Yes, but we also don't have the $50 billion of goods and services that money would have bought. I don't think he understands this.
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

Oh look, trying to justify a war in the Middle East with lies about weapons of mass destruction. Everything old is new again!
TAPPER: Inflation has gone up bc of the war in Iran & tariffs. So why should the American people not hold Trump & Republicans accountable for this economy?
MIKE JOHNSON: It's not 'Trump's war in Iran.' Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism & they were within weeks of having a nuclear bomb
