      The figures provided for partners’ barriers to US trade are pulled from Trump’s fundament. So they’re in no way reciprocal.

    The good thing from all of this is that non-Americans will start to take a more mature and sober view of American society. No offense to sane Americans, it’s not only Trump, he is merely a symptom of broader social problems and an inability to tackle corruption and the cultural influence of oligarchs on the American psyche.

    P.S. I am not American, but I have lived there and have close friends who live there.

      We are grappling with it too.

      America is so much more racist and sexist and jingoistic than I ever imagined, growing up in a small Oregon town.

      I lived in a bubble and so many of us have and still do.
