After failing to secure trade deals with other countries within the 90-day period, Trump now says he will just sent out letters to countries instructing them what to pay. "I'm gonna send the letters. That's the end of the trade deal."
And so goes the Great Negotiator, author of "The Art of the Deal" falling flat on his fat ass after failing to secure a deal with a single country. Who talks like this:
“Letters will start going out “pretty soon. We’ll look at how a country treats us — are they good, are they not so good — some countries we don’t care, we’ll just send a high number out,” Those letters will say, "Congratulations, we’re allowing you to shop in the United States of America, you’re going to pay a 25% tariff, or a 35% or a 50% or 10%.”
A 5 year old has better rhetoric! He still doesn't comprehend that it's not the country that pays the tariff, it's the American importer.
What's the solution to all this chaotic shit? Companies with significant trade will simply put off investments until Trump is gone. It is literally best for most corporations to just wait Trump out.
The President of the United States addressing another nation as Mr. Japan? Sending letters? This is the PRESIDENT OF THE US communicating with the rest of the world. This isn't a middle school crush. WTF? No Congress, no Supreme Court, no PR team even.
We deserve what is coming for us

Trump says he’ll write letters to countries about tariffs: ‘Dear Mr Japan’
President and his administration promised 90 trade deals in 90 days, a deadline that falls on July 8
