So where is all those trade deals Trump was negotiating?

They have a concept of a deal

with the UK and nothing more at this point.  Trump's trade war is an abysmal failure and there aren't any deals of significance forthcoming. And jus wait until it hits the store shelves Tom. 


  Oh bullshit. You moron. The only "failure" here is YOU.

We already had a trade surplus with the UK.  Nevermind thats a stupid metric by which to measure trade - but even by that stupid metric the UK passed before Trumps tarriffs.   They bought more of our shit than we bought of theirs.....and Trump punished them anyway.   Now he wants everyone to clap their hands they reached "a deal".

 

We havent seen the impact of tariffs yet.   But its coming.   And I guarantee you its going to be alot worse than Joe Biden's big egg price calamity.

Trump has already started to weasel. He recently said that if the economy tanks, it won't be his fault. Of course, he'll take the credit if it turns out good (somehow).

 

Has the Turd ever admitted a mistake?

As I read more about the deal. He called the UK prime minister, got him out of bed and begged him for a deal. From what I can see, Trump made all the concessions.

 

As to China he agreed to their demands to end the new tariffs before there would be talks. Xi is going to eat Trump's lunch.

Trump will end up begging Xi for a deal like he did with the UK prime minister and China will end up getting a better trade deal than they had before Trump took office. Hopefully, we get access to BYD cars and some Chinese phones out of the deal.

 

Trump is the stupidest President ever. He knows nothing about history, economics or other countries' culture.  He didn't even understand China, like a lot of other Asian countries, has a face saving culture. Meaning for there to be any deal there has to be significant concessions from Trump as he insulted China and upended the status quo. Xi can't make a deal otherwise as it would cause him to lose face and he would appear weak to the Chinese people.

The UK deal still includes the 10% tariff.      Thats the same shit they had in place before the deal. 

So whats the deal?

Can you tell us is this just "puffery", like when Trump said he would lower prices on day 1 and have peace in Russia/Ukraine in 24 hours? Or is this a cold hard fact that will bring down prices and create a historical renaissance in the US economy?
