The Art of Winning too Much to Be Doing Any Deals
So Trump’s out there now strutting around, bragging to the press, “We don’t have to sign deals,” like he’s just invented a new form of economic warfare where doing absolutely nothing is somehow a power move. Tariffs still up, trade deals still nonexistent, and the rest of the world’s still cracking on without him. It’s like turning up to a poker night, flipping the table before the first hand, and claiming victory while everyone else plays on. And he’s proud of this. Mate, I’ve seen feral cats with more long-term planning. Yet, all this comes after a 90-day tariff pause that yielded exactly zero new trade agreements. This from the man who once boasted about securing 200 trade deals, with 90 of those trade deals to be done in his first 90 days as president, despite not doing any to date and there being only 195 countries on the planet. It’s like me saying I’ve dated 300 women in a town of 150 people, all of them men. To add garnish to the lunacy, he tried hyping up some “major” trade deal with the UK. British officials basically said, “Calm down, mate, it’s just a handshake and a shared sausage roll.” Even the UK ambassador looked confused, like someone had just declared a new US national holiday over a pound coin behind Farage's sofa. But Trump fans were already buying commemorative mugs and playing the national anthem on kazoos. And then comes my favourite bit, the inevitable Twitter-X philosopher piping up on my feed with, “Trump’s a stable genius, give him some time, it’s only been 100 days.” Mate, only 100 days? Really lads? The man’s been in office before bruv and he’s not on a work study program. You don’t get to burn the house down, rebuild half a shed, and then ask for patience like you’re on your first shift at a fish and chips takeout stand. If this is stability, I’d hate to see him on a wobble.
