‘I didn’t even know’: In speech, Trump boasts that he made up information at Trudeau meeting

[dherd]

TO LAZY FOR EVEN THE SIMPLEST PREPARATION
“... So, he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong, Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid. … And I thought they were smart. I said, ‘You’re wrong, Justin.’ He said, ‘Nope, we have no trade deficit.’ I said, ‘Well, in that case, I feel differently,’ I said, ‘but I don’t believe it.’ I sent one of our guys out, his guy, my guy, they went out, I said, ‘Check, because I can’t believe it.’

ABSOLUTELY NO ETHICS

In response to this story, Trump on Thursday went on Twitter to reiterate his false assertion that the United States has a trade “deficit” with Canada and said it was other countries that refused to accept that such imbalances exist.

YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT IF IT COMES OUT OF TRUMPS MOUTH IT IS A LIE.
STAY OFF THOSE RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA SITES.

Here's how the 2017 trade deficit is calculated:

The US had a deficit of $23.2 billion last year with Canada just in goods -- everything from toys to cars.

But the US had a surplus of $25.9 billion with Canada last year in services -- everything from tourism to technology to health care.

Subtract the goods deficit from the services surplus, and you get an overall US trade surplus of $2.7 billion with Canada.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Thursday that Trump was referencing just trade in goods, as opposed to goods and services.

She defended Trump by citing statistics from the Census Bureau, which uses a different formula to count imports and exports than the Bureau of Economic Analysis uses.

According to the Census Bureau, the United States ran a $17.6 billion deficit with Canada, but it counts only goods.

Trump tends to mention only the goods deficit, which is misleading. The US economy today is much more driven by services: Hospitals, universities, tech companies, banks and so on. Manufacturing, an industry Trump focuses on, makes up about 10% of US economic output

WHAT! NOTHING ELSE TO SAY BIG MOUTH?
