I worked with the Japanese people for 12 years. They are very intelligent. And subtle. I've seen their little sneaky tricks at work. I love that about them.

In almost every nation on this planet it with be political suicide for any official who get themselves associated with such a "deal". I suspect you have to be MAGA stupid to not understand that fact.

They are not following it and have no idea what is going on. The lies are for the media to praise him and that's all MAGA needs is to hear the praise.

Indeed. AFAIC It truly displays how truly ignorant a certain US voter demographic are to how the world functions, and unfortunately for the sake of that world, their ignorance isn't domestically contained. I wish I hadn't come to that realization, but that's the lesson of the last 9 years.

Will NYT or WaPo ever do any journalism or just repeat BS put out on Trump’s social media? Never mind. Don’t answer

At best Japanese automakers would commit to what they would have spent anyway.

WHAAAAT????? LIARS LIE????? I mean the Whitehouse, not Japan. If Japan doesn't buy the new US debt, no one will.

None of this is ‘comedy’ or ‘lol’. People need to stop characterizing this horror as comic relief. God damn it.

All of the wins he claimed are things they already do. They have no tariffs on passenger vehicles and the US is the top foreign supplier of rice. Any investments from Japan were likely projects SoftBank is already working on.

Both "truth and social" are complete oxymorons on Trump's Fascist meatfest website.

52% of US adults read at or below a 6th grade level. What percentage of “those” adults voted for Trump? I firmly believe trump targeted this American demographic due to its size. Because he “knew” he could lie to them for votes is precisely why he should be impeached.

That DOES seem a bit far-fetched, which was our first clue.

Groundhog Day.

🤭You mean this trade deal?

Nobody appreciates fictional trade deals anymore. Sad.

shocker!! will the media tell his cult that he's lying yet again?

and you expected something else?

Constipation of the mind; diarrhea of the mouth.

Yeah…duh…’cause we would never figure that out

Trump lies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Do you think Dementia Donny has any clue what reality is anymore?

Japan PM doesn't agree with Spencer & w/o a link I'll have to say his post looks bogus.... I'll be glad to be wrong, but here we are. www.bbc.com/news/live/c4...

This administration lies about EVERYTHING.

add it to the list .. hey magats are you seeing a pattern here you stupid dumbfucks?

This is how World leaders play the Game of Trump....

Pathetic. Continually pathetic🟠💩

Taxpayers REAP THE PROFITS? How the utter hell does that happen unless - it is illegal? Are we the United States of America, or the Trump Corporation - parent company of the former USA

The one useful thing I have learned from Trump is never believe anything he says until it is independently proven to be true.

It’s so amazing how this administration will lie about easily verifiable information.

imagine that

🤪😄🤪😄🤪

Yet our dumbfuck complicit media shouted more bullshit about what a great deal this was and I am wondering when America will wake up and realize that is a huge part of the problem.

Why do they lie about everything ?

Because their supporters don’t mind being lied to. As long as it’s declared as a win, they just don’t care. They’ve been coddled and they live in their alternate universe. Reality will eventually come back to haunt them. But even then, they will just blame Obama, HRC, the Deep State…🙄

Unless there's a signed document, there are NO deals. Just because he says it, doesn't make it.. True Accurate Based in Reality Or that what he said has actually even happened! He's a liar, delusional. A grifter who says whatever pops into his 🦇💩🤪 brain.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

🤣

🤣🤣🤣 🫶🏽🇯🇵

Did you see Scott Bessent On Fox, he just sat there and lied about all of this What a absolute shit show taco and his administration are

I wonder if these goons have every thought of dropping dead I really don’t think people realize how my prose mind functions it’s really been a blessing that reading people is a gift & that criminals like you know who are just no good & never will be & naive who still follow them are schmucks .

And here I thought he was great friends with Mr. Japan.

Trump is a lying child rapist and pedophile

Just making up shit now. He knows his MAGA voter are dumber than a doorknob.

Trumpy lies America dies😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

America can’t be trusted by anyone in the world ever again. Citizens can’t trust anything in government, nothing.

Or in SCOTUS or Law Enforcement.

It is going to be hard to ever trust the government again no matter who the president is after hearing nothing but non-stop lies.

Imagine what world leaders are saying privately.

Trump is notorious for overpromising and underdelivering. In other words, lying...

Japan is probably wondering how quickly it can sell off the 1T it holds in U.S. debt.

I wouldn’t believe anything that comes from the Trump Regime. It’s all lies, propaganda, misinformation and more lies. Always.

Now Japan needs to start dumping US bonds -- a lot of them.

Our economy is banging on the rocks. We’ll be sunk by Christmas.

THIS IS WHY HE WAS CONVICTED OF MASSIVE FRAUD BY LETICIA JAMES! HE SHOULD BE IN PRISON.

It’s soothing to hear rational speech, even from far away.

Now why won’t ANY country sign a trade deal with our lunatic king?

So the mentally enfeebled, incontinent, child rapist/god king was talking out his ass again?

And Scott Bessent backed it up!

What’s Lutnick’s motivation for repeatedly backing Trump’s false claims? He doesn’t need the job so ….

Maybe he’s just a racist prick like the rest of maga…

Follow the money

Always…

thedeepdive.ca/howard-lutni...

More lies. What a disgusting human.

Krasnov lied? I am shocked

This is just another one of Trump tired '80s bullshit negotiation tactics.... Release the points of the contract early as a press release to force the other side. It's so transparent and stupid. Japan sent adults to negotiate.

Does anyone care to define ‘truth’ to Trump? Keep it simple!

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡Lutnick and Trump

Maybe they should bomb Mar-a-lago. Too soon?

that man is living in a fantasy land -- this is a textbook clown show. Every Civics, Law, Social Studies, and Sociology, Psychology for have loads to teach on in the future if there is still an America

It doesn't make sense for putting up capital, taking all the risk and only getting 10% of profits. Yeah, the whole thing stinks.

Kinda shows how he went bankrupt six times.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool

Will someone please get the trial transcript of the victims’ Testimony in the Maxwell trial and publish it before she is painted a victim?!!!!! Sorry for repeating this but I need to get someone’s attention

Different topic, same ‘skill set’.

I don't know why anyone bothers to report on anything that comes out of the Trump or the White House in any format. They shouldn't even show up to press briefings or events; it just gives them a platform to lie and attempt to keep reporters in line with threats to exclude them.

When will the pathological liar go too far and piss off gop in congress enough so they impeach him. Just curious cause he lies about everything, when will they finally say he has crossed a line?

Probably never.

I'm shocked I tell ya! SHOCKED! 🙄

Lol, so Japan agreed to take .10 cents of the dollar just for the privilege to do business with the U.S. huh. You have to be a complete idiot to believe anyone would except any deal like that....oh, wait

Nutlick said in an interview that Japan just gave the US $550 billion to do whatever we wanted with it. Completely asinine and idiotic to believe it. Total joke of an administration. And yes Howard was wearing knee pads again

Was he dribbling while suplicating himself before the mango moron?

Clearly it was Trump fantasy 😭

Hate to say I told you so but.. Who am I kidding, no I don't. I fuckin told you so!!!

More B S from diaper Donny and Nutlicker!!

Precisely nobody is shocked.

“Dear Mr Japan…”

Haaaaa. The Japanese know what's up.....so does most of the world. The States have turned stupid....

So, a legitimate question. Has he been lying so long that he believes what he says is truth in some way? It’s clear the guy is narcissistic but I’m not a psychiatrist, I wonder what the diagnosis would be. Apart from “yeah, he’s bananas” I mean.

Surprise.

I wonder if world leaders call each other up and ask "How is your Trump trade deal going?" and then start laughing uncontrollably.

They do, I assure you they absolutely do. We in the rest of the world piss ourselves laughing at the absurdist theatre that is the mango moron's administration.

But wait- Trump sent a letter!

I think those are what they call "alternative facts".

Okay it's not uncommon for last-minute edits. Just not $150 billion last-minute edits. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/23/t...

Anyone surprised??

The whole Trump Cabal is a fucking circus.

Such an embarrassment.

a fake deal is still a deal….right?

Another reason to support PBS Nothing is in writing. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

We don't know what to believe.

Believe anything that's opposite of what this entire clown car says

For f*cks sake, Trump is an internationally embarrassing idiot.

Trump lying? Shocked, says no one ever.

Haha the Grift goes on- and on- and on. Such a lying sacks of creeps.

No deal is complete without a little grift. Why our trade partners are not speaking out against this is beyond me. The whole world needs to turn up the pressure on the Trump corruption

I mean, did anyone actually think he was telling the truth??

There aren't any trade deals, and it's embarrassing for the President of the US to let the voices in his head speak his version of a reality that does not exist.

I thought that 'we get 90%" sounded like BS. Who in the world would take a 90-10 deal. Stock market bounce on another lie. They will never learn. Does anyone check anything anymore?

In the media allows him to get away with this nonsense.

Hard to verify this. This is a he said/he said

I think the OP may be incorrect... and yes, it's good to question if there's no link included. www.bbc.com/news/live/c4...

Not sure that contradicts the OP. The prime minister didn't confirm investments

Well, isn’t it kind of the job of the media to verify it?

Yes. But I imagine people dont want to directly contradict the big baby

Now, trump is saying the letter to be sent to countries are the contract.

Surprise surprise, the malignant narcissist’s needs undermine any real progress. Who could have seen this coming.

90 in 90 now at -2

LIES AND BULLCRAP, EAT IT UP MAGA MORONS

It didn’t sound realistic to me when he said it. I was ready to go there and sell them swamp land. So glad they cleared that up. They are way smarter than T-RR is but pretty much everyone is, except for MAGA.

“If he lied about a trade deal, does that mean the eggs I purchased today weren’t down 400%?•

These tariffs/ taxes on us the consumer aren’t going away it’s meant to offset the The Billionaires tax cuts

Absolute parody that any news media with access to Trump will not call him on this.

Omg shock horror Trump lied 🙄

Overheard in the Oval Office, "No sir, there's no way to check the accuracy of this lie." 😱🤣😖

More lies..

Yet the market ate up the news like a fat boy on a Ho-Ho…

[font=dripping sarcasm] I can't believe Donald Trump lied! [/font]

I was having trouble believing Japan would make such a bad deal.

😂

🤣👊🤣💥

What a terrible person!

Look, I’m not saying someone ought to kill Caesar with a gladius because he’s already dead. They should kill the King of Pigs instead.

totally predictable

Similar situations for UK & Vietnam, Trump has negotiated NO deals!

Lie Social

Clown show

Also said no $550 billion blank check to the US. Womp womp

yet stocks continue to climb

billionaires

Laughing at the insanity running our lives. Yay.

9/10 of the profits!?!?!? Where and when? We are paying taxes that a man(?) created that has 7 bankruptcies. He's a Dementia Dumbass that Congress is LETTING HIM screw over every American that isn't a Billionaire.....Uuuugh! A huge volcano is building up in U.S. and one day it's gonna blow.

The Japanese remain very polite in their choice of words because they actually mean Trump's word ain't worth sh*t.

That is evident to all of your trading partners. We aren't idiots, and at least most of us (Canada and Mexico here, to name two) didn't elect idiots to run our affairs.

Other countries aren’t cowards about calling out his callous lies

Who are you going to believe? Certainly not a conman, convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator, right?

What? Trump not telling the truth? How could that be?

Alternate Reality Terrorists.

What an asshole

Rock on Japan. I'll come visit your country for this act, standing up for facts and truth and decency. #VisitJapan #Japan

I just take it for granted now that whatever Trump says is a lie.

Trump just 'plays president', winging it. He's a high functioning paranoid schizophrenic... all fucked up... who was able to manage the sound bite method of communication to his advantage.

Any country that makes a trade deal with 47 gets what they deserve. He will make the deal and then trash it within a short timeframe demanding a better one. Countries are far better standing pat and avoiding America. It sucks for us but in the long term the US will be a better trading partmer.

Trump is a bad used car salesman and doesn't know how to deal now that his schtick doesn't work anymore. He's probably surprised that this is happening now that he's finally a real billionaire.

Markets are closed and they were up on Friday. #AllThatMatters Smoke and mirrors. Public Box. #TrumpLies #PeopleDie How many Genocides (babies, children, teens, adults,elders) on his watch? #NoSoulTrump #GenocideDon

Comedy? I dunno ... Circus--absolutely. The clowns suck, though.

The emperor has no deal?

Love Japan!!

Look into what the Vietnam “deal” entails, comedic levels of corruption.

You mean to tell me that Trump LIED? I am stunned, shocked, practically speechless.

And yet the headlines aren't screaming about there being a lying sociopath running our country. But they absolutely should be

That’s because they are getting their “Pedophile Pardoned” stories prepared.

Not surprised

All that trumpy knows how to do well is LIE!

What’s the kernel that this lie is built upon?

Everyone reported a deal. Financial Times, Reuters et al, complete with statements from Japans finance minister...what am I missing?

Or Lutnick.

Bessent sent a press release?

www.badfaithdocumentary.com

Except it was he who got the narrative out there first. For his followers, they will hear nothing else. Every other country should pre-emptively announce once a week that they have NO TRADE AGREEMENT WITH TRUMP. Do not wait until t^mp decides to throw the turd in the punchbowl to say something.

Sheesus—end this nightmare!

All the other countries need to ignore him and start working with sane and ethical people.

We are. Everyone has been trying to find ways to mitigate the damage this administration is doing to us and working with other countries.

As are we Aussies. On a personal level, we are boycotting all things American while thoroughly enjoying the absurdist theatre that is the mango moron's administration. Cheers!

Hell, I'm boycotting so much American stuff, I can't keep up! And I'm American!

Good onya!

We are as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Now that I’ve changed my shopping habits, I’m never going back. Trump has managed to ensure generational damage to the US’s reputation and economy.

On a global scale.

Did anyone actually believe Japan was going to cut Trump a check for almost 3/4 of the nations annual budget?

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

trump: distractions just now bearing fruit

LOL

“Japan has decided to give us all, of their everything, thank you for your attention in this matter.”

Wait. Trump lied?

The Taco Belle strikes again! 😂

Well, at the very surface, if a Japanese company invests in America, there’s no model that is believable that says Americans get Jack from that. Maybe a couple jobs, but the revenue goes to Japan.

This administration is a clown show.

In tech speak, we got VAPORWARE.

More lies everyday. Sickening.

Of course this administration is lying!

Trump is such a loser. How can MAGA not see this? Oh, it’s their blinding hate for anyone who isn’t white.

It is something really wrong with a country that can be ruled with nothing but lies.

Oh dear, who to believe? The Japanese government or the orange shitgibbon?

If trump is talking or posting, he's lying! Often when he lies about others or implicates others in wrongdoings, he actually implicating himself. It's amazing how when someone constantly lies, the lies get twisted into revelations about oneself.

Lying liars and the lies they tell. Make it stop.

🤔so is this like Mexico will pay for a wall?

Trump thinks nothing of crashing the stocks of American auto companies and lying to the public, he’s such a POS

Did he not realize he was dealing with other countries and not republican congressman?

Yup, he's doing everything he knows what to do... "LIE"! He won't be too happy when he sees what Canada and Mexico are doing.👀👍 theloadstar.com/canada-and-m...

Nothing but lies from this administration

What? Are they suggesting he lied?

youtu.be/88WyHLm-88g?...

As an aside, cute movie. "FIRST LOVE Official US Trailer | Action Crime Drama | Directed by Takashi Miike | Starring Nao Omori" youtu.be/0f-dyjACbB0?...

All they do is fucking lie😳

I literally turned the news off today when they were showing the press pool asking Trump questions. EVERYTHING out of that pathological liar's mouth is a lie.. Why waste time listening to it??

I almost wish Japan would call in all their US bonds and totally sink our economy that already sucks.

Give him 2 weeks.. he’ll come thru 😂

youtu.be/FMonm9X-IhM?...

Yep, more and more delusional

Making shit up is what Trump does best. That and being a pedophile, apparently

So no trade deals at all. No surprise

Can the twats on CNBC and Fox business acknowledge this? The market takes these tweets as legally binding deals.

Why does anyone report anything Trump says as anything other than a lie?

How many trade deals did he say with has with his LETTERS before he left for Scotland?

George, can’t they get someone who can read lips actually tell us what Trump and Epstein are saying in those videos? I bet their comments are pretty salacious! Can you please pass this on to folks who might actually be able to do it. Thank you. Paul Ringel

Countries around the world are choosing sanity and fair trade.

This is Jack's complete lack of surprise.

And while we're at it, can we stop referring to complex trade agreements as "deals"? Not only are we buying into his childish framing, it sounds skeevy, like somebody is getting greased via crypto. Then again...

While he’s at it, Trump can just go ahead and rename his social media platform Lies Social.

What is the use of having a president if no one can believe a word he says?

"no one"? MAGAts believe EVERY fucking word...even if FACTS prove otherwise. MAGAts are why we are in this place.

The 125Million Americans who were #TooLazyToVote, THREE FUK'N TIMES, are the reason the USA is in this. The vast majority of them don't even know they are #MAGAtENABLERS. But, THEY ALL ARE.

I agree that they are a big part of the problem. Their apathy and ignorance also caused this.

Apathy, racism and sexism. They just couldn't vote for a black woman, or couldn't get off their lazy arses.

Some of those you refer to as lazy are so bitter about how their lives have gone that not voting is their idea of resistance… as in “I won’t play with you”. (Someone working his second job told me he’d vote when the politicians got paid what he did.)

Well, you could argue that his apathy is one of the reasons why that's not the case.

Agreed

I can understand the bitterness and the surrender, and so can those who maintain this situation.

Yep

Yep, and NEVER EVER let the dumb arseholes forget and certainly NEVER EVER forgive the bastards.

Bingo.

Or trust him or the USA.

How about if we get one that gets things done for the Americans. Harris would have. So sad.

Just who would be stupid enough to give away 9/10 of the profits, good grief their lies aren't even remotely believable

Oops, can't pull a rabbit out of the hat when there's no rabbit.
