Trade deal?
I waited to start this post late on purpose to hear the words about this “historic” deal.
I’m still not sure “we” have a deal; it sounds more like a framework of a deal that still needs written…
Donnie No Deals strikes again with his "trade deal" with the UK:

I listened to most of it live and while I’m no economist or trade expert, it sounds like the UK will purchase more of our goods, while the 10 percent remains in place on imports.
Asked if that would be the same for other trade deals, President that sucks at his job said “no” that’s a low number; it will be higher for others.
Reporter: The 10% baseline remaining in place, is that a template for future trade deals?

Trump: No. That’s a low number. Some will be higher pic.twitter.com/Q0IVhXriq1
Holy shit, we need more of this. I don’t normally say “hit play”, but hit play…
Reporter: With respect, are you overstating the reach and significance of this deal because you are a president who needs a result at this difficult time.

Asked about companies like “Ford” and “Mattle” raising prices on goods as a result of his tariffs, he says things…
Trump: Tariffs are the most misunderstood thing maybe in any form of business anywhere in business. Oftentimes the country picks them up, oftentimes the company picks it up. The people don't pick it up pic.twitter.com/WzEJbqSQ5e

The things he says about tariffs…
“Often times the country picks it up, often times the company picks it up”….
“The people don’t pick it up”…
He said that after he said “less goods” at our ports mean we aren’t losing money…
REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

In this clip, I think it’s part of another clip I shared but in this clip, the man calls Mattel the company a “country”.
Trump: Mattel— they’re the only country I’ve heard saying they’re going to go some place else. That’s okay. Let them go and we’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys. He won’t sell one toy in the US. pic.twitter.com/sT9bsaGukf

My thoughts:
Let in truly sink in, the leader of the free world really just said no containers at our ports is a good thing not a bad thing…
He also called Mattel a country, I wait with bated breath for all the articles that mention his “cognitive decline”…
I said bated breath not I will hold my breath…
This is an open thread
PS.
White Smoke derailed my thoughts, so instead of trying to refocus to share more stupid from Shitshow, it’s a wrap…
