Donald Trump excitedly posted about America’s widening trade deficit but it wasn’t the win he appeared to think it was
To the world – briefly – of Donald Trump, who’s been posting on Truth Social to which you might think, right, no change there then.
Except in this particular instance the president posted a link to a story about America’s widening trade deficit.

Except it wasn’t the win Trump presumably thought it was, and these people were only too happy to point it out for him.

OMFG!
Trump literally just celebrated a massive increase in our trade deficit.
He doesn’t even know what a “widening of our trade deficit” means. He thinks it means that we are exporting more than we’re importing, which would be good, but it means the exact opposite. pic.twitter.com/9kncmqniFf

Defend this you fucking Maga Morons!
The whole fucking point of the stupid fucking tariffs you defended was to close or narrow the trade deficit.
Now your fucking Moron President is bragging about it being wider. pic.twitter.com/YDVc6BXEgB

Trump doesn't understand what a trade deficit is and everyone that works for him is too afraid to tell him pic.twitter.com/WIGXn0A9wZ

He said his tariffs were to reduce the trade deficit.
Now he’s bragging about it being wider than ever.
He’s a complete and total fraud. pic.twitter.com/aKf7J2Qg4y
