Obviously Brazil, China, Japan and the EU agree with you, they all love trade imbalances, dont they!
Europe has a trade surplus, they aren't doing so well.
Australia has been running a deficit for ages. They have been doing splendidly.
Also, often a trade deficit is just a statistical artefact: if the Chinese ship a billion t-shirts to the US, and in return get a skyscraper in Manhattan, that skyscraper-for-t-shirts trade will show up as contributing to the trade-deficit, just because the skyscraper doesn't move.
(Some for them buying some silicone valley company instead of the skyscraper. And America is good at producing lots of those companies.)
If people want to give us goods and services in exchange for green bills that we can print at will, all the better.
