Iโm sorry, but a 90-day agreement to reduce tariffs to rates higher than they were in January 2025 while the U.S. and China keep negotiating is not a โtrade dealโ.
One thing you should keep in mind as you read this nonsense is that he is absolutely clowning Congress. It could end this stupidity if it so desired, but I've rarely seen a collection of people as devoid of any independent will as Republicans in Congress.
Here's a story from 1921 about how Hollywood producers were opposed to increasing tariffs on foreign films because they feared other countries would respond with their own tariffs on American movies

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

We investigated and found that 19 Trump-branded real estate projects will be developed during Trump's presidency, nearly *tripling* his properties operating abroad.
