Surprise, President Trump is better informed than your paint huffing source. And another surprise, blame the Kenyan for another abyssmally bad deal:

'ePacket

In 2011, the U.S. Postal Service made special agreements with the national postal carriers of China and Hong Kong ... They called this shipping option the ePacket, and the rates are so low that it's cheaper to ship small parcels from China to an American city than it is to send that same parcel domestically. As Amazon’s Vice President of Global Policy Paul Misener pointed out:

“The cost to ship a one-pound package from South Carolina to New York City would run nearly $6; from Beijing to NYC: $3.66.

While sending that same one-pound package from New York City back to Beijing via USPS International Mail would cost in the ballpark of $50." '
