If you can find a single thread in the last 100 days that has been negative of Trump where @Harrisfan has not contributed then I shall stand corrected.

 

 

 

He3 should have no problem checking for it, as he has been in all of them himself, but of course he's not a cult member

Meanwhile, Scott Bessent revealed that 100 nations have approached the USA for tariff deals, and they're focusing on 17 of the 18 that are most important.

 

“All 17 have approached us. We are batching them in groups at a time,” Bessent said. “But we’ve had 100 approach us, and we are working with the top 17 to try to move them along as quickly as possible. Knowing that their levels could ratchet back up to the April 2 tariff level has made everyone come to the table with some, what I would say, are very good proposals.”

 

I'm kinda glad they're not rushing.  You get bad deals when you're the side in a hurry.

 

His statement came from a Fox interview with Hannity.

 

So... zero?

President Trump wrote the book on the art of the deal. Many more great deals to come.

Hitler wrote a book as well.

1st thread; That thread is mainly critical of Bezos, AND it's from today. Give her time.

2nd thread: Holy crap, you found a tiny Trump thread she hasn't contributed to. Hold the presses, @Harrisfan is slipping up!

 

But, I'm nothing if not true to my word; I shall stand corrected. One whole thread as slipped her by!

Reality check.

Usually good comprehenive trade deals between two countries takes YEARS.

Trump is basically insane.

Stop trying to sane wash him.

Yes he'll end this tariff mess somehow, likely with even more of a mess.

The damage has already been done.

No country in the world actually TRUSTS the USA anymore.

They gave us the benefit of the doubt with Trump 1.0 but electing unhinged unrestrained wannabe emperor of the world Trump 2.0 tells them what we are.

We're screwed. Get used to it.

Suggestion for new thread tomorrow:

Trump is an evil, orange, Nazi, fascist, dictator, oligarch and I need lot's of anti-MAGA responses to make me feel good.

I asked Grok: "How many trade deals has Donald Trump done to date within his first hundred days of presidency?"

 

Grok's Answer:

 

As of April 30, 2025, marking the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency, there is no definitive evidence from reliable sources confirming that any trade deals have been finalized. Multiple reports and posts on X indicate that no trade deals have been completed within this period. For instance, Reuters notes that the Trump administration aimed to strike 90 trade deals in 90 days but faced significant challenges, with no specific deals reported as finalized by the 100-day mark. Additionally, posts on X consistently claim zero trade deals have been made.

While some sources mention ongoing negotiations with countries like India, Japan, and South Korea, and a claim by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick of a near-complete deal with an unnamed country, no concrete agreements are documented as signed or enacted within the first 100 days. A natural resources deal with Ukraine was announced on April 30, 2025, but it is unclear if this qualifies as a traditional trade deal or was finalized within the 100-day timeframe.

Given the lack of specific evidence of completed deals, the most accurate count based on available information is zero finalized trade deals within the first 100 days. However, negotiations are ongoing, and the situation may evolve. For the latest updates, checking primary sources like whitehouse.gov or reputable news outlets is recommended.

So, I guess the answer is none. By the way, it took the UK 2 years and 4 months to strike the first trade deals after Brexit: (Goggle) The first trade deals negotiated from scratch after leaving the EU, with Australia and New Zealand, went into effect in May 2023, according to the UK government website. My comment: It doesn't happen just like that...

I asked Grok "How much investment has Trump brought into the US in his first hundred days"

Grok's answer:

In his first 100 days as the 47th President, Donald Trump has been credited with securing over $5 trillion in new U.S.-based investments, according to White House statements and various reports. These investments are estimated to create more than 451,000 new jobs. Key examples include:

• Project Stargate (Softbank, OpenAI, Oracle): $500 billion for AI infrastructure.
• Apple: $500 billion for U.S. manufacturing and training.
• NVIDIA: $500 billion for AI supercomputer manufacturing.
• IBM: $150 billion over five years for growth and manufacturing.
• Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC): $100 billion for chip manufacturing in Arizona, the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.
• Amazon: $70 billion for AI.
• Johnson & Johnson: $55 billion for manufacturing and R&D.
• Roche: $50 billion for manufacturing and R&D, expected to create over 1,000 jobs.
• Eli Lilly: $27 billion to expand domestic manufacturing.
• ADQ and Energy Capital Partners: $25 billion for data centers and energy infrastructure.
• Novartis: $23 billion for manufacturing facilities, creating 4,000 jobs.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific: $2 billion over four years for manufacturing expansion.
• The Bel Group: $350 million for production expansion, creating 250 jobs.
• Stellantis: $5 billion for U.S. auto manufacturing.

I searched for a few seconds. If I search more I will find a lot more and you know it. 

 

Also are you assuming the gender of that poster ?

I would hope and expect that the impacted countries would have  engaged with the USA to address US concerns and to  protect their own national interests. This does not mean that there are new trade deals. Nor does it mean that the USA will get what it wants.  The US strategy has harmed the US economy and inflicted needless damage. Much of the western world was already moving to more localized supply chains.

 

The problem is with the US population itself. It wants the cheap products. Walmart and Costco are filled with low cost, low quality items because that is what the US consumer and US investor demands. There was a time when the USA made products that were  long lasting and repairable. The US consumer wanted disposables and low priced items, which US factories could not  or would not produce.  US investors are fixated on immediate returns. Production was offshored because the invest funds wanted higher returns. Those investment funds  pay the annuities, pensions and income for  US citizens. No US investment fund has ever said, stay in Ohio, and give us a lower rate of return.

 

One of the most misleading and self deceiving assumptions the pro-tariff group has is that China only produces  high labour low tech products that the USA does not need.  China's production factories are often automated and it has a cadre of  engineers and production technicians  that dwarf what the USA can muster. While the USA was investing in  wars, highways to nowhere, underused airport subsidies, refusing to close hundreds of redundant military bases etc. China was investing in its infrastructure and education. China  has modernized and while it  still has a way to go, much of its population has the benefits of a  technically advanced society. Meanwhile, urban  USA is a war zone with drugged out zombies wandering about and crazies shooting up schools.

How IRS Tax Refunds Will Be Impacted by Mass Layoffs

Many companies have already pre-announced their layoffs for May, and employees across several industries will be impacted.

Companies are required to send out a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice before implementing mass layoffs. More than 120 employers are planning to let workers go in May, according to WARNTracker.com.

Why It Matters

Companies are facing rising costs and shifting consumer demand, causing many to evoke mass layoffs across departments.

However, some of the other layoffs are happening as corporations seek to maximize profits rather than necessity, and the trend is happening across industries, experts say.
