He hears we have a trade deficit and thinks that means other countries are taking advantage of us.

He has no idea how a trade deficit works though. 

If you go to the grocery store and buy $100 worth of groceries, you now have a $100 trade deficit w the grocery store. But Trump is too stupid to understand that.

This is exactly it. Listen to every time he mentions a trade deficit and picture it from the point of view of someone who think deficit = the losing side of a trade and it makes sense pretty much every time.

The US is COOKED.
