No, my point is it's more likely to increase the trade deficit. Opposite of what the GOP claims
But I doubt they fear trade deficit. Well, maybe Trump does, because he views it as a score card.
I think the GOP welcome it. Because they probably understand economics more than Trump and furthermore, they can use the trade deficit excuse to cut social safety net programs.
Which they have already started doing.

really, trade deficit isn't necessarily a bad sign. Especially when you're dealing with a country whose economic growth is faster than you.

and you want US manufacturing jobs back? Do something about robots, first
