  1. Well of course it was. President pinhead can’t help micromanaging anything.

  2. “Andy Laperriere, head of U.S. policy research at Piper Sandler, said Japanese officials are “describing it differently” when it comes to the investment plan. Japan’s leaders, he said, see the $550 billion figure as a cap and inclusive of government loan guarantees.”

    “Especially given that the Japanese believe they are being bullied into this commitment, they will almost certainly slow walk whatever investments they don’t think are in their own economic self-interest,” Laperriere wrote to clients in a Wednesday note.

  3. Of course this is published. For the normal people it would hint at the audacity of Donut Trip to alter what was worked upon by a team of professionals. For some however this cements/reaffirms the image of Donut as their messiah and prophet who cares for their interests with a human face and a human hand. They do not see the light in the professionals, and would only place trust into what they regard one among them. The reason? I dont know, im not even US American.

  4. Remember all of the investments and factories being built during his last term? The only ones that panned out. Were the ones already projected. Most companies and nations will just wait his term out. And move on.

  5. Tariffs in a nutshell: Short term pain leads to long term…. pain

  6. Canadas in the $300 range, and Japans in the $25 area, yet Orange says it’s the biggest deal ever.

    No surprise about the sharpie .

  7. At my job we aren’t even allowed to have pencils or paper because of the risk of bs like this.

  8. Dude thinks he works at a used car dealership making these deals lol

  9. Bruh this looks like something a highschooler prepared wtf

  10. Looks like something id hold up while giving a presentation in first year econ class. Size 300 font so his geriatric ass can still read it, and JAPAN INVEST AMERICA written at the top, lmao.

  11. Which means it’s not a real agreement. It’s just distraction and deception. Hold him accountable for his destruction of American democracy. That’s the real story.

  13. Magic Sharpie strkes again! No hurricane or trade deal is safe…

  14. Safe bet is Trump was lying again and exaggerating the numbers because 500 sounds way better than 400 billion and if you are going to go that far, why not make it 550 billion so you can say over half a trillion dollars. To that end, anyone think, the Japanese made a commitment to let the US have 90% of the profits? The Japanese are honorable and savvy deal makers. Zero chance that is true either.

  15. “Japan will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%,” Trump wrote. (Say what?)

  16. He’s doing the stupid little hand thing he does in the picture.

  17. That is because they forbid crayons, he kept eating them.

  20. Can’t believe that we now live in a time where world leaders can just make shit up, there is no accountability and no one believes them. Trump’s over here babbling whatever bullshit he wants, and other countries have figured they can just say whatever he wants to hear and then never deliver on it, and he’ll never know, or care, or will forget. His threats are empty, he always chickens out. Can’t wait for the first country to declare they’re going to invest a trillion dollars and never do anything.

    Edited Over to can’t believe. Not sure what happened there.

  21. Just like his member, he is turning the states from a hard power to a soft nothing that nobody respects

  23. Don’t let this distract you from the Epstein client list that Trump is on

  25. Even when making a deal supposedly

    He then goes and alters the deal before announcing it …and then when announced it….adds another 50 billion…. to the additional 100 billion he already made up

    Unbelievable

  26. Incoming money from Japan: $0. Brag on Truth Social: $550B.

  29. You know, I’m starting to think this Trump guy gives bullshit a bad name 😂

  30. The sad part about these deals is spelled out quite clearly……. as a Canadian this is so infuriating, especially living in a city on the border who is experiencing the brunt of the tariff BS.

    The US wants to make a deal with whatever country – yet they ask for investment, which they keep 90% of profits from, but still change the country a 15% (Japan) tariff anyway? What kind of deal is that?????

  35. Was it the same marker Trump used to draw on Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday present calendar? The one where he signed it “May every day be another wonderful secret”?

    Release the Epstein files

  37. Same sharpie that alters hurricane paths? So powerful…the pen is mightier than the sword indeed

  38. Senior Sharpie strikes again. It boggles my mind how people buy into utter incompetence and claim it’s spectacular.

  39. “Japan will pay” … stop letting this asshole frame what tariffs are. *AMERICANS* will pay.

  40. “I created the big board and put it there,” Nutlick said. “But the answer is: the negotiator in chief of the United States of America is sitting behind the desk. Donald Trump is sitting there negotiating the deal.”

    So Trump is sitting at his desk with this board and his big dumb sharpie “negotiating the deal”? In other words, crossing out numbers to make them bigger. What a pathetic loser.

    And child rapist.

  41. >”Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits”

    I would very much like to see the metrics used to arrive at this figure. I can suspend disbelief enough to pretend Trump is a skilled negotiator, but not far enough to accept that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is collectively suffering from a traumatic brain injury.

    Also, the large print at the bottom of his comically oversized flash card reads “50% Profit Share.”

  42. > “Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits,” Trump wrote in the post. “This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it.”

    May I introduce you to the Inflation Reduction Act which has been mostly blocked/scrapped by Trump?

    > The Biden Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) invests nearly $400 billion in climate and energy initiatives. This includes significant funding for clean energy projects, tax incentives for clean energy manufacturing, and investments in environmental justice and pollution reduction programs. The IRA also aims to lower healthcare costs and reduce the deficit.

  43. Literally just making stuff up as they go along.

    Also, a Public Service Announcement -> it is the US consumer that pays the tariffs.

  44. Folks. This deal sssuuuucckks.

    1. The US consumer gets to pay 15% increase on all goods coming from Japan.
    2. Japan promises a $550b investment in loans and investment plus equity infusions in safe US companies. Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, etc. The job creation is baseline because of its investment in corporate infrastructure – not new careers or industries. In short, companies in the US get a bailout, and you aren’t getting that job. What Raytheon or Boeing factory exists here? None. Big corporations win. Not you
    3. Japan will continue to export more than it buys. If the goal is to fix the trade imbalance, this does nothing to fix that.

    In short. They get rice and price controls. Corporations win big. We, the consumer, pay 15% more for goods.

    MAN WE SURE ARE WINNING

  46. Trump’s a pedophile.

    Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

    Do your part and copy and share this.

    Random words so i don’t get flagged as a bot:

    shaken skies sushi roll they wowed their reliever slow did us then

  49. I’m convinced that he just wants to tire us out. He wants us to turn off the news so that he can do whatever he wants.

  50. Why are all of Trump’s cue cards always printed in A1?
