When Trump talks about days from a deal, better write them off as hearsay he got from some imaginary character in his demented mind during his sleep the night before, nothing else.
When has Trump ever did things on schedule as gloated, always having extensions made over and over, corrections made later over and over, new terms added or removed over and over, sometimes one step forward and two steps back. USA citizens called him TACO for a good reason.
Trump is always just talking to himself, making deals with himself. All over social media, the talk is that Trump has been made a fool of by Putin and Xi, manhandled by Netanyahu, and yet he thinks he has the upper hand. Those on the upper hand do not show any desperation for a meeting with his opponents but just wait for opponents to reach out to him. Does Trump's behavior show he is on the upper hand?
Now, even South Korea is not bending over under Trump's threat of paying the US$350 billion investment upfront. South Korean workers who were arrested like criminals by ICE are not even interested in returning to work on the Hyundai plant.
Trump is so stupid that he is not even aware that he is the butt of insults delivered by Lee Jae-myung in the Oval Office earlier, who asked Trump if he is going to build a Trump Tower and casino in North Korea when the time comes to talk to Kim Jung Un. Everyone saw the insult, except Trump and his sycophants.
Byte Dance is not selling the whole global reach of Tik Tok, only the USA operation. This is just to disable Tik Tok dispensing information about the genocides in Gaza that USA citizens are being cut off. This is one area that Israel wants to censor, as it is instrumental to its continued support by the USA Congress.
Ironically, USA is giving US$20 billion aid to Argentina when it is facing shutdown right now. The question is how Argentina is going to repay that loan, knowing that it is even unable to service its IMF loan taken ages ago. It is no more than throwing borrowed money after equally bad money.

About the aid to Argentina, it is all part of Trump's 'Art of the Deal', that only Trump knows how it operates. Besides bankrupting USA, Trump is about to bankrupt Argentina - his seventh and eighth bankruptcy to be added to his feathered cap.
ReplyDeleteYet, the other clowns in his administration are urging him on, cheering him to push the USA over edge of the cliff. Instead of advising him and correcting him to take the correct path, they are just fawning and massaging his ego right in front of him to garner loyalty points.
Manufacturing is not moving into the USA when tariffs are making raw materials like steel and aluminum too expensive for making things inside the USA to be meaningfully competitive. Job creation is not what is as reported but just a mirage that is soon to disappear months down the road. We now know job creation is a gas balloon being blown up into grotesque proportions for boasting purposes. Other countries are not paying the tariffs and internally USA consumers are footing the bill. Tens of billions are being collected from USA consumers, not from exporters in other countries. More fun is on the cards as the USA moves nearer to the end of the year.
Trump is in desperate straits as farmers are clueless how to deal with agricultural produce like soya beans and corn that have just been harvested but lying in warehouses and silos waiting to rot instead of having been shipped out. Trump is now pressuring China to buy more, but why would China oblige when Trump is out to destroy China. Buying from Russia and Brazil is now more meaningful and caring for countries inside BRICS supporting de-dollarization. China will never let such an opportunity be hijacked by helping Trump out of his trouble. Why help a country that is not grateful for the help as during the 2008 financial crisis, and who has turned around to do China in. Only stupid countries will do that.
