The man who claimed "100%" that he'd negotiated 200 trade agreements with 195 countries is acting up again.

CNN —
If you thought President Donald Trump’s trade war was over, he has some news for you: Tariffs are going up again.

At the conclusion of his Middle East trip Friday, Trump acknowledged that trade negotiations are progressing too slowly to accommodate every country that wants to strike a new trade deal with the United States. So Trump said he’d give other countries a few more weeks, and then Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick would simply tell America’s trading partners what their new tariffs are.

What a ****ing clown...lol..

The G20 summit will be so much more productive without him there. Hopefully the mandate for everyone there is as strong as the mandate Canada has given, and some new deals that don't smell entirely of dog shit can be made.
 
If I received a sawbuck every time I read "Trump says" somewhere I'd be a millionaire.

He's really going to miss the global spotlight. I expect he'll do something stupid to draw attention to himself.

At this point everyone is too desensitized by Trump's stupidity for that to earn their attention all on it's own.

Which is not great news, because the next step is creating catastrophe in order to get attention, which has been pretty much the entire strategy for Trump 2.0.

So, folks, please, if he deescalates to mere stupidity, please act super surprised and give him all the attention he craves.
 
I'm so sick and tired of his bullying, threatening tactics. This man has zero understanding of the art of the deal. He is a blowhard that throws temper tantrums if he doesn't get his way . He doesn't give a damn how much he hurts Americans as long as he looks like a winner....when in fact he is a pathetic loser. I am equally as sick and tired of people who celebrate his tactics and think him some economical genius who has some grand plan.
 
I guess Dear Leader already has 50 sovereign states kissing his ass so he's free to focus on the remaining 150.

Liechtenstein, you've been called out.

We already saw Trump blink against China, he's not the tough man he thinks he is.

So you're saying "unhinged bluster" isn't a negotiating strategy?

Maybe it's "the Weave" or eleventy dimensional checkers.

Nope, and now the world saw him blink hard and give in. They know how to get around Trump, you let him be Trump. Eventually he'll cause so much self-damage that he'll have to reverse course.

So he lied about 200 deals pending. Republicans don’t care he lied again. Just another day.

He has lied his way the entire way through this. Always making it sound like there is a long line up to kiss his a$$. So far all he has to show for all this is having to lower tariffs against China to get them to talk and a promise to open up GB to a limited amount of beef that meets their high standards while opening the US up to British cars. While it is true that some countries are talking, there are no solid deals to point to. Nobody is kissing his big fat ugly a$$.
