Current account deficits are probably the result of a bunch of separate and interconnected factors (check out OECD's example below). Various monocausal explanations being sold as imbalances get politicized, would advise against buying into them

Chinese economist Xia Chun made a nice chart showing the lack of correlation between USD strength (blue line) and an enlarged current account deficit (orange line)
Instead the current account deficit tends to rise in periods when US economic growth outperforms major trading partners

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."
3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."
This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.
