In the Newsom interview with Bannon and in many Trump interviews and rants a common complaint is that other countries “have taken advantage” of the US. One thing they never provide are examples. It sounds bad but how have those countries taken advantage of the US? Have they done so by providing cheap labor to US companies and consumers? Is it by being allies that stood by the US through the Cold War and the post 9/11 wars? Yes Europe isn’t buying US made cars but that is not because they take advantage of the US, it is because US made cars are too big and too gas guzzling.
