I love how Rubio always manages to look like he’s choking on his own entrails.

Could be , or leaning forward to let one rip
I guess that what we can expect from the SPV is something similar to the Chinese commitment to import pork meat and other “great farm products” – they won’t do it, and it won’t matter because everyone has moved on.
Exactly. This exactly.
I agree that there’s little substance beyond the phot-op. The main benefit may be that we are close to the resolution of all these tariff issues and the capital markets can then price it in and we can all move on.
Golf clap for the Japanese — for engineering their own Fox-con. You can’t negotiate with a bad faith fraud, so don’t bother. Promise the moon and stars — “$400 billion? Let’s make it 500! Or why not ‘over 550?'” — give him a bruising chronic venous handshake and promise to gold plate downtown Kyoto in his honor (starting in about two weeks).
How long until these concepts of a deal are priced in concepts of a grift such as the Trump meme coin?
Most likely correct. A quick listen to a Japanese language news broadcast revealed much doubt that our president can be trusted.
I mean I am sure the Japanese are excited to begin mass purchases of Ford F-150s
I know. And to think: That — the F-150 — is actually the best we have to offer.
Called an MOU. Memorandum of understanding. Not worth a plug nickel. Used in foreign countries so Americans can claim they have a great DEAL.
I get the cabinet members being there, but why is Virginia Foxx sitting there in the front row?
No doubt her reward for chairing the Committee that blocked the amendment calling for release of the Epstein files. (At least until the DOJ could “talk” to Ghislaine Maxwell which Mar-A-Lardo knows nothing about, although he wishes her well).
Typical Trump deal. The MAGA rank and file have no clue about making an actual binding “deal” on trade, or anything else for that matter. You couldn’t do a real trade deal by the end of the year, let alone 80 or them. This sort of thing is not binding or real in any context except that black and white photo. The board showing all the “done” deals has been printed since before any “negotiations” were begun. This whole thing is a sham and will cost more than it brings in.
Of course the real point of this is to distract the base from Epstein.
