Canada again points to U.S. numbers after Trump admits he concocted trade deficit claim

Trump doubled down on the trade deficit claim on Twitter Thursday morning.

"We do have a trade deficit with Canada, as we do with almost all countries," he said. "They do. They almost all do and that's how I know!"

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative confirms that "the U.S. goods and services trade surplus with Canada was $12.5 billion in 2016," Austen said.

So, which one are you going to believe - the guy who says he knows because he knows, or the people who actually have proof that the guy who says he knows because he knows is wrong?
