. Trade deficits have to be understood as inflows of investment to the US economy over its savings rate.

 

Trade deficits are when the USA buys more than it sells.  Nothing to do with net inflows of foreign capital.

Now as to Trump.  Well when Americans display a willingness to pay higher prices for US made good, rather then buying cheaper imports, then jobs will no longer be shipped abroad.

So no Trump CANNOT wave his magic hand (the one which Rubio is obsessed with---homoerotic attraction maybe) and have jobs return to the USA.

What Trump, Sanders, and the other nativist need to study is why Germany, smaller than the USA, exports more industrial products.

All a trade war will bring is retaliation.
