“U.S. Trade Deficit Hits Eight-Month Low as Chinese Imports Drop — The U.S. trade deficit fell to an eight-month low in February as imports from China plunged, suggesting President Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda was starting to bear fruit.”

President Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. Nobody thought it was gonna work. Nobody thought Trump’s sanctions on the ChiComs and all the tariffs — remember the tariffs hit? Oh, my God.
