The United States has already struck 200 trade deals, President Donald Trump said in an interview this week — but he refused to say with whom.

 

We've been here before, and recently.

 

“[China is] saying it’s ‘fake news’ that trade talks are happening,” a reporter prompted Trump at the White House.

 

“Well, they had a meeting this morning,” the president replied.

 

“It doesn’t matter who ‘they’ is. We may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning. And we’ve been meeting with China.”

Donald Trump said in his 1990 Playboy interview:

"The Japanese cajole us, they bow to us, they tell us how great we are and then they pick our pockets. We're losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year while they laugh at our stupidity."

That's how he saw the world 35 years ago. Little has changed.

 

Yeah, he said something similar on Oprah many many years ago. 

About how the Japanese were selling their cars and electronics in the US and hurting local manufacturers.

 

This proves that he cared about the economy of the country as an average citizen. 

 

And now that he's president, people think he's a con artist who is deliberately trying to run the country into the ground and doesn't care about the country.

NAFTA was not negotiated by the present American leader. It was negotiated in 1992. It was replaced by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2020, following negotiation lead by the present incumbant.

Thanks for confirming my comment, though as a MAGA cult member you most likely do not realise that.

 

So he negotiate trade deals with more countries than there are in the world, and not only that, but not all of those 195 countries trade with the US.

 

Also the EU is a bloc of 27 countries, which are not allowed to negotiate individual trade deals, so that is about 170 countries left, of which not all trade with the US, but Trump has made deals with 200. hahahahaha

You don't need to believe every nonsense Lacessit posts, obviously you can be sure there will be more than one agreement with several countries, thereby easily taking the total to 200. Clearly Trump is the hardest working man in  Pollitico business.

 

He doesn't rest,  until he has made the world a better place.

 

Donald Trump, a once in a 100 years political phenomenon.  The greatest president any country has ever had.

Asked whether he has spoken with Xi since enacting his tariff plan, Trump told reporters: "I don't want to comment on that, but I've spoken to him numerous times."

 

Most likely between 2017 and 2020

I am not sure you meet the intellectual requirements  of the upper echelon of the movement, but you can certainly help put up some posters. If you don't speak a lot.

Trump is a ridiculous liar! 🤣

Extract one:

Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them?

I’ve made 200 deals. 

You’ve made 200 deals?

100%. 🤣

Can you share with whom?

Because the deal is a deal that I choose. View it differently: We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, (more blah blah follows, no country cited)

 

Extract 2:

 

Will you call President Xi if he doesn’t call you? 

No.

You won’t? 

Nope.

Has he called you yet? 

Yep. 🤣

When did he call you? 

He's called. And I don't think that's a sign of weakness on his behalf. 🤣

But you would think it’s a sign of weakness if you called him?

I don’t–I just look—

Well, what did he say? 

If people want to–well, we all want to make deals. But I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there. And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, if you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.

i used to think that Harris just liked to hear her voice and would say a bunch of nonsense when she was asked about anything - but Trump is the champion at using a million words to say absolutely nothing.  But I guess his billionaire buddies like that.

A lot of Trump's notoriety in 1990 that warranted a Playboy interview came from Trump's involvement and ad following the Central Park jogger incident.

And as I'm sure the article in Wikipedia will note even after DNA testing acquitted the five so-called rapists, Trump still insisted on their guilt.
