BS, the BBB bill was voted on in Nov 21, BEFORE the height of inflation, but lest we forget, it had proposals that are popular with the majority of Americans.

This is not true.
I am not going to claim to trust China I know that much.
I think China is at the table. They are not overt people and they like to do things behind the scenes. They already stated they would come to the table if Trump treated them with respect. I think it's why you dont see him smack talking about China on social media yet. If things fall apart he will let us know and take it to the court of public opinion.
From the times article:
Your trade adviser, Peter Navarro, says 90 deals in 90 days is possible. We're now 13 days into the point from when you lifted the reciprocal, the discounted reciprocal tariffs. There's zero deals so far. Why is that?
No, there’s many deals.
When are they going to be announced?
You have to understand, I'm dealing with all the companies, very friendly countries. We're meeting with China. We're doing fine with everybody. But ultimately, I've made all the deals.
Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them?
I’ve made 200 deals.
You’ve made 200 deals?
100%.
Can you share with whom?
Because the deal is a deal that I choose. View it differently: We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it. They don't have to do business with the United States, but I set a tariff on countries. Some have been horrible to us. Some have been okay. Nobody's been great. Nobody's been great. Everybody took advantage of us. What I'm doing is I will, at a certain point in the not too distant future, I will set a fair price of tariffs for different countries. These are countries—some of them have made hundreds of billions of dollars, and some of them have made just a lot of money. Very few of them have made nothing because the United States was being ripped off by every, almost every country in the world, in the entire world. So I will set a price, and when I set the price, and I will set it fairly according to the statistics, and according to everything else. For instance, do they have the VAT system in play? Do they charge us tariffs? How much are they charging us? How much have they been charging us? Many, many different factors, right. How are we being treated by that country? And then I will set a tariff. Are we paying for their military? You know, as an example, we have Korea. We pay billions of dollars for the military. Japan, billions for those and others. But that, I'm going to keep us a separate item, the paying of the military. Germany, we have 50,000 soldiers—
I’m just curious, why don’t you announce these deals that you’ve solidified?
I would say, over the next three to four weeks, and we're finished, by the way.
You’re finished?
We’ll be finished.
Oh, you will be finished in three to four weeks.
I’ll be finished. Now, some countries may come back and ask for an adjustment, and I'll consider that, but I'll basically be, with great knowledge, setting—ready? We're a department store, a giant department store, the biggest department store in history. Everybody wants to come in and take from us. They're going to come in and they're going to pay a price for taking our treasure, for taking our jobs, for doing all of these things. But what I'm doing with the tariffs is people are coming in, and they're building at levels you've never seen before. We have $7 trillion of new plants, factories and other things, investment coming into the United States. And if you look back at past presidents, nobody was anywhere near that. And this is in three months.
Will you call President Xi if he doesn’t call you?
No.
You won’t?
Nope.
Has he called you yet?
Yep.
When did he call you?
He's called. And I don't think that's a sign of weakness on his behalf.
But you would think it’s a sign of weakness if you called him?
I don’t–I just look—
And that coalition failed because they announced tariffs on EVERYONE. Japan is in talks with China right now, Taiwan as well...
So you have determined he failed 100 days into his presidency and before 1 trade deal is even struck
there are no deals. he's lying just ask his trade advisor who responded to question about this statement from Trump and said: Theres parts of deals.
Thank you morons for electing this nursing home escapee.From the times article:

Well it has to be inflation higher than 9% because you didnt call Biden a failure.
They are working on deals.
lol you know its going to take another 4 weeks before this actually starts showing up? If he doesn't relent, like now, and if China just says ok dude thanks we will go back to before, it will still show up in inflation. So, you are on borrowed time my friend. Remember that.
lol sure buddy: In a world where if anyone disagrees with the President, they were wrong. The people became disillusioned with the truth and only became obsessive with defending their President. Thus, he could do no wrong.
I already know that.
Disillusioned with the truth.
Joe Biden didn't do anything this stupid in his whole life. Hell I haven't either. Theres being stupid, senile etc, and then theres tearing up 100s of years of trade agreements and ****ing up the world economy. We better hope he can just back track back into the status quos.
my grocery prices are still expensive, more expensive. Thought trump was going to fix it on day 1?
I'm calling you a liar.
We were referencing the Bessent conference this morning. Or at least i was.
I interpret it to mean we have the framework for 200 deals. And maybe they do.
