You think Trump is too stupid to make a sentence correctly?
Donald Trump is a genius. Just watch this interview from the 1980's to see exactly what he is doing today:
Hmm I've been hearing that for years already. Yet India's trade deficit to China continues to grow:
CNBC - India's trade deficit with China nearly triples in a decade
And as a side note, America's trade deficit to China hit yet another record high.
Bloomberg - U.S. Trade Gap Widens Most Since 2015; Record China Deficit
What people don't seem to understand, is that a Current Account Deficit is fundamentally about an imbalance between Savings and Investment. Governments LOVE to boost consumer spending (look at Trump's trillions in tax cuts and massive spending plans) because that tends to be the easiest way to boost GDP growth (and thus employment) in the short-term. However boosting spending means that you are reducing saving.
And if Savings are not enough to cover Investment, the difference needs to be funded from overseas, so a country with a Current Account Deficit is a net borrower.
Donald Trump is not stupid, he understands this very clearly. But doing the right thing (controlling the budget deficit, the trade deficit and the national debt for the long-term health of the economy) does not win votes. Nobody wants to wait 10 years to see a sustainable result if they have another choice. And borrowing is so incredibly easy, when Current Account Surplus countries (net lenders) such as China/Germany/Japan need to balance the Balance of Payments by lending money overseas.
