One of the USA's main power sources is controlling the world reserve currency. This means that every other country imports inflation from the USA, in exchange for delivering vast quantities of useful goods and services to the USA. Without this special status, the USA will have to export as much as it imports.

"Controlling the world reserve currency" and "Having a massive trade deficit" are the same word, since trade deficit is how much stuff other countries sent you without you having to send stuff to them, which is how much currency you sent to those countries. Trump says he wants to eliminate the trade deficit.

if you think the term "women" is only relevant in social science and pop psychology, it begs the question whether you are informed enough to have an opinion worth considering.

[gorpnuts → drawkward]

I like how you used the idiom begs the question correctly and OP didn’t.

Let's be honest: nothing MAGA is based on intellectual rigor.
