Manbaby's post (excerpted in the BlueSky screenshot) says, speaking of the EU,

"have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year"

that's 1/4 of $1 billion, a trivial amount compared to the U.S. economy. Apparently manbaby can't do math. A quick Google search says $235.6 billion in 2024, or about 1,000 times as large.
