We now have entire countries playing Trump’s games by Trump’s rules. There’s a reported 50+ countries trying to “negotiate” with Trump. This is why he continues doing the things he does. Because after all the tough talk and saber rattling, they all crumble like a house of cards in a hurricane at the first hint of pressure.
This is the same trade deal that the EU negotiated with Obama. Trump refused to sign in 2017. They are only offering him what was on the table 8 years ago and he refused. Calm down already.
So like what Canada and Mexico promised when this tariff bullshit first started?
Canada had a signed free trade deal already. A deal trump personally negotiated and signed.
But was also the most UnFAir trade Deal EvURrrR
ETA: according to Shitler himself
They shouldn’t even have offered that, now he feels justified and vindicated in his demands and lies that the others are doing the US harm.
Best was to have the press loudly declare they offered 0-0 in 2017 and he did not want anything to do with that … but putting it on the table (again) now, and saying we’re ready to negotiate, is a show of weakness on the part of the EU.
This is infuriating. Why can’t anyone abroad realize that the USA is dead? Ignore us and we have no power.
It’s because they know trump is stupid and it’s their job to help their voters by trying to take advantage of him. they are diplomats. they will be like “oh you totally beat us” while they play him like a fiddle
The US is a symptom of a world-wide problem.
Agreed. All this shit is just a hop and a skip away from literally every other nation out there that’s not already devolved into such bullshit.

Literally the same deal Trump already pulled out of. We need people with longer memories to fight the fascist threat.
I think they assume he’s stupid enough to think it’s a new deal.
Like he did with Canada.
A zero-for-zero won’t work with Trump. He does not understand math, economy, or basic logic.
China simply does tit for tat plus X. My bet is this is the only strategy that works against Trump.
At bare minimum they should also demand that Trump stops talking about or making plans on annexing Greenland.
They don’t get it. It’s not about reciprocal tariff schedules. They need to buy Trump™️ Shitcoins™️.
