don't believe anything until you actually see a signed document. The press conferences he holds while making these announcements are nothing other than ego soothing infomercials to make him look good to his misguided supporters who are too lazy to look into things.
When all the dust settles, I wont be surprised to learn that any "deal" he makes will be nothing more than a huge tax hike on the US citizens coupled with a big load of cash for him.
Not to mention that with any agreement you make with Trump, there’s a strong likelihood that he’ll just break the deal anyway whenever he wants. Just look at the way he’s pissed all over USMCA with his bulls*** illegal tariffs.

Pretty empty condemnation then, really. Like, thanks for waiting until you're one foot in the ground to realize the folly of your ways; it's like a deathbed conversion.

He made a tweet about some BS before that Hatfield-McCoy #### between Thailand and Cambodia had a ceasefire. That's all I can think of.

For those who panicked about Europe giving Trump a win. The best deals.

It was a bad deal for both the EU and US citizens. Great deal for Trump's wealthy friends though.

Pretty sure all of these so-called deals so far are fake (a whopping 5 deals out of the 100+ that Trump was promising by Aug 1st).

From what I can gather, none of these countries have released any official documents, and there doesn’t appear to be anything in writing. It’s basically just Trump slapping tariffs on everyone and calling it a deal.

The weird thing about all of this is that Ursala did all these press conferences implying the deal was done as she spoke for the EU, but I was always wondering, does she even have the authority to do that as Chief of EU? That's a lot of power that she would have herself over the countries in the EU. Feels like she as the EU Chief answers to the US and not the countries in the EU.

I watched it last night and...fair warning...it is depressing as all hell.

But certainly worth the watch. Especially since...I cant see them not getting defunded after that one...

Oh. And as an aside...is Drumpf the only one who signs everything with a sharpie? I thought they normally used fountain pens? It just looks so bush-league.
