Over the last 20 years has your trade gap stayed about the same, got worse or got better?

How many manufacturing plants and industries have gone?

How many people have lost their good jobs to only be replaced by minimum wage jobs?

Has your Debt grown or shrunk?

Has the gap between the Rich and Poor got wider of narrowed?

Which one of those specific points do you want to debate?

Trump is a clown, an awful President and not going to improve the situation. But Clinton has been part of the organisation that over those 20 years sold the assets of the US. Because its one great asset is manufacturing the goods it sold to the world. The Banking Crisis was made worse by the fact the US has lost so much of its manufacturing.

The EU is no better.
