Donald Trump has continually insisted that deals over his tariffs are coming.

Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that the U.S. doesn’t “have to sign” any trade deals, inadvertently admitting that his administration hasn’t made any progress during the 90-day pause on his disastrous tariffs.

During a tense meeting to discuss tariffs with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the president attempted to move the goal posts on actually completing any agreements with foreign countries.

“Everyone says, ‘When, when, when, are you going to sign deals?’ We don’t have to sign deals!” Trump said.

What's that, Lassie?

All he's done is ruin everything and make the world worse for everybody?

He's crashing the US economy?

He's doing hundreds of years worth of damage to the country?

Millions of innocent people's lives are ruined?

Millions of innocent people outside of the country will probably needlessly die because of him?

What's that, Lassie?

Huh? It almost sounds French.

Oh, guillotine.

GOOD DOG!

I guess leaders are too busy kissing his ass?

"We don’t have to sign deals!” Trump said.

Why even bother signing a deal that everyone knows you're going to break

If we could get someone Trump listens to saying that the United States is falling behind Norway in dilithium mining, and state it confidently, he would 100% be demanding Norway's dilithium operations the next day.

We should find a way to do this.

. . .someone Trump listens to. . .

Maybe fox news?

You could get on OAN and likely have the same exposure

Trump is full of shit. As usual.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

He is a pile of shit in a trench-coat

Well, we all know how incapable Trump is regarding business and economy. Basically any halfway professional diplomat or trade official will basically run him into the next wall, head first.

China is only the first of many countries where he will learn that he is playing with adults for the first time. These are not random bootlicking apprentices he can fire at a whim.

How many MAGA folks will ever see this? Probably very few. And most of those few will dismiss it without a second thought.

He wanted to nuke a hurricane and americans still voted for him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Amazed he didn't try and nuke COVID-19.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Hey now, he eventually back pedaled and successfully redirected the hurricane by using just a sharpie.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I wish he did so people would realize how much of an idiot he is. But then again, this is Maga.

most of the countries right now are already working around the tariffs, once its done , if trump decides to rescind all the tariffs, most of it wont come back every, or at leas it will be so minimal that it wont affect anything.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm really hoping that after enough people yell at him about how much money they are losing, he will just drop the tariffs and wonder off to the next disaster.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You forgot the part where he declares victory and claims he saved us from the disaster that he himself made.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

And 70 million+ American voters believe it.

Holding all the cards but his casinos are gone.
