Think about what it says that France, South Korea, China, etc., are all pushing back on — or outright denying — the timeline for trade deals from the President and Treasury Secretary.

The general public is going to be very rudely awakened when shelves start going empty (1-2 more weeks probably), and they are going to have a lot of questions for this buffoon and his administration
Most of us here are just waiting with 🍿 for the people that don’t pay attention to figure it out
I started in December. Been keeping necessities stocked and replace when I use to keep a buffer. Works well for dry/canned foods, household paper goods, medicines, etc
What is a bigger problem are tools, tires, clothing that will see supply shock that you don’t know you need until something breaks
It simply says what we have known for years.
He is a liar.
No surprise.
He lies every single time he speaks.
The question is:
how much destruction will he wreak before Congress sees he must be impeached and removed?
It is just showing the world this imbecile is a fool and a liar asking other things. Clearly and collectively, the world is not as stupid as the MAGAs, the world can see through it
This idiot manufactures his own problems and then claims victory when he fixes them
Disgraceful that this dumb trump regime can only destroy and doesn’t even care enough to do what is necessary to fix their mess. These are our lives, finances and businesses they are playing with so recklessly.
It would be a great time to put him into a room and do a deal. I bet he would sign anything just to say he has one no matter how bad it was for America
The Trump administration confirmed this morning that trade negotiations with China have been limited a low-level White House staffer haggling over the price of a large Shrimp and Broccoli at a local takeout spot.
A repeat of the Brexit farce with a similar outcome in the offing
Cambridge Econometrics found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lower exports and 16% lower imports, than it would have had been.
Small beer compared to what's coming
The Republican administration is absolutely incompetent. Every Republican owns this disastrous compilation of faux finish idiots believing themselves smart as they destroy everything around them.
Nobody but maga believe him or a single one of his loser administration members AT ALL ANYMORE.
The obvious lies believed by his jugheads hurt our souls to see.
Human beings, AMERICANS!, should not be this stupid, but here we are.
Shame on every one of you MAGAs.
MAGA: “This is all part of Trump’s multi-dimensional chess negotiations you couldn’t begin to understand.”
World: “Whatever. We’ll learn to get along without you.”
Trump thinks he's smarter than everyone, that he can lie, bully and bluff the world into submission. He literally describes it in Shart of the Deal. It isn't working and he's got nothing. Nothing. Just anger and vengeance. He's going to lose - we are going to lose.
Not surprised. Why should they make deals with the man who is 1) merely making it up as he goes along 2) has no sound reasoning for what he is doing 3) doesn’t understand how trade and tariffs work 4) keeps no deal he makes 5) waffles when pressed or folds under conflict. I wouldn’t either.
to VERY publically say that the president is full of shit and they are not intimidated or in a hurry in any way. Less than 100 days for America to lose 100% credibility and power- impressive!
You have to appease Trump on air. But why must CNBC keep asking who is telling the truth, Trump or Xi? You know the answer. Were they really eating people's cats and dogs? Why could Trump not tell us when he talked with Xi? Why can CNBC not just tell the plain truth when Trump is caught in lie.
As Trump's tariffs increasingly cripple the US economy, Trump's response is to lie about tariff negotiations. Seems he is hopeful of pushing the fault either on to his tariff negotiators or foreign nations. Lucky for him, the MAGA cult will buy all of it.
Incompetency leads to coverup through lies and diversion. He is a failure on every aspect of his Presidency. Republicans want to stop progress for the people and rollback to times of white male dominance. Is that the future you want for yourself, your children and grandchildren. Then VOTE!
This dumb SOB got elected twice....but only as a nonincumbent. Way easier to attack then to defend a horrible record. And it is no coincidence that this misogynist sexual abuser won his races against female candidates.
If you’re an American reading this your first thought should be this is the difference between a function media and corp owned monopoly to elect the gop. So don’t parrot their taking points. So sick of Dems bad gop good bs. Let’s all stop spreading the lies.
This real-time push back and denial is evidence of the escalation. In Trump 1.0, foreign leaders would silently roll their eyes. Not any more. His ability to control the narative is gone.
It is very simple.
1. If Putin opens his mouth, he is lying.
2. If Putin's orange stooge opens his mouth, he is lying.
The lies are simple so the inverse of what is said = truth.
The entire world laughs at the Orange Buffoon and the jaw-droppingly innane and hopeless GOP Senators that keep bolstering his stupidity and keep this psycho in power.
Has the world ever witnessed such weakness of men?
The optics of empty shelves US stores would be devastating for Trump, so other countries might be tempted to wait a bit to make sure that happens before they start serious negotiations. Or they could use it as leverage to get better deals.
Well his regime also said there are hundreds of countries they will deal with eventually but there’s less than 200 countries on earth. They aren’t educated people telling absurd lies to their even less educated base.
Trump and his clueless Treasury secretary are for rude awakening. Foes and former allies are uniting against the moronic trade wars and tariffs Trump started and will push hard united against.
Trump will be exposed as liar and complete imbecile working against America and its people.
The smartest thing they can do is nothing. Just trade around the U.S. for a while.
President Trump has crippled ALL of the U.S. global trade, and damaged only a fraction of theirs. They can wait as the damage to the US economy will be faster and more severe than the damage to anyone else's.
The amount of countries that chose to work with this evil man and kissing his ass has also helped ruin an advanced world order. A bunch of men have destroyed peaceful countries just to cause famine, exploitation of any minerals because they worship power. All despicable actions
Just call it what it is. Trump is lying to the American people and the rest of the world. How can he think everyone except MAGA won’t call him on his “deals”? He gets more delusional by the day.
It’s quite a turn of events when the president of your own country doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt with a trade dispute with China and former European allies.
I implore the media get out and feed me stories of small business-owning Trump voters losing everything due to tariffs. Please. I/we deserve this guilty pleasure given everything we've had to endure in this abominable chapter.
If I’m not wrong, China and Canada are the only 2 countries actually fighting back with reciprocal tariffs. The other countries are either like India and Vietnam, trying to reduce tariffs on American stuff or have offered a deal (EU) that Donald ignores, or just doing nothing (Heard Island)
He cannot say anything concerning him that is the least critical. How about, wow that was a mistake. I won't waste money on planes to Florida every weekend to make up the budget shortfall caused by this and the firing/re-hiring fiasco.
It says his entire “admiration” lies as easily as they breathe and anyone who believes a word coming out of their mouths is a gullible idiot. It’s a job requirement in this regime.
It’s just more proof of the lying of the Administration. Duh.
When will you at @cnbc.com start calling this out? You guys keep bashed Biden for everything. Now Trump has the environment a mess and you cannot stop fawning over him and his policies.
As much as I hate to see my country get damaged like this it seems like the only path to making the conservative voters see what an absolute cluster-fuck this administration is.
Trump has cried wolf too many times and the whole world knows he’s a weak pitiful person. The only power he has is the power our country gives him. It’s time to take it back.
While he continues to be the little orange boy that cries tariffs, the rest of the world is strengthening our alliances with our trading partners. Sorry America, we’re just not into you.
He left out the US's largest trading partner. Canada. Our PM told Trump to take a number, we'll get back to you later. In about 6 weeks, after the election,if we feel like it. Canada is in no hurry.
I can virtually guarantee no one of import will do a deal with him in 90 days even if they could achieve it. They have zero reason to give him a win or bow to his timelines. And they will get better deals by making his bronzer run. Worst negotiator ever.
tRump IS LYING! He always does. When asked "who" they were meeting with, his response was, "The who doesn't matter". Again, CAUGHT IN HIS OWN LIES; but the ring of deceit is closing in on him. He can only twist and turn so far before the entire mess crashes in on his master plan.
They’re blowing smoke up his a** over his stupid claims. He talks like he’s got control and expects everyone to go along (or else!) but people are finally realizing they can call his bluff and he’ll fold. Just like every school yard bully in history. Mr Bone Spurs is a coward at heart.
From this end of the hemisphere. We're not hurting much that I can see. Just new industrial relationships being made. There may be some industrial flight from the US as some companies try to fulfill their contracts to EU customers. Else, how shall they pay off their own debts.

Most people learn this in grade school.
It’s been a slow bleed for everyone since Reagan when they brainwashed everyone into believing “Greed is good”.
Even if democrats go back in, we will continue bleeding unless we get democratic leaders like AOC or Bernie.

Zero respect for him and all see him for what he is: low-class, stupid, and boorish.
He and entire cabal of liars are UNFIT
Reality - 90 lies in 90 seconds.
Our leader is intelligent and an economic genius. The opposite of the orange one.
The sooner he's out of office, the sooner we get back to decency.
Collapse is a far more likely...and deserved...outcome.
AKA - #TrumpIsALyingPOS & #TrumpIsAEconMoron - what else would you expect from a narcissist criminal who does the bidding of #Putin & #MBS
I hope you Wall St pigs realize you can’t have a criminal involved w/ the 🇺🇸 Economy

It's sad to say but I won't believe there is a trade deal with any country until I see it announced by the other country.
1. If Putin opens his mouth, he is lying.
2. If Putin's orange stooge opens his mouth, he is lying.
The lies are simple so the inverse of what is said = truth.

No one in their right mind is going to make a durable trade deal with MAGA GOP.
It means that you cannot trust a word of the partisan propaganda coming out of Trump’s White House.

PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!
In truth, there are ways to fix the trading regime — enforceable labor, environmental and tax regimes — but Trump has no interest in those reforms.
When will you at @cnbc.com start calling this out? You guys keep bashed Biden for everything. Now Trump has the environment a mess and you cannot stop fawning over him and his policies.
for his endless lies and slandering!
Maybe they are just a pair of Jokers.
Say it ain’t so!
Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t work with stable nations that wield considerable economic power.
The Trump Administration is outright lying to America?!
Noooooooo
😐 I am shocked.
Who could have anticipated that.
World: “Yes, Donald, we certainly are."
