I cannot believe that previous administrations did not see this coming. Look at the big picture. We gave China all our manufacturing jobs. Now they make everything and sell it to us. So yeah they are making more money off of us than we are off of them. Trump is trying to fix this and the simple minds don't even understand what the problem is.

我无法相信前几届政府都没有预见到这一情形。我们把制造业的所有岗位都转到了。现在他们什么都生产，然后卖给我们。他们从我们身上赚的钱比我们从他们身上赚的钱多。特朗普试图解决这个问题，然而这个头脑简单的人甚至不知道问题出在哪里。

Import duties only impacted the last two months of the year, so had little effect on the annual figure. Next year will give a better idea of the impact.

进口关税只影响一年中的最后两个月，对年度数据影响不大。明年将会对其影响有更好的了解。
