A trade deficit is not inherently unhealthy
Then even without that, your 6 biggest companies are Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta. Then the seventh is private equity. Then it's back to Alphabet again, and Broadcom.
The trade deficit calculation excludes services, including but not limited to: software
So even with countries where you supposedly have trade deficits you're not even sure that you really do.
TL;DR It won't help you select jack shit

We can do that too. Feel free to use the tariff information differently or not at all. I also want to buy more American products and this information may help with that too. Even if they are more expensive and their quality is inferior. You can choose to do otherwise and I don't have a problem with that.
