If I’m a foreign government right now—the one lesson that I’ve learned at this point is that there is no durable agreement to be made with this administration.
Any assurance, policy, or deal will be arbitrarily annulled by a random 3 am post. No point in expending energy negotiating with this.

Tariffs are paused? Wait no they aren’t. Now they are again. Now there’s a new demand. Now they’re unfairly suing American companies. You thought it was 2% NATO spending? No, now it’s 5%.
No reason to spend your attention span on this.

“Wait it out” is not a strategy, it’s capitulation.
Untrustworthy, no integrity & cruelty is always the point.
The mild downturn in the markets earlier this week was caused by those who knew what was coming today and sold in advance.
It’s all a horror show.
I think the repercussions are far greater and longer lasting for the credibility of the US.
But no. The median American voter is ignorant, spoiled, callous, self-destructive, and utterly untrustworthy. I won't forget this time
His word is worthless.
It's also not just this administration, the next one only has a finite term before an equally lawless regime could be put back in place.
a) stop talking to the Trump admin often - force them to grovel
b) stop meeting Trump face-to-face - SA leader proved that
c) stop commenting on the US
d) push trade with other trading blocks or countries to replace the US
but so amazing how many think they will be the only one he doesnt throw under the bus
That will then happen with every subsequent administration. No one can do business with an entity totally changing it stripes, not to mention soul, every four years
Certainly the UK in its negotiations seemed to be puckering its lips to 'kiss his ass' as Trump so pleasingly put it, but I don't think we ever made actual contact. That 'comprehensive deal' was a nothingburger.
We are realigning away from the USA forming closer...
So the tactic seems to be delay. Nod, smile, give Trump the odd bauble, tell...
We're taking advantage of a brain drain, of mistrust that's leading to lower investment in the USA, the fragility of the dollar as the global reserve currency, generally picking up what advantages America is throwing...
The American Century is already over. Trump killed it in three months flat. America will emerge from his presidency with America still important of course - Rome didn't burn in a day - but no longer preeminent.
Now we're just hoping we can build something better.
However, I might have learned that favorable results can be obtained by obeisance and flattery of tRump.
Trump season one had the biggest business exodus since Reagans second term.
2025 may break Reagans record.
Companies hate chaos worse than taxes.
You lower your head and they'll just take the opportunity to kick you in the face.
Harvard, Columbia, Judges, SCOTUS, a few states at this point...

The only ones doing deals are basically giving BRIBES (think planes, dinners with Kings)
@bsky.app we need an EDIT option!
"Regime".
The President's continual pump and dump stock market manipulation is creating chaos that rules out any durable agreements.

Airplanes!
Once an Airplane Exchange happens, you are golden.
If TN, MO or NC want FEMA assistance from the storms, they need to buy Trump an Airplane!
Nations can not gamble with their national security. The USA will be a very long time being trusted again after you all come to your senses and it will never be what it was.
And everyone is now pulling out the money from the US, because nobody wants to be ripped off.

Mission accomplished.
The blue states have the power to remove Trump.
Bribes work.
Classical values, art and science cannot and will not be "deleted," when a product line is discontinued or a company
Consider THAT before you vote for a Red cap, in a Red State for a blood Red Republican. MAKE them prove THEIR loyalty to you, your community, your values.
I don't hate Republicans, but Kinzinger
Every investor, every buyer of treasuries, every foreigner doing business in the US must weigh the decision if he continues or if he tries to find markets in other countries.
Every government on the planet would rather work with their mortal enemies to disentangle themselves from us than deal with this fickle bullshit.
What’s next from Trump & Hegseth? Declare war on those who refuse to deal?
With this crazy SOB leading our country, who knows?
Deny all Visas.
Until he’s removed.
It does NOT behave like and is NOT an administration
Please call it what it is and do not normalize it as what it is NOT.
THANK YOU
of human dignity.
Who is to say another moron won't be elected and put the kibosh on ANY agreement?
"He keeps other world leaders on their toes."
=
"World leaders have discovered that 'no' is a safer answer than 'yes'. This has obvious downstream implications for American influence."
Trump thinks it’s because he’s the winning overlord.
Nope.
We are just staying clear of the patient until the straight jacket arrives. 😁
