American households go into massive debt in order to consume/buy way over what they can afford, while real wages are close to stagnant since half a century. Same for the government, astronomical debt but you still cut taxes. The US' fiscally inept behavior is directly responsible for some of the largest financial crisis, including 2008, which lead to a massive wealth transfer from workers to owners.

You have a trade deficit, because you're spending more than you can afford to a degree that you crashed the global economy. And have the audacity to say that your allies are taking advantage of you.

The reason nobody has been calling it out, is because financial institutions are licking their fingers from the massive debt Americans accumulate. But everyone knows that the next crash will happen and everyone knows where it will originate from _again_.

Trump is probably right when he repeatedly said that the US in in decline. But what he's doing is shifting the blame to foreigners instead of pointing the finger to where it hurts.
