Good Evening OCU!
Donald is clueless about the global economy.
Building walls against trade will put this country into a depression if this blowhard gets his way.
Europe is 750 million people.
Asia is 4.5 billion people.
That is more than half the population of Earth.

There is a heck of a lot that is 'right' about America.
It's about time that this shmuck starts understanding it.
