Interestingly, this is not true. Nice example of one of the central analytic pitfalls in this area, confusing net flows with gross ones.
I cannot emphasize enough that increasing foreign investment in the US and shrinking US trade deficits are in direct, irreconcilable tension w/ one another.

Personal note: went to (some) of the countermarch yesterday, and then watched TV coverage of both.
@sundersays.bsky.social is right that the far-right/racists on the main march are a (small) minority whose numbers are not growing.
It's the apparent paralysis of the majority that scares me. [1/n]
