Ok so first you say that my statement is false, and then proceed to explain to me that our trade balance is negative, when I said in my original statement that our trade balance is negative.

Then in this sentence you explain the exact reasons why what I said is true, but you say it as though you're disagreeing with me or correcting what I said.

You made this idiotic statement, so I posted data that shows that the U.S. is the world's 3rd largest exporter, and proceeded to explain to you why all of your confused bullshit above was wrong with this post

A negative trade balance means we buy more things from other countries than they buy from us.
A weak dollar means the things we sell to other countries are cheaper for them, so they buy more. It also means the things we import are more expensive for us, so we buy less of those things.
If we buy less things from other people and they buy more things from us the trade deficit shrinks.
I also don't get why so many people think that America doesn't export anything. While we are the world's largest importer, we are also one of the world's top 3 exporters.
