I usually attribute Trump's bizarre ramblings to either his psychopathic lying or his psychotic delusions, or some combination of the two. But this is just him being an economically illiterate moron.
President Trump Explains Trade Deficits:

“If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars.  So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars”. 

It’s just simple Economics.

The Pentagon has been quietly paying an X influencer as a federal employee since July — and refuses to say what she does. This came out almost by accident, through the "Data Republican" leak story. It's a taxpayer-funded propaganda operation hiding in plain sight. Full breakdown:

Today, I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

It's remarkable that Trump's claim that there are no constraints on his power other than his "own morality"--that he thinks he can govern as a dictator--proved to be a 1-day story, with no follow-up coverage in the New York Times, to whom he said this, or, as far as I can tell, any other newspaper.
