Uh huh, ok:
Trump: “I’m telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. ‘Please, please, Sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything, sir.”

I think Trump is bored with the whole tariff thing. It wasn’t as much fun as he thought it was going to be. He wanted to bend the world to his will and it turns out it’s not that easy. So now he’s just going to issue edicts, hoping that some will be desperate enough to come crawling back while he lets the rest ride. He honestly believes that everything always works out for him no matter what and he’s not wrong.
The art of the deal is really just hoping you can intimidate people into doing what you want them to do. That’s what Roy Cohn taught him. But it never really worked for him. If he hadn’t had his daddy’s money and a talent for hype he’d be some old guy living in a tract house on Staten Island eating junk food and yelling at the TV. Instead, he’s some old guy living in the White House eating junk food and yelling at the TV — and half of America thinks it’s brilliant and the whole world is forced to deal with it.
I’ll just leave this here:

Trump says all the other countries are kissing his ass begging for trade deals. His Treasury Secretary says the other countries have not been contacting us. You cant believe a word these morons say.
As Billy Martin, the old Yankees manager once said about Steinbrenner and Reggie Jackson , ones a natural born liar and the other is a self made one.

Whatever he says you have to assume he is lying until proven otherwise.
It's amazing what these people allow themselves to believe
trump's fraud convictions and the number of bankruptcies must figure heavily in his conclusions ...

Trump Threatens ‘ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff’ on ‘Anti-American’ BRICS Nations

President Donald Trump has threatened an “ADDITIONAL 10% tariff” on nations aligning with what he called the “Anti-American policies of BRICS” with “no exceptions.”
BRICS, originally an economic bloc of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has grown into a wider geopolitical force in recent years, expanding in 2024 to include Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the UAE.
With more than half the global population now represented, the group has emerged as a challenge to U.S.-led economic dominance — and has called for reform of institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Trump’s tariff barrage comes as BRICS leaders meet in Rio de Janeiro, calling U.S. duties a “threat” to global economic stability.
Trump’s announcement came late Sunday ahead of the July 9 deadline for new tariff agreements:
Moments later, the president posted again , this time taking a more aggressive tone on BRICS:
While negotiations had been ongoing, the administration has now moved the implementation date up to Aug. 1, when tariffs will kick in for countries that haven’t struck a deal. Only the U.K. and Vietnam are currently in the clear.
How about we get the 90 deals in 90 days thing taken care of before we go threatening more tariffs.
This all just seems to be a shell game.
On Monday, Donald Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on Japan and South Korea , in letters shared to Truth Social that were identical in all but their addressee and mentions of the two countries.
“Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal,” both letters state. Beginning on August 1, a 25 percent tariff will be placed on “any and all [of the countries’] products sent into the United States,” which will be separate from sectoral tariffs, or those specifically applied to products from certain industries.
The copy-paste letters state that the U.S. trade deficit with both countries “is a major threat to our Economy and, indeed, our National Security!”
The letters also warn, “If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25% that we charge,” and the tariffs “may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country.”
Anyone who isnt confused by all this bullshit hasnt been paying attention.
BRICS promotes advantageous relationships and beneficial deals between and among its members. It operates OUTSIDE of the USA and I guess that's a threat to Trump, because in his opinion the world MUST revolve around and pay homage to the USA. He says BRICS nations are anti-USA, which is how he interprets their not kowtowing to him since his imposing debilitatiing tariffs on them, and their reacting to American hegemony in its isolationist and unilateral policies. His impositon of a new 10% tariff on BRICS nations is going to backfire on him and become a detriment to the American people - yet ANOTHER detriment to the American people because of Trump's policies and actions.
