90 tariff deals in 90 days

With a little over a week left, it appears the Trump administration has only one and a half agreements in place.

But...it's the biggest brightest awesomest incrediblest amazingest deal...EVER! And only Trump could have done it.

Anyone who says otherwise is suffering from ... dare I say ...

Country of _____: "Oh No! Please don't do that, Mr. Trump.
IF the United States won't allow the import of our goods
- we're gonna go broke!"

Trump: "Then you'd better LOWER the tariffs we're paying!"

Country of _____: "Ok - we'll do what you ask!"

Trump: "Great! ... So, we have a good agreement on that!"

... And --- Just Like That - a good agreement with a country.
And IF whatever country there violates the agreement - then
President Trump is back with the tariff threat! ...

... See? ... Salty Knows! ...

No, Salty. You are incorrect.


And the worst part may be there is no stabilization of the tariff rates. They can change at any time. A disaster for any business trying to plan their costs and inventory.

the tariff "rates" are NOT stable and just as fluent
as me example - Trump and the said country could
surely re-negotiate the agreement terms at any time.

And it seem that President Trump just may have
ninety (90) - or more - of those agreement situations
that I mention ALREADY accomplished.

... WINNING! ...

And no....there have not been many tariff deals. You are just making that up in your salt mind.

The "list" is pathetic.

A limited deal with the UK

A "truce" with China

The WSJ says Viet Nam may come soon.

Otherwise, they are calling the Japan negotiations so far an "Epic Fail."

And we only need....around 88 more by July 9 to reach the goal.

.

July 8 will be the best T.A.C.O Tuesday ever.

... Schoolhouse lesson now in session, lads:

... Hmmmm... Where's the Negative impact on consumer prices??
There's been precious little. ... The Trump administration
tariff decisions have NOT resulted in wide-spread inflation.

... There's some $121 Billion in tariff revenues since the beginning
of the fiscal year... And the agreements surely reflect a broader
policey shift with President Trump. ... Trade agreements that
prioritize strategic alliances with other nations - which are
based on shared values of free enterprise, honesty, and fair play.

... And here's a few of those key factours:

Diversified supply chains that reduce reliance on adversarial nations
who don't share the same interests as America and its trade partners.

And reshoring areas of manufacturing - bringing jobs and production
back to the US - while offouring tax incentives for companys
that expand business here in America.

... Some of the tariffs have to be fluid - as I already mentioned,
to avoid the overburden cost associated with essential imports.
Another reason why all of the tariff agreements are not announced.
As they can change from week to week.

... Nice to see MORE Federal revenue - which can lower debt and
thus provide greater economic stability.

... I surely hope THIS explains a good bit about Trump's tariffs...
