Trump: we’ve made over 200 trade deals
Everyone: with who?
Trump: she goes to another school
It's funny he is so stupid he can't even tell a plausible lie! Because he has to exaggerate beyond what's even possible.
https://www.worldometers.info/geography/how-many-countries-are-there-in-the-world/
Countries in the world: 195
So surprise surprise the actual number is zero. 🤣🤣🤣
"He never said they were Earthly nations. He's making deals with nations across the galactic empire!" - One of Trump's 20 billion supporters.
Sorry my bad, that's actually pretty cool. 😜
“We don’t have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want a piece of our market, we don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market. They want a piece of our market,” Trump rambled.
"Trump rambled" is the best attribution for trump quotes.
'We don't care about their market' is such a self indictment of his understanding of global trade.
also like… literally the reason for tariffs: because people want international goods and nobody wants yours
Poor soybean farmers hearing that when maybe 40% of their crop ends up in Chyyy-nah
Your base mighttt care about their market lil bro
He'll just distribute them largess from the public coffer. He doesn't give a shit. Let them watch gladiators while Rome burns.
To be fair, the bread is still a problem, but he's saving a bundle on the circus
If we don't care about their market, why are we trying to balance trade?
Because his economic thinking is less advanced than David Ricardo's, and Ricardo died 200 years ago. Ricardo showed the imbecility of attempting to have a pairwise balance of trade for every trading partner, in simple terms, though probably not simple enough for Trump to understand, even if he attempted to learn.
As an economist recently observed, my balance of trade with my barber is negative: so what?
Because Trump doesn't understand one inch of the global economy.
This is what happens when you mainline American Exceptionalism for 80 years - It rots your brain.
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.
Hey now, he eventually back pedaled and successfully redirected the hurricane by using just a sharpie.
I wish he did so people would realize how much of an idiot he is. But then again, this is Maga.
Emperor has no clothes. Nazis don’t care.
Dday part 2 coming soon.
If there’s one emperor you absolutely want to wear clothes, it’s trump.
The emperor has no class
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.
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.
Last month, Trump claimed to have already struck 200 trade agreements with foreign countries, a remark so outlandish it sent members of his administration scrambling to make it make sense. (There are also only 195 countries in the world.)
The vile foreigner swine must have pulled out of all of them over the past month.
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!
Trump is full of shit. As usual.
He is a pile of shit in a trench-coat
Holding all the cards but his casinos are gone.
"We don’t have to sign deals!” Trump said.
Why even bother signing a deal that everyone knows you're going to break
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.
You forgot the part where he declares victory and claims he saved us from the disaster that he himself made.
And 70 million+ American voters believe it.
Made deal with 200 nations? Yeah, imagiNations.
Wakanda, Narnia, Atlantis, Mordor, New Crobuzon, Dis, Sodom & Gomora, flavortown, that isle where all gay man live, the underworld and belgium.
I guess leaders are too busy kissing his ass?
