(7,246 posts)WTF is he talking about? There are already deals in place. Hes got fucking deals on his mind, like hes gonna renege on agreements with China like he cheats his employees and vendors.
This act is just old. What he wants to dolike in his first termis announce deals, then no deals, then deals again and enrich his buddies in the stock market who he tips off on advance. Market goes upthey cash in. Market goes downthey cash in. Until theres no cash left.
Sorry folks, this is gonna be a bad economic fall .*

(227 posts)I don't say this to make light of age-related cognitive decline so I hope this is not taken that way, but I've seen people at the stage he's at, and my guess Trump doesn't have a lot more time left before it's undeniable he's in significant mental decline. I'd be surprised if he makes many public speaking appearances after about 2 years from now.

There was never gonna be any tariffs. Who didn't see this coming?
