He tanked our markets, and then 180 degree backpeddled.. but did he get even 1 tariff deal out of his capitulation?

I watched a news conference yesterday where he was asked by a reporter about this, and he basically answered "I have concepts of the first deal"


Sounds like another Ukraine Peace Treaty to me...

He won't be able to get it done in the time allotted (90 days).

Plus on Monday he might get a bubble in his tummy and decide to reinstate the whole thing.

How is the world of real countries supposed to negotiate with a toddler?

Nope, no deals, just chaos and capitulation.

Does maga realize that everything other than food in Wal-Mart comes from China? lol

Butt why don't we make it in the USA? We do make stuff in the US, but you don't buy it because you want cheap shit.

US made Klein pliers are around 20 bucks. The China version is five. Which do you own?

Trump said that more than 70 countries are begging to negotiate better deals.
When asked for a list of the countries begging for deals they suddenly got very coy and said they aren't going to say.
Several folks there were like un humm...that is bullshit.

i actually hope there are a lot of countries that strike fair deals with the USA.
But people who say that this was all planned and trump knows exactly what he is doing are wrong. He is winging it like a king...and his cult is good with that.

90 days from now it will be another excuse.


" President Donald Trump and his advisers said this was the plan all along: Scare the bejesus out of the world by announcing astronomically high tariffs, get countries to come to the negotiating table, and - with the exception of China - back away from the most punishing trade barriers as America works out new trade agreements around the globe.

But Trump's 90-day pause on his "reciprocal" tariffs that were never actually reciprocal gives his administration just three months to strike enormously complex trade deals with dozens of countries that it says are lining up to negotiate.

Financial markets aren't buying it. "

NY Times has a story on China tariffs today. Syringes 245%, toys 145%, laptops and cell phones 20%.

If you have a plan, why do so many things after the fact? It's a question for maga.

And the penguin islands. What was the point behind imposing tariffs on flightless sea fowl?

Do we have tariff deal #1 yet? LOL

"They're lining up!" hahahahaha


The White House pressed for fast negotiations with its shock and awe tariffs. Now it can't drum up enough interest from a 'first mover'

Nope not one deal yet - Trade deals are real work and take time.
This administration is lazy as fk.

No way are they doing 90 deals in 90 days as they said.
They would be lucky to get a dozen done.

I think the tariff "deal" is that trump is going to back off of them now that he and his minions have learned some lessons.

Senile, needs to go to a retirement home. I hear Biden is looking for a roommate.

I mean seriously, has anyone seen any article or anything that mentions a done tariff deal anywhere?

I was trying to explain to a maga "friend" of mine that there's been no deals and he says there have been, but could.provide no proof, so I'm legit trying to find just one..

anybody got *anything*?

Magas?

Tpap? Crankz? Obie? Snipes?

nuthin??

There ain't any deals yet.
When they do get one done Trump and company will be spiking that ball and throwing a victory parade because they made a deal with Madagascar....

Sad.

He basically just sat on 'merica's balls. The extremely rich got extremely more richer.

It was fun while it lasted.

Will maga hold him accountable when this tariff bullshit goes belly up? Of course not. If this isn't a cult, nothing is.

-------------------------
I was right.

And like a cult it is centered around one personality.
When the Orange Jesus is no longer functioning the cult will die.
Look at the history of cult leaders and what happens to their organizations when they pass.
Thankfully Trump is old and most of us will outlive him.

The Chinese are trolling pretty hard now, they seem to have the upper hand.

"Trump chickened out" - I mean they are straight taunting him, could be an explosive strategy.
