The best example of the US being shafted on trade comes from this previous year. Under Trump exports have gone up and imports have gone down. Yet, the trade deficit has gone up. 

hmm, where did you get that from? It's self-contradictory, trade deficit is the value imported minus the value exported.

Thanks for calling me out. It forced me to reread the government's report. My brain switched words  like import and export around.

You are right. I knew it didn't make a lot of sense outside of being very shafted on tariffs, which would never be enough to throw it that far off.
