It’s coming to light that even some of the trade deals that are “done” haven’t actually been signed. They are frameworks, or supposed verbal agreements. This is all looking very shaky.

I think all these "deals" are fake and will fall apart...
Surprise!
👍👍yep
Who is surprised 🙄
Wow, who could have ever imagined this would happen?
They are just talking points so he can claim he is doing something! He continues to lie about the progress or lack thereof!
shaky and problematic just as 🍊💩is
Are we surprised? Not a thing out of this dudes mouth is truth
Leaders everywhere are starting to realize that with Trump, you can buy new curtains and paint the front door and he thinks he's got a brand new house. 🙄
Is he in the news, saying BIG things? Then he doesn't care. And, he especially doesn't care if the news isn't Epstein.
The felon thinks a concept of a plan is a deal. Buffoon.
This entire administration is 'all looking very shaky' imho.
Of course. He’s using a fake emergency to declare unconstitutional tariffs that have been deemed illegal. An appeal court staying that ruling doesn’t change the facts of the law. It’s BS.
What??!! The orange Mussolini has been lying…imagine that??!!!
They are "concepts" of trade deals, David.
It's been glaringly obvious from the get-go it was all smoke and mirrors. I can only assume the general public largely doesn't understand how such deals are made, or they could work it out for themselves. To be frank, a modicum of common sense is often all that's needed even if they don't.
They have the concept of an agreement.
Only thing that matters. Is that Trump is able to SHOW it as a big beautiful victory. The others know this. Like Ursula. Who was "eaten as breakfast"
There is way too much emphasis put on "signed deals." Trump and his sycophants will break any agreement on a whim whether it's an agreement in principle or a decades old, fully executed document.
Anyone who trusts Trump to keep his word or even understand it is a fool. He lives in a barely recognized, fluid moment. He lives in this single second of time with an ego that takes up almost all the space besides a little racism and a pathological need to be fawned over.
Exactly! It’s unbelievable that the media reports on a social media post as a “signed trade deal”. It’s like: Look, I just bought a house! No mortgage. No papers. No agreement between buyer and seller. No closing date. But, it’s a nice house. Do you see the problem?
Trump gave himself a deadline of 90 days and everyone just grabbed onto it and decided he was right. When he makes up arbitrary measurements of his own success, we don't have to embrace them, and we don't have to wait 90 days to say that he's doing a bad job.
The sort of deal you’d expect from the Capo di tutti capi.
Even one that's signed is worthless with that orange sack of shit. He'll rip it on a whim and claim it was a bad one like it was someone else's fault.
Orange sack of shit
"Concepts of a deal"
I doubt there's even a foundation, much less being shaky.
Jumping the gun, as usual. He makes big announcements like this to buy time and create the illusion but they are not done. The EU is comprised of many who still need to consider what has been discussed. Japan is not “done”. And apparently Canada is “tough” to deal with. 😂
canada refused to bribe him as he demanded, good for them
And yet, "mainstream" media are writing misleading headlines on these stories making it seem that these are legitimate, done tariff deals. 😠
NONE of these „trade deals“ is anything more than a letter of intend, if at all. But as most of it is just US tariffs anyway, that doesn't matter much. The US can do the „deal“ on their own, and all the EU, Japan etc. basically have informally agreed to is not to retaliate, aka as doing nothing.
A man who was convicted of dozens of counts of Fraud and Falsifying Business Records is lying and making untrue/misleading statements about "trade deals"? No. Not a chance. Couldn't be.
It’s all BS
Trump? On shaky ground regarding something incredibly important? And in a way that serves his ego? Today must end in the letter ‘y’.
It’s like the whole world is playing a game of make believe. Instead of, the emperor has no clothes, the emperor has no trade deals.
We see this emperor has no brain...
That fable explains the entire Trump presidency. We’re all waiting for the tiny boy to loudly cry out that he’s naked, and break the spell. (Maybe that role is being played by the deceased Jeffrey Epstein?)
And all a smokescreen from the real evil going on as the rest of them busy themselves implementing project 2025.
Especially given that Trump's word is about as good as the toilet paper he uses while sitting on his golden toilet.
This is pure Trump ffs. Why on earth ‘serious’ legacy media econ journos continue to report Trump’s trade fantasies as fact is beyond me.
Oh please!! Even if they say they have a deal, the the Con & Chief tears them up! Remember 45 made a trade deal with Canada and Mexico. 47 threw it out. When will people stop listening to the LIAR? 🙄
It's terrible that media call these "deals" when they're not.Like they keep using Trump's language on "reciprocal " tariffs. Media seldom correct on Trump's "this is the tariffs other countries will pay". Sadly the Democrats refuse to press this.
All trump cares about is the headline. Trade deals take WAY more time than an hour and a half. Everything trump does is very shaky.
Could that action be referred as “a concept of a plan?”
I never believed anything was done. He’s a liar who has so many tells it’s embarrassing—plus all the other countries have been very honest about what’s actually happening
Trump could decide to increase or decrease tariffs of goods coming into the US on a whim as well even with these “deals”. Not to mention the “deals” he has made put the trade in a worse position.
Just ongoing gaslighting by this morally and ethically corrupt regime
Stop jerkin your gherkin.
DINO. Deals In Name Only. Fitting for a PINO
They are a concept. Just like his healthcare plan.
‘Skeevy’ is the technical term for ‘shady as shit.’
They're illegal anyway.
seems a bit half baked
Yeah.Almost like " 90 deals in 90 days" ain't happening
I assume that they could tell ChatGPT to write the deal with 15% tariffs and 750 billion investment from EU and it would regurgitate something.
Could be 750 billion in 1000 years, who knows.. Nothing is signed so it's all just a big nothing burger. 🤣
This is no revelation. That's why details will never be released.
Just the kind of "stable economy" businesses love, built on maybes and possiblies
And yet the press keeps saying they’re done. 🙄
Any opinion on the Gaza genocide, David?
Who is suprised about this?
Why are you expecting anything other than lies from the TACO Princess? Even when he says something that has 'shades' of truth, it's overwhelmed by random babbling and outright fabrications.
A felon fraudster obsessed with appearances over substance building a house of cards in a windstorm? Color me surprised. /s
I believe they also have to be ratified by Congress after the 'declaration of emergency' authority drops.
Concepts
Exactly 💯
I don’t believe anything that Trump says. This is just grandstanding to divert and act as if he’s actually doing something
Let's ask Bessent, he surely won't pass the buck onto someone else for his failures
"shaky" is very forgiving. Delusional would be more fitting.
Remember this guy hired a bunch of con artists to give lectures and called it a "University."
Par for the course with TACO. Make threats, back away, claim victory. Makes perfect sense to his supporters who have none.
So there's nothing but Trump's threats and demands.
Per usual, nothing is done, it's all lies.
They are not "trade deals." They are tariff levies made under the (false) premise of a national security emergency - the limited legislative scope afforded the executive by Congress. Real trade deals are detailed, take time, and require ratification. As an example, NAFTA took 5 years. TPP took 8.
David, with all due respect, are you suggesting Trump may be misleading people? 😱
That "trade deal" with the UK was ALL just more foam, froth and bubble - no substance - no deadlines, no real commitments!
No signatures needed, as Trump changes his mind at the moment of new grievances or the need of new distractions from any corrupt development. So there are no deals, as any deal is worthless its form of document and signature.
Trump's pathetic fake deals.
"Concepts" of deals...so to speak?
Of the six agreements President Donald Trump has reached with leading trade partners, only one is signed. The one signed with the U.K. in May, was light on details, with the the two governments still negotiating to implement the high-level commitments they made. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up — after Trump administration officials claimed Tokyo would back investments in the US from which American taxpayers would reap nine-tenths of the profits. www.ft.com/content/c118...
“Europe has admitted that this agreement isn’t legally binding, and they have no control over whether these investments even happen.” thehill.com/policy/inter...
EU doesn't really have $750 billion to give to US. So it ain't happening.
Even if this were to be signed and ratified by all parliaments of the member states, it wouldn't be given. It's buying liquid gas, oil, and coal. It would mean less money for Russia (very good), and the remainder would be covered by shrinking imports from Australia.

There are no actual trade deals: everything he talks about is just the 3 AM dementia speaking; it’s all his big beautiful Alzheimer’s fantasy…
I'm surprised anyone believed there were any "deals" in the first place. Haven't we established by now that you can't believe a single word that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth?
Huh
Its on brand - Trump the conman
There’s no real deals. All this bullshit is just increasing inflation and making Trump a lot of money.
Pettyman Smallcock sent letters and/or texts. Doesn't that mean it is signed, sealed delivered? IT MUST MEAN THAT!
Concepts of plans!
Beat me to it.
More like concept of guidelines
The EU "deal", I'm sure, will need to be discussed and hammered out by each EU member state before they even get near signing.
The EU has said this. They said, yeah, sure, whatever, but we literally don't have the authority to make this happen. You're still going to need to ask the member states. Trump saw something he could sell as a victory and doesn't care.
Yeah, I also saw that the Japan "investment of $550Billion" is in fact about 1%-2% investment and the rest is in loans to the US. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
He doesn’t care
They may be the vague outlines of the broad general conceptual idea of trade deals, and be written in crayon, but they are beautiful. So beautiful. Some say they are the most beautiful crayon-drawn trade deals ever produced…
And if memory serves correctly, he's not even close to the number of deals needed within the timeline his administration set.
Trump tells one lie after another. He even lies to cover up for lies that he forgot he lied about. Yet instill, the mainstream media allows it. I’m tired of these weaklings pretending to be journalists. Carl Bernstein is somewhere throwing punches in the air right now.
And shady
Donold is a felon who was given or stole everything he has so no surprise. Arrest and imprison the child rapist. Impeach and remove the gang of thugs surrounding donold
Kinda like, oh I dunno, ‘concepts’ of trade deals? And the grift goes on courtesy of the sex-offending lump of demented effluvia and #Epstein bestie Donald J #Scum!
“A concept of a deal”?
Countries are doing what they can to appease and buy time from the President Small Penis.
Like the fact that they’re touting a “$600 billion” investment the EU has no control over?
Ursula von der Leyen (EU) already said their member states have to approve. They won’t.
None have. And none are valid w/o Senate approval.
I think Trump believes if he states it’s a done deal that it will put pressure on the target nation(s) to simply accept it (vs the outlined terms just being the starting point for further discussions).
…and provides further self-generated fodder for his delusional state.
They are concepts of a framework which can be universally be denied once Trump finds out he has screwed America yet again.
So, no tariffs set in stone and demented king can change any time?
The concept of a trade deal...
I read that he's only completed 2. UK and Indonesia. And neither are actually completed. Lol
It's a "concept" of a deal. Nothing more, nothing less.
Everybody’s hoping Trump drops dead and none of this ends up coming to fruition because it’s all just so poor
Not just shaky, but non-existent!
President Pedo is an actual fucking moron with advanced dementia.
🌮🌮🌮
The stock market acts like everything is fine. 🤷🏻♂️
Did it? There was a massive market crash 4 months ago.
Yes, and now the stock market is up 🙃.
For now ... 1982 was worse for the economy than the COVID pandemic of 2020 .
SHOCKED. I am so shocked. Next you will tell me the sky is perceived by most people as blue.
We should never expect anything to NOT be a big phony version of : “Just SAY there was corruption - and my R’s in Congress will do the rest.”
some would say a concept of an agreement
Trump's trade deals are not even good in concept.
Two weeks.
Did anyone really think that letters & social media posts were deals?
What about the amazing trade deal w/ China signed in Jan 2020? The Historic & Enforceable trade deal w/ China? Why was that never enforced? Why not sue to enforce that deal rather than having a trade war w/ every country in the world & a few more? Was the enforceable China deal never enforceable?
Concepts of a brain fart.
Other than @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social being absolutely ineffectual “leaders” and Congress’s general abdication of their responsibilities, wouldn’t any “deal” need to get passed by Congress anyway?
TACO fig-leafs
What’s wrong with you? It’s the concept of a plan. So what if there is no detail, so what if it makes no sense. Trump said so, so it must be big and beautiful. Just drink the kool-aid and turn off your brain and you will see how awesome these trade deals are.
Right. The orange blob is transactional and throws spaghetti on the wall. Then moves on….leaving a trail of vitriol.
“Concepts” of deals, to be sure.
They’re just going to stall him out of office.

Look outside the US press.
All this to avoid us talking about his friendship with Epstein and Hislaine and his hiring of minors in his club.
Even if it signed, doesn't mean done, not in don mind
🤯🫢😲
All Canada is laughing at him
It's just more lies.
A Concept of a Deal
Sounds like a trump deal. All here say and she say without an actual thing done. That's his thing. Lie, lie, lie.
These so called “trade deals” are just a concept of a plan!!!
Before the end of his term, Trump’s USA will surpass the death toll of the Holocaust. 6 million Jews in 12 years? Try 14 million blacks in 5 years. Already, over a quarter of a MILLION dead black babies. By Starvation, AIDS & other diseases. The most agonizing deaths imaginable. As we burn food. ☠️🇺🇸☠️
A concept of a plan? Thought of an idea? Notion of an inkling? The flaccid vomitous creature is a distracting tool of confusion and chaos.
Maybe he gave them all 'I AGREE' lapel badges but they forgot to wear them
Have any been out to paper? The fake announcements of ‘investments’ is just hilarious. The #idiocracy is here and it’s really weird and nonsensical. RealityTV show on steroids.
Stop calling them deals - they are simply edicts issued by Felon#47 and may or may not even go into effect.
By that standard I close 250 deals* 7 days a week, where’s my jet and security detail (*emails)
What does that say about the leaders of those countries that go on air and go along with his lies about a deal being done. We know pedo man is a corrupt layer but they are no better than our loser.
First class looser
Negotiating by bullying rarely goes well. A country that is forced to cover for their corrupt president's actions does not inspire trust or good faith.
It's all BS.
There are no trade deals. Congress has to vote on trade deals. The documents are massive. The felon claims trade deals that don't exist or are loose "ideas" of what a deal could be. I'm sure republicans will give power to confirm deals to the felon, but right now NO DEALS.
These trump deals are full of promises that are not legally binding. Art of the Deal!
Shaky my ass. It is all bullshit and nothing but bullshit. We have lipstick on a pigs ass and half of the country kissing it.
To call Trump’s deals shaky is probably an understatement.
Possibly unfair to the word shaky.
It’s just distracting from Epstein news.
Lies as usual
everything with t rump is grifty
They're Lists of Concepts of Trade Deals.
Yeh, like the deal with Japan. Didn't happen.
This surprises you?🙂
They're "done" in the sense that a hand-shake deal is done. Without even the surety of a hand-shake between negotiators.
He doesn't want finalised deals. He wants to exert a constant threat.
You can’t make deals with an imbecile
A liar building a house of cards for the masses? Say it isn’t so
I don't think he wants trade deals, he wants tariffs to shift money away from the poor and to try and tank the economy to reduce the fed rate thus reduce interest payments. One would suspect he has a lot of debt to service himself and needs to bring the cost down
In other words, more Trump spin and we can ask, “Where is the beef?” Answer: it is all an allusion.
AFAIK *none* of them is signed, much less ratified.
So, in other words these trade deals are merely "concepts of a plan?"
