ahh...nope weaker dollar means we spend more for the stuff we import, like 8 million barrels of oil a day. Hundreds of billions in electronics. Its a self defeating proposition, for the average consumer

You're talking about what *we* import. When talking about other countries importing our products (our exports), a cheaper dollar, all else being equal, could help equalize that export-import imbalance that Trump is stupidly obsessed with to the extent that he doesn't (can't) integrate other key indicators of economic health.
