TACO Trump Folds (Again): 90 Deals? Try 2
ACO Trump has done it again—blustered, threatened, and then backed down like a toddler caught bluffing. Remember the promise?
“90 trade deals in 90 days.” The actual result? 2. And now, predictably, he’s extending the deadline again, because the other 88 deals must’ve gotten lost in the mail. Or maybe they’re still being drafted on cocktail napkins in Mar-a-Lago.
Donny had big talk. Tariffs! Leverage! Letters going out! Trade war now!
But as the July 9 deadline hits and only two pitiful deals have materialized, the Trump administration is now promising to start sending notification letters on July 7 (how retro) and saying tariffs will kick in August 1—this time for real!
Sure.
Here’s the playbook:
Threaten massive tariffs.
Watch the markets flinch and trading partners laugh.
Deliver almost nothing.
Extend the deadline.
Declare victory anyway.
Donny’s whole trade doctrine is like a toddler holding a plastic hammer, yelling “I’ll break everything!”—until the adults call his bluff. Then he gives himself another timeout extension and claims it's all “going according to plan.”
What’s actually going according to plan? Inflation for Americans. International embarrassment. And zero strategic wins.
The emperor has no deals. Just press releases.
Trump says he plans to visit Texas 'probably Friday' after floods
Analysis of President Donny's Response to Texas Flooding
Assault on DemocracyRationale
President Donny's indifferent response to a major disaster illustrates a profound disconnect from his responsibilities as a leader. His prioritization of personal interests over public needs undermines the effectiveness of federal services, reflecting a callous disregard for governance that could erode public trust and undermine the rule of law.
After catastrophic flooding devastated Texas, President Donny has graciously informed the public that he might swing by the disaster zone… you know, “probably Friday” - if he can make it work.
Because Donny is a very busy man. There’s golf to play, rallies to rant at, and definitely no time for compassion or leadership. Texans are underwater, but Donny’s priorities are tee times and tantrums.
Let’s not sugarcoat this. Here’s the number of shits Donny gives about the Texas floods: 0
Just slightly less than then number of trade deals he's managed to achieve in the last 90 days.
O
Of course when quizzed by a reporter about whether his assault on federal services might have eaxascerbated the situation, Donny was all "Who me?". No of course not.
Reporter: “are you investigating whether some of the cuts to the federal government left key vacancies at the national weather service?”
Donny: “they didn’t, I’ll tell you, if you look at that, that water situation that all is and that was really the Biden setup. that was not our setup. but I wouldn’t blame Biden for it either.”
I mean they have a "water situation" which was also Biden's fault but not Biden's fault. Are you following this?
How fucking eloquent. A "water situation" that's killed 90 so far. I think the technical term is 'flood'.
So no, Donny isn’t rushing to Texas out of duty. He’s stalling because he doesn’t care. Not about the lives lost. Not about the homes destroyed. Not about the people begging for help while FEMA flounders under his gutted government.
But he might show up Friday. If the cart path’s not too muddy.
