The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."

I had a fantastic time at Showpad’s AI Innovation Hackathon! It kicked off with an AI advancements overview, followed by coding sessions, lightning talks, and fun gaming activities like racing a beam robot through the office, Mario Kart, and FIFA. We wrapped up with impressive demos.
