Another self own by you. I don't need pretend credentials like you. I can just state facts that you can't refute so you'll respond by calling me names.
Facts:
There are zero signed trade deals. Tariffs have been imposed and backed down by Trump multiple times. This caused an exodus from US Bonds devaluing the dollar due to lack of confidence and stability. The continued tariffs are increasing prices - Walmart, Deere, several auto companies have announced price increases. The tariffs have caused layoffs. Trump is selling direct access to the office of President via his crypto.
Please refute ANY of the above without childish insults.
The claim that “there are zero signed trade deals” during Donald Trump’s presidency is inaccurate.
we're talking his second admin, moran.
we know he just ripped up his very own USMCA and said it was a terrible agreement.
the fact trump agrees his own negotiating last time was terrible is not a great sign.

As of May 2025, President Donald Trump's second administration has not formally withdrawn from the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). Trump and Ebrard have scheduled a review for 2026 of the agreement, although that may happen later this year due to the need to re-evaluate.
None of this means Trump "ripped up his very own agreement." You guys can speak casually all you want, doesn't mean it's true. Clown. Fear Monger. Loser.
So you are knarlysheen also? I appreciate the actual response, though you did descend into insult with the last paragraph.
If Trade deals take months/years, why did Trump say 90 days, 90 deals (still ridiculous) recently and on the campaign trail he said instant price drops? He never mentioned pain or hardship until he turned the boat over with everyone in it. Why didn’t he run a long game? The short game has caused pain without gain at least so far.
No one here is rooting for China. We are hoping to get back to normalcy without wild rollercoaster financial policies that are damaging main st, wall st and America's reputation. China may be in the weaker position, but they ARE playing the long game and so far holding their own.
You ignored devalued dollar, layoffs, price increases (not temporary if tariffs remain), and open corruption of selling Presidential access.
You have no idea how hard it is not to treat you lefties with the disdain you deserve.
You can agree to a deal in principle which is exactly what happened with the UK.
Obama said he would lower sea levels and you just filled your pants and swooned... Trump speaks in hyperbole. He's been doing it for 40+ years. His supporters understand this. People like you somehow cannot figure it out...
The "normalcy" you'd like to get back to is the US getting screwed over. It's unsustainable.
They don't have a long game they murdered their long game in the 80s and 90s with their idiotic 1 child policy. Their long game is demographic collapse. What do you think happened when you population has more people over 65 than under 65 and working?
Again with the insults. I am giving you a counter point without malice.
Agreement in principle is not a specific trade deal. Until it is, we have higher trade prices = inflation.
You say hyperbole, I say pathological liar. Agree to disagree and move on.
As I said, China may be in a weaker position, but their collapse is not coming in weeks, months, or even years. Their exports to the US only account for about 20% of their total. So they can sustain a Trade war with Trump, likely until he leaves office or dies. Their demographic problem is the same as the US demographic problem, but we were staying ahead of it with immigration. Trump shut that off and is accelerating that problem.
In principle I agree and disagree with some stances of both parties. I just think that a well thought out long term coherent plan makes more sense than "blow it up and see what needs fixing later".
Example: onshoring manufacturing. Tariffs increase consumer cost. Decrease buying, and cause companies to hold rather than invest in new factories. The Inflation Reduction Act incentivized microchip fab in the US and started the process of a dozen fab factories being built, but it takes time. Short term debt, but long term gain in tech, mfg, tax income and national security. To me, a much better solution.

Changing the tariffs listed in the agreement without discussing with the other parties of the agreement is exactly "ripping up the agreement".

Haha. You would make a poor attorney.
The legal framework of the agreement itself does not prohibit a member country from adjusting its tariff policies independently. The USMCA, much like its predecessor NAFTA, contains mechanisms for consultation, dispute resolution, and periodic review, but it does not grant any party an absolute veto over tariff adjustments made under national sovereignty.

Where was the insult?
The tariffs were paused and will remain paused because of the agreement in principle... What is causing the inflation if there are no tariffs?
You have no idea when China's collapse is coming. You don't know anything about it.
The US has some of the healthiest demographics in the developed world. Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Lol no one is pissed off at him. Am I mad at the retarded kid who yells at me? No, I have sympathy for that guy.
You sure you’re “25”?, you write like a 15 year old and regurgitate right wing talking points with no original thought
Dude. You got beat again. How many naps do you take after each one? You're not too bright and had an awful upbringing. Rise above it or float down the toilet like the turd you are.
“I mean, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing?” Trump said Monday. “On just about anything, every aspect you can imagine, they took advantage.”
He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’
(Trump signed it)
Trump praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made” and lauded it for replacing the “nightmare” North American Free Trade Agreement ratified under former President Bill Clinton, calling it the “worst trade deal ever made.”

Tariffs are not paused. Almost all countries are increased to at 10% (most were < 2%) and China is at +30%. So inflation. J. Powell, Walmart, Deere, multiple car companies, Target, Amazon, etc have all said prices are going up.
No one has any idea when/if China's collapse is coming either. I only suggested their demise is years away even with the trade war and gave a reason for that assesment.
The US reproduction rate is about 90%. Higher than China, but the same problem: an aging population. Without immigration it is a bigger problem.

Why don't you try showing what he WAS referring to if you believe it was not USMCA. Use verifiable soirces. Insults are childish and counter to you convincing others.
What is with my fellow conservatives? Today they are again all reporting (From Junior on down) that 86 47 means assassinating Trump. 86 just means to get rid of and there are many legal ways to accomplish this. I do not agree with their sentiments, but Comey is not calling for DJT to be killed. Comey certainly means to impeach or vote him out of office not a call for violence. I know that most of it is performative, it I think makes our movement look less serious.

The continued tariffs are increasing prices - Walmart, Deere, several auto companies have announced price increases. The tariffs have caused layoffs. Trump is selling direct access to the office of President via his crypto.
Please refute ANY of the above without childish insults.
The claim that “there are zero signed trade deals” during Donald Trump’s presidency is inaccurate. Trump’s administration successfully renegotiated several significant trade agreements, most notably the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA. This agreement, signed in 2018 and implemented in 2020, was a landmark achievement that introduced stricter labor provisions, rules of origin requirements for the auto industry, and digital trade protections. Additionally, the Trump administration secured a Phase One Trade Agreement with China in 2020, which committed China to purchasing more U.S. agricultural products and other goods while addressing some intellectual property concerns. While these agreements may not have resolved all trade tensions, the assertion of “zero signed trade deals” is demonstrably false.
Regarding tariffs, Trump’s imposition of tariffs on China and other countries was a cornerstone of his trade policy, intended to address perceived unfair trade practices and reduce the U.S. trade deficit. While it is true that tariffs resulted in increased prices for certain goods—acknowledged by companies like Walmart and Deere—the economic impacts were nuanced. For example, despite some layoffs in tariff-affected industries, the broader U.S. economy maintained low unemployment rates during Trump’s presidency. Moreover, the tariffs incentivized reshoring and investment in domestic manufacturing, which some argue strengthened long-term economic resilience.
The assertion that tariffs caused an "exodus from U.S. bonds devaluing the dollar" is also oversimplified. U.S. Treasury bonds have consistently been a global safe haven, and fluctuations in demand are influenced by myriad factors, including interest rate policies and geopolitical events. The claim that Trump's tariffs singularly devalued the dollar lacks substantive evidence; the dollar’s value is primarily influenced by broader monetary policy and global market trends.
Finally, the claim that Trump “is selling direct access to the office of President via his crypto” warrants careful scrutiny. No credible evidence or verified reports support this serious accusation. Ethical concerns around political fundraising and influence are important topics, but accusations should be grounded in verifiable facts rather than speculative or unsubstantiated assertions.
Douche lord.
Except for the vulgar and childish insult at the end, this is an appreciated thought out answer.
The bond sell off coincided directly with tariffs as did the market sell off. Other factors? Maybe. But tariffs were the primary.
No trade deals have been signed as a result of his tariff trade war. All pain, no gain so far. Last term there were signed agreements. True. He ended them this time, though.
Corruption: Trump has literally said he is rewarding top investors in his crypto, which gains him personal profit, with one on one access. He lifted sanctions on Syria when its leader offered to build a Trump Tower. It is hard to see some subtle nuance those things. It is pay for favors.
Trump is bucking up and supporting authoritarian monarchies in the Gulf
While at the same time Trump is trying to destroy Harvard University here at home
and you morans think you are patriotic
Yep, Patriots we are. Maybe Harvard should get back to proper teaching and not politics. We know who the Saudis are. It’s who Harvard is that makes one wonder?
