re: October trade data in: biggest monthly trade deficit in over 10 years

The fact that you and 90proof claim superior intellectual understanding on all things trade yet continue to hammer "trade, tariffs, Trump" as the talking point driving the trade deficit is the definition of intellectual ignorance.

I understand what intellectual honesty is though, which apparently you don't. Intellectual honesty is not being smart, instead its not denying the facts presented to you.

I do agree, the trade deficit is a complicated beast. Maybe trump shouldn't have promised to fix the trade deficit if he can't actually do it?
