“They sell us a lot more than we buy from them.” said Lindsey Graham. I saw this on Digby. Supposedly Graham is supporting Trump’s tarriffs on Chinese goods.
I did a google search and many other sites are reporting this exact language. Many conservative sites. As if it was really buttressing Trump’s arguments.
Nowhere have I seen anyone point out that this quote is nonsensical. I mean literally. Because in fact.
They sell us exactly as much as we buy from them.
This is a tautology.
Thanks
