    Oh you European nerds don’t want to buy American?

    Well guess what. Neither do we!

    And we now get to pay an freaking fine for buying goods from outside of America.

        America sells a ton of services. Netflix, Amazon, Uber, Visa, Mastercard etc. Its possible to cut most out but very difficult to cut it all out in Canada. Perhaps it’s easier in Europe.

        This is the part of the ‘trade deficit’ story he and his supporters intentionally leave out. America has a massive trade surplus when it comes to exporting services.
