that we are being taken advantage of?”
