He forces nations to invest billions into America - countries like the E.U., Japan, South Korea, et al - billions they would rather be investing in their own nations, their own people, except America must be sated, whether those nations want to sate America, or not.
Why do we squeeze so - people who have less than we have? Trump declares: "To make America rich again!"

Just keep thinking: "What a great honor!"
