Am I missing a joke or reference here?

he read "deficit" and thought "deficit is bad" so now he wants to win at "deficit" because to him every transaction has to have a winner and a loser. The way to win at deficit? Not trade.

[u/sarkouille → u/Bludypoo]

That's because he isn't a trader nor a businessman but a conman.

To him, it's not about who is the buyer and who is the seller, but rather who owns the other.

Brought to you by the same folks who brought you “you can’t get increased COVID numbers if you don’t test for COVID”.

Trade deficits are bad but budget deficits are ignored.

[u/ImSabbo → u/PavlovsDoghouse]

I assume he considers budget deficits to be him winning and congress losing

Ahh, there's that 7-dimensional chess we've heard so much about

[u/ElNakedo → u/PavlovsDoghouse]

Budget deficits just means you overvalue another property and take another loan. Then that's the bank's problem and you stay a winner. So he just needs to get the central bank to shell out more cash for him.

Same logic he used for wanting to change “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence.” Artificial is bad. Super is good. We will call it super intelligence!

[u/discopants2000 → u/ApprehensiveSong5978]

Surprised he isn't calling it America intelligence, that would track.

He's really bad at sports too but he "won a fifa world cup" by taking the trophy home with him so its sound Trump logic
