18. We have a trade deficit of over $500 billion a year

Clearly, this is not just about corn.


Nobody is talking about protectionism or isolationism and the very fact that you need to misrepresent my point of view is proof of how wrong you are.


As I stated earlier, I am in favor of bilateral trade agreements. I am against multilateral trade agreements. Arguing that bilateral trade agreements are somehow protectionist or isolationist is pure nonsense.


The idea that trying to reduce our trade deficit, not completely eliminate it but simply reduce it, would unfairly antagonize our trade partners is also nonsense.


You just don't make any sense on this issue at all.
