My favorite will be when he puts the Iran deal that he canceled back in place, only it's worse.

That would require way too much competence. And anyway Iran would be a fool to negotiate anything with the United States again, we don't honor our agreements.

Looks like China is really going to make Trump beg or just unilaterally fold.  

Reality has no relevance to what the Trump regime claims.

Shrewd.  Brilliant business.  We should open a casino.

The same guy who has bankrupted multiple casinos makes China look like the good guy. He really has a knack for the art of the deal.

I heard all the talking heads reacting to this, and I’m confused about why it’s news. The White House has been begging China for a meeting for weeks to no avail.
They walked Trump into this situation. They aren’t going to walk him out.

Jeff Tiedrich is always a good read:



”you know in uh 1913 they traded to the income tax system. we used to be all tariff. and we had no income tax and we had the wealthiest country we ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913, it was all tariffs, and we did— we had more money than anybody.”

who do you mean ‘we,’ white man? pro tip: when Donny says ‘we,’ he’s not talking about you and me. he’s talking about his own greedy self, and his oligarch buddies: the Space Nazi, Granny-Starvin’ Howie Lutnick, Dick-Rocket Jeff Bezos, and all the tax-cut-seeking gazillionaires who have been funneling multi-million dollar nod-nod-wink-wink ‘donations’ into Dear Leader’s pockets.

They talk about it because every time Trump says something about lowering tariffs, the markets jump (and vice versa).

When you realize you have gotten to the point where you believe the Chinese over your own country.

When your President believes Russian intel over his very own Country’s.

Trump painted himself into a corner.  And us with him.  Only he has the corruption/grift to avoid all of the pain he has created for everyone else.

Thats what happens when “your own country” lies about things every single day to the press. This administration has zero credibility, and yes, it’s much easier to believe that we’re nowhere near any “deals” on trade.

FUCK YOU.  I don't eat that PF Changs shit.  I go to real-deal chinese joints.  The kinda places you can get chicken feet and stewed tripe and legit dumplings.

In other words, I am 1,000 times more qualified -- and more likely to be successful -- in any trade negotiations with China than any fucking member of this current clownshow admin would be.

We just keep repeatedly shooting ourselves in the dick, slapping another magazine in the gun when we burn through the previous mag, and begging China out loud "won't you stop me from doing this?"  China's response...

I guess markets believe Trump and not China bc stocks up over the last two days.

Smart money on it taking a shit pretty soon when someone with credibility (do those exist?) comes out to confirm there’s no discussion and that was a bold faced lie to pump up the markets and get the heat off the administration for their disappearing shenanigans

Or maybe the markets believe what most folks around here believe: it doesn't matter who's telling the whole truth right now, the most likely outcome is that Trump will cave and call it a victory.

Now there is chinese-made Fetanyl, being routed through Canada, destined for Texas? I can't keep up.

Maybe Trump should slap tariffs on Texas for, you know, flooding the rest of the country with fentanyl.

Quote

You’ve made 200 deals?

100%.

Can you share with whom?

Because the deal is a deal that I choose. View it differently: We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it. They don't have to do business with the United States, but I set a tariff on countries. Some have been horrible to us. Some have been okay. Nobody's been great. Nobody's been great. Everybody took advantage of us. What I'm doing is I will, at a certain point in the not too distant future, I will set a fair price of tariffs for different countries. These are countries—some of them have made hundreds of billions of dollars, and some of them have made just a lot of money. Very few of them have made nothing because the United States was being ripped off by every, almost every country in the world, in the entire world. So I will set a price, and when I set the price, and I will set it fairly according to the statistics, and according to everything else. For instance, do they have the VAT system in play? Do they charge us tariffs? How much are they charging us? How much have they been charging us? Many, many different factors, right. How are we being treated by that country? And then I will set a tariff. ...

So, once again, dumbfuck doesn't know what words mean.  Somehow, he's concluded that a "deal" is him unilaterally setting a tariff rate.  And he's done that 200 times.  Or he will do that 200 times within 3-4 weeks ...

Quote

I’m just curious, why don’t you announce these deals that you’ve solidified? 

I would say, over the next three to four weeks, and we're finished, by the way.

You’re finished? 

We’ll be finished. 

Oh, you will be finished in three to four weeks. 

I’ll be finished. Now, some countries may come back and ask for an adjustment, and I'll consider that, but I'll basically be, with great knowledge, setting—ready?

I'm sure the market will find this very comforting somehow, though.

This is the entire problem with this little-dicked simpleton.  He thinks that if the other guys also made a profit, he got ripped off.  It's impossible for his underpowered brain to conceive of a mutually beneficial arrangement.  This is why it's okay for him to stiff everyone he does business with and owes money to.  That's him winning and them losing.  Who gives a shit if it's fair?

We're not going to have an ally left in this world when this guy is done.
