His own chart contradicts his tweet regarding β€œa widening trade deficit.” πŸ€”πŸ˜’πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

For years, a widening trade deficit often reflected greater reliance on cheap foreign consumer goods, but the latest figures illuminate what many headlines obscure.

The trailing 12-month goods deficit is 1.6% of GDP when excluding SI-related goods, its lowest reading in records dating back to 1994. When including SI-related goods, it stands at 3.5% of GDP, lower than any reading outside this current Administration since 2010.

Recent import growth has been concentrated in capital goods that support investment and expand our capacity to produce at home, a shift increasingly reflected in stronger output and productivity across the American economy.

a) This is wrong: the 301s (forced labor), 338s (Canada) & 232s (pharma/chips) were recent, and uncertainty is still historically high.
b) His boss literally threatened Mexico ("CARAVANS") this morning.
c) He's openly admitting they made harmful "wide swings" earlier.

a) What is the name for the form of government that dictates who you are allowed to sell your private property to?
b) Should we be worried about China owning 0.03% of U.S. farmland or otherwise investing in the United States?
My two cents: We should have a process that allows the government to screen foreign investment for legitimate security threats. Not blanket bans limiting the property rights of American farmers.

China has NO BUSINESS owning American farmland. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

With roughly 300,000 acres of U.S. farmland under Chinese ownership, including land near our military installations, this is a national security concern we cannot ignore.

Under @POTUS’s leadership, @USDA is working directly with governors across the country to stop future purchases by foreign adversaries and pursue action on land they already own.

Food security IS national security. And protecting American farmland is non-negotiable.
