Tariff time bomb ticks down to July 9 and Trump hits us with all-caps press releases at midnight. Nothing says ‘steady leadership’ like threatening the world in urgent Courier New.

I guess we will wait and see. Most likely it will be in “two weeks” when the 90 - 2 =88 deals that were supposed to be done…are actually done. He is sending a skillfully worded letter written in his own language and in crayon…”Do you want to negotiate a deal” circle Yes or No and return to sender.

The strongly worded letters are in the mail. Who doesn't respond immediately to those... The negotiating tactics are next level. It will all be great in a couple of weeks, maybe a bit longer with our current mail system. In the mean time...

Probably just postpone them for 'Two Weeks' Practically everything Trump says he's going to do is always in 'two weeks'.

Comic Sans is far too readable. Wingdings is more like it.

Why should the countries react to this threatening letter? He can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. We simply act around the USA. He wants isolation, he gets isolation.

This is like me buying crap from some store, choosing to pay 10% extra and then demand they lower their prices. 🤣

The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter @notrebecca.bsky.social

He's going to send "letters." After he sends the letters, the "phones will be ringing off the hook." Then we'll have "sub-deals." The world has moved on from the US. And while it continues to move forward in the 21st Century, the US is being taken back to the 19th Century (in more ways than one)
