194 then? Although to the extent he’s negotiating against himself and losing I guess we can count the US

whodiddoneit.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe Trump made some states countries? You gotta wait and see

To be fair some of the tariffed locations aren’t real countries… like Diego Garcia, which is a joint US/UK military base 😅

He negotiated with himself at least 6 times..

danthiell.bsky.social•1 day ago

194 if you don't count Ukraine, whose sovereignty he wants to destroy.

And I'm negotiating with 2 dozen suitors about getting the Police Gazette up and running!

dappergander.bsky.social•1 day ago

You forgot about the penguins though

jaydeedouble.bsky.social•1 day ago

You’re obviously not counting the countries in Hollow Earth…. The Mole People will be recognized!

Peter Thiel considers himself a country, and I suspect he’s getting a really good deal!

forgetting the penguin island?

squindar.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is it possible (yes) that someone made up a "country", called the White House, asked for Mister Bessent & said hello I am trade representative for Neue Freedonia, I would like to make deal?

He is completely incompetent. He doesn't know what the Declaration of Independence is.

Wait, Bessent was only dealing with China according to the resident Rhodes Scholar in the cabinet

gemma-az.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe he was counting the uninhabited islands, too?

pwallinga.bsky.social•1 day ago

Somebody threw in some of the gray-area non-UN-but-somewhat-to-very-countrylike territories just to round the number out, so he now must negotiate with Palestine, Somaliland, Taiwan, Western Sahara, and... I don't fucking know. Transnistria? Northern Cyprus? Curaçao?

punkademic.bsky.social•1 day ago

Countries you’ve never even heard of. The media doesn’t like to talk about those.

moosedruid.bsky.social•1 day ago

It doesn't matter what number they make up.

The real number is zero.

The only negotiating going on is how much they need to funnel through his illegal crypto scheme to buy favorable treatment.

This is Heard and McDonald Islands erasure!!

Scott couldn't win a negotiation with a paper bag.

chitowndane.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, you and your 'facts'...pshaw 😒

art-cascadia.bsky.social•1 day ago

Of course, the five penguin island kingdoms haven't been admitted to the UN.

rinkogram.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did anyone ask the penguins?

swburak.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or the US troops on the BIOT?

HEROIC EXPLORER DONALD J. TRUMP DISCOVERS FIVE NEW COUNTRIES!!!!!!

hanoiski8.bsky.social•1 day ago

Doubt they’re negotiating with any countries. Only fools would trust them in negotiating.

bimbelon.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Time to defund the UN.

spiritequality.bsky.social•1 day ago

observablereality.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe he means the sub-countries lol

exponentialdave.bsky.social•1 day ago

Penguins formed their own nation, as did the seals on a rock in the ocean.

ozymandiphus.bsky.social•1 day ago

This tracks. 195 is three significant figures - two more than Trump has room for on any given topic. His thought process is "what makes me sound the best? We're doing deals with all the countries. How many countries are there? About 200. We're doing deals with 200 countries."
