Yall should really consider not doing this shite. It's usually hyperbolic and all it does is give the tards a little serotonin hit from the attention they crave.

As planned.

Ive told you for years the only way to achieve trade "parity" is to destroy the dollar.

The issue with your comment is the assumption that lower trade deficits make America better or that they are a sign of America doing better. Typically large trade deficits are a signal that a country is very wealthy with a high standard of living. The inverse means lower trade deficits or trade surplus indicates the opposite.

This is from Investopedia.
A weak dollar does have its drawbacks, which include reduced purchasing power for American consumers and a reduction in trade, which may result in lost jobs and lost tax revenues.

Just like Milton Friedman is a liberal now, right?
There is nothing "in the past" about a scenario where a country is so rich that it has money to buy products from elsewhere, or the efficiencies involved with lower prices on the domestic economy.

Jeebus frickin Christ….on what planet do you reside? Because back here in realityville…
Layoffs are at at the highest level since 2020
Small business bankruptcies are at the highest level in 15 years.
College graduates are facing the toughest job market in almost 20 years.
Job creation has been in the toilet.
The dollar is down almost 10% YOY, which in case you didn’t know, affects the purchasing power of everyday Americans, but makes our exports more attractive.
But muh trade deficit narrowed proves tariffs are working….GTFO with the stupidity

Yes, a weak dollar does mean foreign products will cost more, but that does not necessarily mean that a weak dollar will promote overall reduced purchasing power.
Trade deficits promote, even require, budget deficits. It is no accident that our current account deficit rose 65% from 2019 to 2023 while budget deficit doubled during the same period. The government has to spend to elevate the demand lost by the trade deficit. Doing so is inflationary - and the huge trade deficits (really unsustainable) require more government spending resulting in more inflation. That inflation effects prices that far outstrips any loss of purchasing power for imports.
