Trump says the U.S. does not care about accessing foreign markets. "We don't care about their market. They want a piece of our market," he says.
The "deal" will be naming the "price that people are going to have to pay to shop in the United States."

The clinical terms for his deteriorating mental state use too many characters, so nuts will have to suffice.
It doesn't matter how much pencils cost if your bank account is empty.
you only get one guess.
Honestly, every economic step he's taking lands heavily on a rake
As long as he gets a bribe, he doesn't care what happens to USA.
It's a grift, like Trump steaks.
But they won't.

Trump is incapable of understanding the Middle Class, much less the impoverished. The USA is not a luxury Store for the Rich. It is a country of hard-working people who earn their money, didn't grow up rich and entitled, and learned that luxurious consumption does not buy happiness.
These countries aren't "shopping" in the United States.
They are selling to the people in the US.
Americans are the ones doing the "shopping."
but he obviously hasn't bothered reading the definition the dictionary provides, which isn't "a price countries pay to shop in another country."
No thanks.
If Trump wants to treat the US Market as some “outdoor shopping mall”, we can take our business elsewhere. Maybe the US does not need us.
Time will tell.
Canada can and will form other overseas partnerships based upon mutual respect.
Either way, I think the relationship, trust and reliance we have on the US has come to an end.
It’s a parting of ways…rip it off like a Band-aid.

So
Stupid.
Like. I know they exist, but how long is this exclusive luxury goods list?
And how many of those "luxury goods" are necessities?
Dude's so far removed from life here, as we are United States of WalMart.
no thanks
Details.
we know how THAT works.
On a scale of one to "North Korean soldier on the Ukraine front lines" . . .
I think he is going to find the world thinks him quite lacking.
America, will this be his seventh or eighth bankruptcy?
Drink!

So if Trumps “we don’t care you don’t have to shop”…..attitude is that….then he’s going to see a big downturn in GDP Q2
China has STOPPED selling
Raw minerals
He can conceive of no collaborative possibilities in any context. Everything is grift and bribe.
i.e. bribe me to lower the tariffs for imports from your country?
God my brain hates me for trying to make sense of this nonsense
By naming a "price" for countries to pay to "shop" in the US, it appears he wants some tariff to remain in place, and possibly with *everyone*
Jesus fucking Christ. No matter how much you polish them, the brain turds his mouth craps out will never turn into diamonds.
He literally has it all backwards.
Does he mean that other countries will "shop" the US market, and the pay the tariff? Is he just repeating the AI derived poster of stupidly calculated tariffs?
Why?
He can’t remember what he said yesterday, rambles incoherently. Talks about the US “selling” but tariffs are taxes on incoming products
He has never been particularly bright. Now he is clearly losing his facilities
What could go wrong?
Dropping demand, loss of import, wholesale, and retail jobs leading to falling GDP? Retaliatory tariffs? Spiraling recession?

If there was a public, honest, legal set of concessions Canada could make, surely he would know what that is prior to a face-to-face meeting where those concessions could be made. But he wants bribes in secret. So he says there's nothing Canada can do.
Are you sure he's not just a fucking idiot? That's my read.
Money to be paid personally to him, not the government of the U.S.
Don't over think this.
It's either a simple shakedown or he can't understand the simplest aspect of international trade...
(It's actually both)
Congress, stop this madness!
Serious question.
If countries are
Shopping
Here?
GTFO dumpy!
Stop sanewashing this Trump's incoherent idiocy.
Here is your answer.
Akin to acquiring a spot at the farmers' market.
In this case, the condition is that purchasers of your goods will pay a tax.
Has he convinced himself that it's the other countries that pay the tax?? Or he's confused himself?
Like buying them
He mentioned Canada again...
This screenshot is from a *2019* article.
That's not how it works, but it lines up with his saying other countries will come here to pay us to "shop."
So let's make American exports less competitive by adding a tax on them.
Brilliant.
He doesn't understand anything.
The "deals" he wants are essentially "agree to buy more of our stuff, and until you do the tariffs remain"
that's it.
We would appreciate the truth.
getting tired of no progress so he will come up with new numbers for each country. So these will be highly inflationary. So people will buy less because of the prices and US will
collect some tariffs. It won’t bring back any manufacturing at all.
Trump’s lack of understanding and addled thinking pretty much puts us at worst case scenario.
Businesses will not have any certainty as long as this idiot continues to plague the Oval Office.
Our PM is playing it perfectly; diversifying our economy away from US instability and trade with US in sectors that benefit us.
👍🇨🇦🍁
If we buy something from you, you benefit.
If you sell us something you benefit.
We are being screwed.
When you parse what he says using the ancient Greek dialectic method, nothing come out the other side. 🤷
What is this? A death march?
It's completely consistent with the reshaping of the economy to mercantilism, so clearly it isn't his idea.
USMCA was free trade deal FUHRER🍊 HIMSELF negotiated &signed (&took all credit for, crowed about).
Now he never shuts up abt what horrible, “unfair” deal it is, &starts TRADE WAR w an ALLY over. Threatens to invade 🇨🇦, says 🇺🇸 doesn’t need anything from us, insults us.🤮
He signed the fucking "new and improved NAFTA" and then came back into office and shit all over it.
India
US
EU
Deal signed, deal not signed, with this clown it makes no difference. Changes his mind more often than he changes the diaper.
No wonder he bankrupted two casinos
The man is demented. That much is clear. He has a form of dementia.
Just say what we all know — Trump was never a good businessman and he’s a threat to ALL US businesses.
The price countries will need to pay to the US is buying his crypto. Any not willing to will simply not be allowed to trade, or will not have their tariffs removed.
Don't try to make a box of sh*t gold by wrapping it. He's not worth the effort.
You literally should report that the president doesn’t make any sense and is unable to articulate a coherent strategy or plan.
The media is far too charitable with this insane freak.
It must be very hard reporting on it as though it's important news.
Congratulations on managing that at least.

This doesn't make any sense. None of it.
Novel as in "fictional"
How fucking stupid is your country?
A face saving method
You don’t pay tariffs to the country you buy from. You pay tariffs to the country you import to.
This is more Stalinist or Maoist than anything Democrats have ever proposed.
