No, that's a negative. I love it when he whines and complains that we're mean. Of course we are...remember that you decided to do this, entirely on your own?

They are still letting Trump shaft them badly just like everybody else is trying to avoid. Do you know what the tariff on their cars were before Trump? 2.5%. That is more in line with doing business with an ally of yours. How did Japan screw up? What benefit is this deal to Japan compared to what the US gets out of it? Japan got bent over.
