Why are countries giving in to Trump who said they are kissing his you know what and begging him for a negotiation. They should collectively say they're not going to negotiate. That will put Trump in a bad situation.

I don't think many countries are actually doing this. It's only happening in his mind and in their desperate spin factory!!
This is Trump caving.
PS: Xi is full fledged authoritarian; Trump still in authoritarian wannabe stage. Xi and Chinese Communist Party can compel oppressed Chinese to financially suffer more severely and longer than Trump can financially harm Americans even MAGAs. Xi can also rightfully blame Trump's tariff aggression.
I think people in this country have already reached their pain threshold. IMO that's why Trump put a pause on the tariffs, to keep the market from crashing even further.
Hmmm . . . Yet Trump continued tariffs on China and raised them to 145%;China, our largest trading concern and among largest on globe. Reality, the severest and most far reaching tariff impact on prices of American goods are the China tariffs.
He blinked bc Japan started dumping long term bonds and drove up yields making debt rates higher.
Yep!
TRUMP CLAIMS "ALL THESE COUNTRIES ARE BEGGING TO NEGOTIATE." NO PROOF THAT THIS IS TRUE. TRUMP INCESSANTLY LIES. THERE MAY ACTUALLY BE VERY FEW WANTING TO NEGOTIATE.
They should hold out and make Trump call THEM. Markets are crashing and Trump will eventually have to make some kind of move if they resist.
He won’t share the imaginary list
How convenient!
Someone on a program yesterday said it's absolutely possible that 75 countries called, only not to beg, but to shout 'What the he11 is going on here?!?!'.
Pls correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the only entity we heard from (aside fr China) in terms of retaliation, was the EU? I'm not counting Mexico & Canada, because their tussle with that cretin started many wks ago. All the countries who he claims are "kissing his ass", is a load of bull shit.
Trump lie? Perish the thought!
😂
Those countries need to hold out and see if Trump implements his tariffs in 90 days. I suspect he won't. He'll realize he can't continue to crash the economy and make up some other excuse.
Agree: Those countries hold out and also begin selling off any US Treasury Bonds they may have as Canada, Japan and other countries are doing.
I agree as well. The title "Leader of the Free World" is no longer in the possession of the USA thanks to their great orange leader.
Truly sad. Trump's America is now allied with Fascist Russia, North Korea and Hungary: Only if we allow the traitorous, anti-democracy, pro-Fascist Trump & GOP to continue in positions of power.
It is sad. I feel very bad for the critical thinking, decent folks that did not vote for him.
Inevitable, in history of our Constitutional Democracy, power hungry, authoritarian forces have and will continue to threaten our freedom. Question is whether or not our generation will have common sense and courage to defeat current fascist movement and save our Democracy for future generations.
We had our chance last November. Some people are just MAGA loyalists, while others were duped by promises of lower egg prices.
I'm one of them. And for those that did vote for him, I say suck it up, patriots. Cry harder.
I tend to agree with your take, more so being a Canadian. It's bad enough when you force your fellow citizens to endure this hell, after being warned incessantly by people in the know. But when the result of their actions spills over into other nations, I have no sympathy for them. They were told!
Trump seems to love to inflict misery on others.
There are no countries kissing his you know what. He is lying
I agree, but he did say that. I hope countries hear that. They'll know what Trump thinks of him.
There isn’t any countries. Period. He said 70. He is lying. If there were, those countries would say they were in talks. They haven’t because they aren’t! Trump refused to list the countries he’s in talks with when asked. Boom 💥 🍿 popcorn time!
There are two reasons the list doesn't exist: 1. The dog ate it (along with Baron's homework) 2. It went to that black hole with all of the single missing socks.
Because they aren't. Or maybe you were joking?
Not joking. These countries have a lot more leverage than they think.
These countries know exactly what they have. Beautiful bonds and Treasury Bonds. And they keep each other informed too: Canada, EU countries, Japan.
