Dear maga, The global right, who used to admire Trump, has absolutely turned on him and now is openly saying he works for Russia. The right in Canada has dropped in the polls and now openly distances themselves from you. Same with Germany and UK You suck

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.
