108. We've been in a trade war for the past 30 years.
Problem is, we've been losing it.

The corporations that have shipped our jobs overseas and propagandized us into buying more and more and more cheap shit from China (and other nations) and suckered us into energy dependence on Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, etc., have been our traitorous generals. They do not WANT us to "win" this war. They want themselves to be the victors, and we are merely the cannon fodder.

when the U.S. has a vibrant and vital and viable domestic economy, we will not only be ABLE to buy from other countries, but they will be able to buy from us.

Remember, if the only way we can have friends is to buy them, they aren't really our friends.
