Trump Economic Adviser Has Ridiculous Defense for Lack of Trade Deals

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

First there were “concepts of a plan,” then there were tariff trade “subdeals,” and now, per National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, there are trade deals “in principle.”

The Trump administration is running out of time on its self-imposed 90-day deadline to craft 90 trade agreements in the wake of Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff pitch. By mid-April, the administration claimed it had more than a dozen potential deals in the works with nations eager to sort out their trade arrangements with the United States. But since then, the White House has had practically nothing positive to show for its drastic economic overhaul.

“You told us even before ‘Liberation Day’ that you had 15 countries that were on the brink of making a deal. It’s been nearly two months and you’ve had one deal, so what is the hold up?” asked a reporter.

“There’ve been a whole bunch of deals,” Hassett laughed.

Concepts of deals

1. Where's the beef? MIA...like logic and reason in this administration. MAGA-- Morons Are Governing America.

That last bit was from a sign at this last weekend's Hands Off! march in Shillington, PA. I can't take credit but I do like it. Although, governing is a pretty strong word given the lame a**ed way they are doing things.

2. The intricacy and beauty of the art of the deal

Is too complex in its simplicity to be understood by people who ask questions for a living. We have hundreds of deals being worked on right now by our crack team of deal makers. One thing you can be sure of, if these deals fail it won’t be the trump administrations fault.

4. What a dishonest dumbass

"So you don't think the deal with China counts as a deal?" Hey, if Trump wants to count that as a deal, then so be it but it would qualify as the worst trade deal in history - Trump drops tariff rates on China by more than 100% in exchange for absolutely nothing! What a deal!
