‘We Don’t Have to Sign Deals’: Trump Backs Off Big Promises About Tariffs​

After weeks of bragging about upcoming trade “deals” with foreign countries, President Trump says the United States doesn’t need to worry about them after all.

Ever since President Trump announced he was slapping hefty tariffs on countries across the globe, he has been predicting they would force trading partners to sign major deals beneficial to the United States.

But on Tuesday, with the Canadian prime minister sitting beside him in the Oval Office and no new trade deal between the two countries achieved, Mr. Trump had a different message for the public: “We don’t have to sign deals.”

“Everyone says ‘When, when, when are you going to sign deals?’” Mr. Trump said, at one point motioning toward Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary. “We don’t have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now, Howard, if we wanted to. We don’t have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want our market. We don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market.”

When very little progress is being made on tariff deals, over 5M people protested your failing presidency all around the country, the BBB is proving difficult to pass, court orders are blocking your illegal agenda, and your poll numbers are in the tank, what's a wannabe autocrat to do?

From AI......."What does it mean to Wag the Dog?

Wag the dog is a political term for the act of creating a diversion from a damaging issue usually through military force. It stems from the generic use of the term to mean a small and seemingly unimportant entity (the tail) controls a bigger, more important one (the dog)."

U.S. intelligence officials said Iran was likely to pivot toward producing a nuclear weapon if the U.S. attacked a main uranium enrichment site, or if Israel killed its supreme leader.

"90 deals in 90 days"

That was clearly a.........to be kind.........miscalculation. The unkind thing to say about this bit of gibberish..............“Everyone says ‘When, when, when are you going to sign deals?’” Mr. Trump said, at one point motioning toward Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary. “We don’t have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now, Howard, if we wanted to. We don’t have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want our market. We don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market.”..........is it shows what happens when ego and ignorance overtake reality.

The larger point being if Generalissimo trump ever needed to create a distraction from multiple failures its now.

I guess I just wonder at this point if (a) anyone really believes anything he says any more and (b) how many really care if they can or not.

Distract from what? The most successful military operation since D-Day? Securing rhe border? Booming economy?

Telling countries they want access to our market they need to make deals? The fact your so desperate to spin that highlights you need a desperate distraction from so much success

The plan was always to attack Iran; hence the unwarranted withdraw from the accords.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows nothing he says can be trusted. Nothing. Sometimes the lies are borne out of ignorance, sometimes they have an intentional purpose. More than half the country knows this. The Following never will.

Trump has brought us:

1. War
2. Higher gas prices
3. Tariff induced inflation
4. Rising unemployment
5. Budget with trillions in deficit increases

Other than that.. he is killing it. Amazing transgender and immigrant persecution progress. Rolling back womens access. So much to be proud of like Gulf of 'Merca and racist traitor Fort names.
