I mean this is something people from both sides can agree with Trump on. The world has been taking the USA for a ride when it comes to trade. The EU is really defensive , and will protect its industry above else. It does also bully smaller countries (like Tunisia, stop illegal immigration or we reduce trade, etc...); but the US gets most of the bad press.

This is a function of our China policy and insistence on maintaining the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
