So, we are really supposed to believe the way out of the tariff debacle is Trump negotiating new individual trade deals with hundreds of incredibly pissed off countries simultaneously? Truly, how f--ling insane is that? THIS IS THE PLAN?????? - ThreadSky

Just look at the enormous success the UK had with the same plan around Brexit.

(no, don't)

wilkos.bsky.social•66 days ago

No, the plan is to give Trump a platform to make unlimited daily proclamations of the tremendous deals he’s negotiating with the world - thereby sating his ego and need to constantly drive media cycles.

fedup90611.bsky.social•66 days ago

There are no negotiations, he’s lying again. He just wants to say anything that will bring more stability to Wall Street. He’s playing games. And yes he’s insane.

gailwaldby.bsky.social•66 days ago

Negotiations = Work
Trump ≠ Work

myaidog.bsky.social•65 days ago

When you put an ignorant felon & failed businessman in office that’s what you get!

suzame.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yup The Mara-Lardo accord. Surely Ron Vara had to have given him that brilliant idea.

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

It’s called extortion…

The goal is to enrich Trump…

jmspence91.bsky.social•66 days ago

It’s a “concept of a plan” just like he wrote the book, “Art of the Deal”. Taking the Barnum and Bailey “a sucker is born every minute” to a galactic level 🤡 🤥

immanentnow.bsky.social•66 days ago

i don't see how "we have the cards" against the whole world

goestoeleven.bsky.social•66 days ago

Take China. You don't have the cards at all. China is as they say willing to fight to the death. China can do that because it controls its population with an iron fist. When American's suffer, and they will, particularly those that can only afford goods made offshore, its going to get ugly.

immanentnow.bsky.social•66 days ago

yeah, i think this is all very foolish. not against tariffs and some protectionism at all, but this is the stupidest trade policy i could ever dream up, it feels like satire written to parody idiotic american culture by some european writer, lol

goestoeleven.bsky.social•66 days ago

Every country has national interests to protect, which is why trade is complicated. For instance Canada has supply management in its dairy industry and can't allow totally free trade in that area without jeopardizing its domestic supply. US protects sugar, pickup trucks and other things.

The PLAN is that he collects kickbacks from each as he goes.

dwebbie.bsky.social•66 days ago

TOTALLY f-ing insane.
Bottom line…he doesn’t care if we lose our retirement. He doesn’t care about US. It’s all about attention on him and how great he is.
I didn’t vote for him or for this. He’s gotta go…I can’t take 4 years of this.

lisalass.bsky.social•66 days ago

And when will he find the time with all his golf tournaments he is playing in?

chrisgalea.bsky.social•66 days ago

They have no plan except chaos

m-east52.bsky.social•66 days ago

Trump has concepts of a plan.

seadem.bsky.social•66 days ago

But the stupids will believe it and regurgitate it.

singaporemom.bsky.social•66 days ago

They said they’re in contact with about 50 countries who are probably calling to say “what are you doing”!

louisamiller.bsky.social•66 days ago

Well, c'mon, he'll have Navarro and Lutnick to help him. 🥺

reichhol.bsky.social•66 days ago

Is it really that different from canceling our nuclear non-proliferation agreement with Iran and then demanding that Iran enter into a nuclear non-proliferation agreement with us?

aviflyte.bsky.social•66 days ago

I encourage him to go to Snake Island and negotiate in person.

italy24.bsky.social•66 days ago

Bet his negotiations with the penguins will go well

drdavegoldberg.bsky.social•66 days ago

Or pretend to.

jerdem.bsky.social•66 days ago

How else can you set up the bribes? Sorry, “deals”.

ogsaigonbond.bsky.social•66 days ago

xxriotgrrrrrlxx.bsky.social•66 days ago

No plan. Just Trump bloviating and throwing tantrums. Enjoy your $10 avocados, MAGA. You’ve earned them.

lovedogs8.bsky.social•66 days ago

It's extortion and bribery.

bewellgroomed.bsky.social•66 days ago

These “negotiations” aka *the vig*

justmooselady.bsky.social•66 days ago

'Fraid so, Simon.
🥺😢

siamesecats.bsky.social•66 days ago

We are also supposed to believe that China is desperate for a deal, begging for one, while Trump simultaneously admits they haven't called him. https://bsky.app/profile/simonwdc.bsky.social/post/3lmd223tdy22m

gaindivisible.bsky.social•66 days ago

It was always the plan. Cause significant economic pain, and when anyone comes crawling for relief, sure, they just have give him something in return. This has always been about control, submission, fealty and fear.

primalskies.bsky.social•66 days ago

Pretty sure the penguins won’t be in a negotiating mood

murraymouse.bsky.social•66 days ago

They don’t know what the word plan means much less how to formulate an objective, a plan to pursue it and then to execute it. They are operating on unadulterated id.

moviefanforever.bsky.social•66 days ago

Chris Murphy nailed it on what the tariffs are really about.

Trump stupidly wants each country's imports and exports to balance without taking into account most countries have a third our population and a sixth our GDP.

susubrooks.bsky.social•66 days ago

I don't think he's cares about actual negotiations. He just wants to hold court as all these countries come to him and beg, so he can string them along.

jamesbkane.bsky.social•66 days ago

In secret, no less. 😡

doctt.bsky.social•66 days ago

Just enough countries out of that whole list to extort $ for himself that he can launder with bitcoin, PACs, or real estate

rmunro.bsky.social•66 days ago

Negotiating = acceptable bribe

rwarrin.bsky.social•66 days ago

He negotiated the USMCA.

Look how well that's worked out.

jamesroberts.bsky.social•66 days ago

Speaking from Canada the level of pissed off is such that it's going to take more time than one Trump administration before we have any will to buy American, visit America or respect America.

lkc2025.bsky.social•66 days ago

There’s no plan. That’s why Republicans in Congress, including Rand Paul, need to get on board the bills to constrain the regime's destructive trade “policy.” Democrats need to make known everywhere that Republicans can stop this today if they want to.

skytati.bsky.social•66 days ago

While his home markets are crashing?

maryangelaperna.bsky.social•66 days ago

Here’s a typical MAGA influence peddler on TikTok.

Zero understanding of how & who negotiated NAFTA, or who caused the 2008 crash.

These are 💯 Bannon talking points
