Indeed. I suppose Trump is just too much of an attention seeker who wants to be on the front page every day, to do it in a more measured way where it might have gotten him the results he wanted.
But I think that ship has sailed now.
One more sinister version is letting his friends/loyals know ahead of time when he will make some public statement that will trigger large movements in the stock markets, so they can effectively siphon money off from the millions of people who are not in the loop.

I don’t think it blames its huge debt to having trade deficits, however having government debt is like the government subsidizing households, so the government is more or less subsidizing US households to buy Chinese products. Without trade deficit, the situation would be more acceptable.
