Yet many of the president’s critics don’t blame him for this, saying some fluctuations in the trade deficit are largely beyond his control. Several global economic factors explain the widening of the global trade deficit last year. China’s slowdown has…

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday was quick to fire back after President Trump mocked her for not running in 2020. The exchange started with a tweet by Trump: “‘(Crooked) Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third bid for White House.’ Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!” Minutes later, Clinton posted a “Mean Girls” meme on Twitter. The New York Daily News notes her tweet included a GIF…
