There’s your trade imbalance.

Economy & Social Services. MAGA said: Democrats are destroying America!! Take from the Poor & Middle Class and Give to the Rich. MAGA said: It'll make our country's Economy Stronger within the next 50 years!! #MakeItMakeSense!!! 🥴 #YouBrokeItFixItMAGA!!! 🥺

how is this "unprecedented access" different than what was happening before the demonstrable moron who is bad at business and economics started levying tariffs on long-time allies?

The Art of the Schlemiel.

Looks like he peeled off his diaper to wipe the sweat off his face💩

nightmare fuel

The UK is still so fucked up from Brexit it doesn't even make anything. Relax America, you'll still shift container ships laden with corn syrup and subpar ingredients to the brainwashed masses.

But aren’t you guys trying to cozy up to the EU again. Good luck. You guys broke up with the nice guy and now you’re flirting with a psychopath. RUN, run back to the nice guy!

"You guys?"

He only thinks about the corporations selling the goods, not the consumer who has to pay for them.

Egg-Zactly.

I'm not sure who'll want chlorinated chicken or steroid fed beef when it arrives in the UK, no matter how cheap it is.

Its fine, the shills have been out in force to assure us that nothing has changed, and that all chlorinated chicken and steroid beef will come with bits of paper claiming that it's not. There's a small chance that on occassion someone might read one of the bits of paper. So that's okay then.

Phew!

🤬

The UK government has made it clear that they will not allow the import of beef raised on growth hormones. So there is very little US beef that would be able to be imported.

There's always a winner in trump's deals. It's just never us.

It's all a ponzi scheme marketing visual. When his culties see the green arrow, they think it's an amazing win. EPIC FAIL

Fart of the Deal strikes again!

One country... cost $18 more per US resident. Family of four $72. Only 194 countries to go.

And tRump posts it like he's proud of the shit!!!

He doesn't even know how to play checkers....

If it helps we in the UK think it's a crap deal for us too and only benefits two politicians both claiming they've made a really great deal.

The Brits aren't stupid. They will not make a trade deal with the US that only benefits the US and screws themselves.

Don't buy anything from Magamerica! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The Maga merchandise is made in China. Maybe they will see the affects of the tariffs when their MAGA gear prices are increased, lol.

The crap is already so ridiculously overly priced ($50 for a $3 ball cap) that they can afford to not raise the prices. 😏

Baby puke chocolate? chlorine washed chicken because US farms are filthy & inhumane? Steroid pumped beef? I’ll pass whatever the tariffs thanks…

You don't want too participate in America's Predatory Capitalism? There's plenty of pesticides and animal viruses ready for export 😟

We already have our own tariff free predatory capitalism 😉

There is stupid, there is moronic, there is "zero brain cells", and then, down there where the intellectual power of a rock with zero silicon content lies, there is Trump and his cult.

I'm not saying this lightly, eh! I've been a witness to George Bush's junior dilapidation of human ingenuity. I've read a lot about the negative IQ actions of Nixon in Vietnam. I've read about the dismayingly stupid tariffs during the Great Depression. But Trump and Trumpism are way worse.

This is the sloppiest chart I’ve ever seen. External revenues? No, they’re internal because Americans have to pay that $6B! What’s the 2 10%’s up top with the leftover empty row on the bottom? He sees it as winning because the government is taking in more $! It’s a tax on ALL OF US!

What?!?!?!

Its been a few years since Econ 101 classes, but the foundational principles of economics don't change. Even basic math would tell you that this is loosing.

Master negotiation tactics

Make America Great (Britain) Again.

Awww... crap. Now I want a martini... and will never drink bottled water again. (Hmmm... not such a bad thing, now that I think about it.)

Ha ha

10% tariffs on everywhere means US citizens pay at least 10% on anything imported. At least 145% on anything from China and 25% extra for all cars made abroad apart from in the UK - even American cars made in Mexico!

Are ya winning yet, donOLD?????

George he’s not mentally stable and needs to be removed! 🤬🤡🤬🤡🤬🤡🤬🤡

That's what happens when you elect a fool.

i am not going to lie, i am still more concerned about if the united kingdom has agreed on start its resegregation

They could charge 0.1p and I wouldn't eat it.

Hi from the UK here, Nobody wants American food here we don't eat bleach chicken or the like our standards are higher.

I want Trump to abandon the tariff debacle he has created, but that doesn’t seem likely. When faced with the reality of truckers and dockworkers at the Los Angeles ports losing their jobs, he responded that it was a good thing because it meant we’re losing less money. How do you reason with that?

deepnewz.com/china/chines...

I’m sure Bessent relayed something stupid Trump told him to say. 😏

massive strikes and rallies

There is no reasoning with that.

The man never led with reasoning.

Can’t fix stupid!

maga

Donald J Trump, master negotiator. 🙄☹️

But rich Americans will pay less, on expensive luxury cars from the UK that normal Americans can't afford anyway.

Trump did reduce his tariffs on British cars. So it will be easier for Americans to buy a Rolls Royce, Jaguar, or Aston Martin. That's good news for billionaires, Trump's favorite people!

Ironically Rolls Royce - German owned BMW Jaguar Land Rover - Chinese owned TATA Basically he did a deal with Europe and china 🤪🤯

How much was donated to him through bribes?

Now we see how Trump inherited half a billion dollars and STILL went bankrupt six times 🤔

Notice how this is presented “UK Tatriffs” can be interpreted as Tarriffs in the UK on US goods. Or, what we UK Tarriffs when goods arrive to the US. 2. In the heading, it says US and UK are charging each other 10%. In the lower part, 10% isn't displayed when showing change in tarriff.

If I’m reading this right, our stable genius just negotiated a cut in our trade surplus with the U.K. No wonder they were the first to announce the deal.

With math skills like this, I can see why so many of his businesses failed and he ended up $billions in debt.

Just wait until Carney gets ahold of him!! Yikes!!

Fixed it.

“External Revenue”???? Nope. Importer pays the tariff. For the gazillionth time.

Hey MAGA! Get your discount on your Roll Royce now!

He clearly does believe that the other country pays the Tariff. England was probably flabbergasted at the deal!

UK not England.

Sorry.

😃

The UK gets things cheaper than they did a week ago but still much more than a month ago. It's a hollow victory for a British Government that becomes more unpopular by the day.

Art of the Deal means: zero sum game. Trump gains something; you actually lose something. If more people realized this, trump wouldn’t be able to buy a nickel if he offered a quarter.

There are carve outs. Linda McMahon was in the market for a Rolls Royce so we rolled back tariffs on British autos until she decides on a color.

Math was never his strong suit! Come to think of it, he doesn't have a strong suit!!!

He has suit .. a blue one for funerals

He was desperate to announce "a deal" so they quickly put out this announcement, which is not a legally binding trade agreement but a high-level strategic declaration of intent. The details are still to be worked out, but they weren't concerned with that, just with the PR of the announcement.

You talking about Trump or Starmer?

That’s because the immigration.

None of this entire bs move by a bs convicted felon in chief, makes any sense! IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE

Well! I won't be buying anything that comes from the USA especially foodstuff. fuck knows what they put in the food chain, but their factory farming sucks, the UK is not that far behind them now either

More like “Shart of the Deal”.

Did someone just ask how you bankrupt a bunch of casinos?

Typical display of the Trump business model

We already had a trade surplus with the UK. This is Trump’s ‘big deal’?

Exactly. If it’s about trade surpluses and deficits, as Trump says, there should be no tariffs on any UK goods

Don’t want your beef or your tobacco thanks. All the Brits want are Levi’s, Skechers and those teeth whitening strips

I’m trying to not buy anything that’s American now on principle. I can certainly live without chlorinated chicken and contaminated vegetables.

Those aren’t made in America anymore. Maybe, y’all could make a deal with the companies where they are made?

But I guess the companies are listed in the US?

Go vegan, quit smoking and dab yer toothbrush in peroxide before toothpaste every two days and a smidge of baking soda will whiten yer teeth. Cheers!

This is a recording: Break stuff so you can brag about “fixing” something. (Cut and pasted)

Problem is they don’t fix anything.

I see parts on there- China deals do not exist lol so maybe dummy’s solution was to cozy up to the UK as an emergency plan b lol

And they know it- so now they are getting the deal while we suffer because Humpy Dumpy has never and will never be, a businessman.

Total coincidence that Bentley, Rolls Royce, McLaren, Lotus and Jaguar are there. Italy will be next.

We have a teenage boy with weird fantasies running the government. Can’t wait for June- I hope I see you out there friend. 🪧✊🏻

I think shit'll pop off f'realz at Trump's Birthday Pride Parade. I'm already hoardin bike locks.

It will for sure. He’s already given the force more power and I know he’ll call martial law. Violence makes his pinky twitch so for him, perfect birthday. I’ve been reminding people of a few things- make sure you are prepared with your bike locks to be unrecognizable on the street. 😎

I should probably wear safety glasses, huh.

lol I just caught your joke there lol 😂 no I think you’re great 😂😂😂 my bad friend

Just in case friend- looking out for you. We all need to make it to the next day to continue going. 🫶🏻🙏🏻

🎯

But they’re white!!!

It’s called the art of the deal. Either support it or join the resistance!

Ao we will buy fruit and meat from UK when Argentina and Brazil has better and it is closer. Cannot wait for those UK grown papayas, water melons and mangos in January!

www.iceland.co.uk/p/yorkshire-... I've looked all over Yorkshire and can't find the tea plantations. You may be out of luck with your shopping list.

Thanks for grassing us up George!

Art of the Idiot.

At least we've agreed to let you try to sell us your shitty poisoned "food". You should be grateful. You've haven't said thank you even once. Pricks.

We actually havn't. All food imports have to meet current food safety standards.

(we won't buy it, btw)

Don't blame you

Nigga go talk to the rapist in chief

Don't buy it. I wish America has the food quality control in Europe.

Trump was so desperate to sign “any” deal he took it, which on face value is terrible for the US. You could make it up, “The Shart of the Deal”.

So we had a surplus and now we don’t-right?! These ppl running things are complete idiots!! Every time Pete Navarro is mentioned- I’m like- that dude had to be pardoned…he’s a criminal but yea…let him be the mastermind of US trade! 🤦🏼‍♀️ btw- the guy has a net worth of A million $$-that’s it!

Tired of winning yet?

That's what true friendship looks like: care for your friends more than you care for yourself 🤭

Them mathing skills

See, that's the benefit of have a "great negotiator" for a President!

Americans really got the deal when they let the trump. He doesn’t support the constitution, allows people to be ripped off the streets and thrown in jail and steals/cheats at every opportunity even on the golf course.

The other part of the deal is trump getting a golf tournament at his course over there.

No doubt.

A golf tournament at a Trump resort in the UK you say? I can't wait:

There's a great deal of opposition to the golf proposal. The protests last time he was here will be overshadowed by the next one.

"90 new taxes in 90 days." Americans are screwed.

90 #Bribes in 90 days! #IMPEACH

Do you think this is on purpose?

Not sure. Is he that stupid for real or has he gotten orders to destroy the U.S.? Or could it be both? 🤔🧐🤨😒

Idiot never knew what a good deal was, he was always looking for a quick buck and not the details.

Starmer is playing the Wide Load Delinquent Orange Walrus like a fiddle. 😂

For a con man, he's weak. They know if you schmooze him, they'll get the better deal. Xi is toying with 🍊💩.

Sell out USA so wealthy can get their UK Rolls Royces a bit cheaper .

Don't worry, I don't know anyone who's actually planning to buy US goods, especially the hormone injected beef, and chlorinated chicken

Had to double check, my meal prep service frive.co.uk is already committed to use only red tractor (British) meat!

LoL those standards sound like a fancy label for absolute crap.

Yeah the UK doesn't import much us ag because of all the hormones and pesticides we use

I read it as us folks in the UK will be paying more for US goods. Including things we don't even want, like chlorinated chicken and hormonal beef #NoWinners

If, y’all don’t buy it, your stores won’t import it. Nothing Krasnov or your government can do about that. Just like with Teslas! No one can FORCE any of us to buy anything! 😁

I used to think that Trump didn't understand tariffs. But considering that it's the US government that gets the revenue, so Trump believes that money is then his. Yes, he almost definitely knows what he's doing. Corrupt to the very end.

No-one in the UK with a moral compass is buying anything American.

Have cancelled a holiday to California. Going to Canada instead. Not putting my money into that economy! Have been there 14 times before

As a Californian, I understand and support your decision. We hate Trump, too (most of us)

Loved my previous visits to the states. Nice people. But now I just can’t support what is happening. Makes me sick to my stomach. Basic decency dead

I’m sorry. Looking forward to the day you can return. Bells will ring throughout the world that day.

Thank you. I hope that you enjoy your vacation.

We’re glad to have you come and visit us!!🇨🇦

Where I can, I absolutely won't. Not many in the UK have a moral compass though, as we've seen from the recent local elections.

😞😭

Maybe he's doing this stuff so more Britains will vote for the conservative idiots more.

The only good thing to come out of the recent elections is the near-death of the Tories

Eh, not much changed. We traded one bag of dicks for another bag of dicks.

Genius deal maker… 🥴

Absolute Idiot.

Wasn’t there some kind revolution over this kind of thing? Like 250 years ago? What do I know Americans are only good at cognitive dissonance now

We have had a SURPLUS trade with the UK.

Hes. It a very bright man. #whartonschoolofbusiness. Keep hashtagging them so they own this guy or they speak out to save their reputation

Come on and impeach him n his entire cabinet.

So when his supporters buy all their Jaguars and Land Rovers and Rolls Royces it'll be good for them. Right? 🙄

🤣 Will they be able to afford them after buying all the Teslas? 😏😂

He’s an idiot. Much of Europe wouldn’t touch our beef or many of our food products because of all the crap we feed our cattle or additives/hormones/pesticides/sweeteners in our other food.

Why would I (living in a village in south Germany) buy American food if I can buy from at least three Bavarian farmers in the neighborhood? If I want to know how they make their produce I just have to knock…

Agree. They absolutely know the difference. Someone is gonna lose money but Brit’s won’t buy this shit.

I'm pretty certain that orange rapist felon has written as many books as he's read in his life. Zero. He's an expert at nothing other than being a piece of shit.

So MUCH winning!!!!

And ZERO tariffs on UK steel and aluminum exports. How is that a win?

🙄

Our supermarkets are already saturated with american goods. I don't want want the animal feed coming to UK as we tried to eradicate BSE but America not so much

Sorry, but it makes no difference to me - I’m avoiding buying products made in the US, wherever I can. I have to get a new PC later this year and that means I will not be spending on Dell or HP. That’s how it is 🤷‍♂️🤷🤷‍♀️

Total trade between Canada and the USA is over 900 billion dollars. Yet Trump continues to say he doesn't need Canada. Since there is nothing we produce that they need.

We will celebrate his death..

There will be a global party when that monster takes a dirt nap

Looks like “The Art of the Deal” has been rebranded to “The Art of the Steal”. Apparently, getting “the best deals“ now means paying more while others pay less. At this rate, will be negotiating ourselves into last place. Guess we’re really making history, just not the kind we were hoping for.

That's one road to UNION BUSTING over here. Everyone loses, without unions to represent workers.

Didn’t we already fight this war once before?

That is exactly the point of the tariffs. Others lower, US raises = theoretically more US manufacturing due to price competitiveness overseas. I am not a fan of any of this in execution, but let’s not pretend this is some newly discovered repercussion.

Yes. We pay more so the billionaires can get a tax cut.

Inevitably, the right wing press in the UK are calling this a huge failure for Starmer (no criticism of the tangerine toddler though, obviously) and that Brits are getting ripped off big time.

Meanwhile desperate car buyer Drumpf already negotiating against himself in the China showroom while the savvy and experienced car salesman from China just sits back and smirks

Art of the Steal. Well played UK.

The U.K. is probably going to boycott American goods. A reminder that this was never about making America great “again”. It was only ever about destroying America to rule over the ashes so he can hurt people he doesn’t like.

IMO, I think Trump is trying to hurt all the people who don't like him and never have or will. The few that do are just collateral damage.

Make it make sense🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s financial abuse… bsky.app/profile/cher...

Idiots. Purposefully destroying 🇺🇸

Winning yet? Please inform me when we're winning so I know when to clap.

You have been officially winning since his inauguration, if you don't clap you will be detained by ICE⚡⚡ and interned in a new reeducation centre in El Salvador

Plump is such a loser

Brits hate the tariffs just as much, but the #Felon47 régime wants to tag on hormone injected beef & chlorinated chicken 🤮 amongst other substandard foods (by European standards) to the deal.

Future generations will retitle that book, as "Shart of the Deal."

Kickbacks??

I just want real haggis

And stupid maga will think that their savior negotiated a great deal and brought the UK to its knees.

Trump and his minions are laughing their butts off. They are sadistic a holes.

Despite this the winners are the buyers of Rolls Royce's. They come in free. tfg protecting his closest allies.

Britain first.

So now tRump's grand success, NOT!, has him wandering fr 1 country's reps to another flogging his pathetic trade deals. Will he have a Memorial day sale like a mattress store? OK, DT you need 2 sweeten this deal! Then he'll purse his lips like he's gonna back out. Seen it b4. Donaldo delenda est

So the increased tariff on goods coming from the UK will decrease demand which will cause less goods to come from the UK, which will decrease the tariff revenue. The regime is full of idiots.

The difference between him and most grifters is they don’t have a cult following that intimidates, threatens, harasses, and attacks anyone that tries to hold them accountable.

You are so correct! The Upper MAGA cult is so wired to destroy America and to gain all the wealth and power!

And increase demand for the US version of that good thus increasing prices for US goods to US customers

That is assuming a US good exists. In many cases, like auto part, there is no US manufacturing of them so there is no US part

Yup. Genius isn’t it?

For conservatives, Republicans like Lord Dampnut it's about his own power and businesses primarily, but perhaps also American business, CEOs, selling more product, making more profits; it's not about US consumers getting cheaper goods. Some US workers may get a small bit of the additional profits.

The thing is, Lord Dampnut wants support from the right leaning, fascist friendly economic establishment, the elite, and he knows the conservative, Republicans base, their voters, who may be consumers or workers, are far too stupid and compliant to object to the arrangements.

The stable genius thinks he’s a wonderful negotiator. He doesn’t even understand how tariffs work, and this proves it.

Dummy trump doesn’t understand tariffs

🦋 headquarters is in Seattle, united states.

He really thinks tariff revenue comes from these other countries. Or, he knows it's bullshit and is planning on shifting income tax for the rich over to tariff tax for all other Americans. Dumb people don't get this and we have over 70 million dumb people, at best estimate.

Honestly, I don't think he believes that at all. Who ever put this plan together knows exactly what they are doing. Questions is, what else is coming.

It’s a cult. They believe whatever Dear Leader says to be true.

He really thinks it. He isn’t that smart.

The thing with malignant narcissists is that contradictory information doesn't even get in there. The tariff thing is the only policy idea that Trump has ever really had. And now people are telling him he didn't really understand it in the first place. He doesn't even hear that shit, guaranteed.

📌

...and the UK market he's claiming we'll have access to appears to be comprised primarily of things we produce in the US... Beef, cereal grains, fruits, vegetables, tobacco...?

Well if you buy a Rolls Royce you don’t have to pay a tariff. 🙄

I'm beginning to think that Trump hasn't read The Art of the Deal.

The guy that ACTUALLY wrote it regrets doing it 🤔😊 www.cbsnews.com/news/tony-sc...

Not a surprise.

"Trump is not only willing to lie, but he doesn't get bothered by it, doesn't feel guilty about it, isn't preoccupied by it," Schwartz said. "There's an emptiness inside Trump. There's an absence of a soul. There's an absence of a heart."

I'd say that's a safe bet. He's read it as many times as he's read Bonfire of the Vanities. But also, he's finding out that you can't bully the whole world into being screwed. You're watching a man who has surrounded himself with sycophants and neophytes encounter hostility and resistance.

He didn’t write it either

He can’t read you’re giving Dumb DonOld way too much credit.

He didn’t not write it so yeah he did not read it. He has never met a book he wanted to read.

He didn’t write it either

$6bn revenue = US taxpayers paying more tax

This is crazy!

Sounds like a win to me. American companies get more business. There aren’t too many things that mid-Americans can afford from Britain. I guess that’s one way to tax the rich.

And just wait until you see what we WON’T be buying. We’re friends with Canada.

Hell yeah

What a moron this president is, WTF

How about those deals from the master of idiots?

Yes. And the UK is locked out of any deal with the EU

So the UK is letting us buy more goods from them and Trump is going to tax them for us?

*Trump is taxing *US* for them while reducing the tariffs they were paying to our sellers.

He’s so stupid and some Americans are stupider than him

Numbers are hard.

The main issue is that the UK don't want goods from the USA. In general they are substandard.

What a deal maker ROFL

As negotiated by an 🍊🤡 who understands nothing

You do realize that the 10%tariffs on U.K. products will only be eliminated once the U.K. fulfills their obligations to the trade deal. So, it is in U.K.’s best interests to satisfy their obligations as quickly as possible.

The gotcha on this is that the US can sell American products in the UK that meet UK standards. Most US meat didn't (and still doesn't) meet UK standards (for reasons ranging from animal welfare to the US meat getting a chlorine wash), and it'll get much worse with fired inspectors.

And "US fruits and vegetables"? Would those be the ones that we're basically no longer producing due to labor shortages?

Oh, how the turntables...

Art of the deal indeed. But on British part 🤣

Trump needs to be in a nursing home. This is too much for him.

This is insanely 1984.

Trump Tax

youtu.be/_vwhKYDuOsw?... Nokings.org @indivisible.org Time to take action will you show up and defend your freedom. We are stronger together. The rich wage war and it the poor who die.

That’s why FOTUS didn’t pass math or understand how it works.. lazy ass

How many businesses of his went bankrupt again? At least 7?

Not all his enterprises went bankrupt, some were shut down for fraud.

I can't decide which is worse lol probably the fraud, but he wants to bankrupt our entire country.

This is true

Yes, the Americans are paying more. But where does that extra money go into Donald's pocket? He needs to be impeached, add removed, and his assets are seized along with Elons.

The art of the grift

They are all idiots every single one on his administration is an idiot.

Anything for a pseudo headline And a Rolls Royce

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Brits won't buy hormone-grown beef from any country.

No we absolutely will not! Or American chocolate.

You don't like Reese's 😯

It's just ok. Bit sweet and synthetic tasting though.

Google UK is your friend on that one. To anybody familiar with quality chocolates of Belgium or Switzerland - or even industrial British stuff - U.S. output tastes distinctly of acid reflux. It's truly vile. Special mention to those nasty things that look like 'poo' Emojis covered in silver foil.

Things I wish I never knew 🤣 they're eating the cats, they're eating the poo tasting chocolate 🤣 Thank you for this in-depth analysis. I'm going to recall my American family, it's time they moved. Nevermind the politics, they deserve poo-free chocolate.

This! Used to work in a place where returning staff would fill a communal biscuit barrel with sweetmeats from their travels. Somebody came from the USA with these once. You'd only ever eat one, the barrel contents never shifted & eventually quietly binned. The only time anybody would swear at work!

🤣 my aunt used to bring us Hershey's crap, as kids we asked her to please stop 🤣🤣

That ain't chocolate!

True. What IS it? Aside from rancid? How can chocolate taste bad?

Or chlorine washed chicken.

Nutlick thinks our beef is weak!

Damned right we won't. But I'd happily portion out Lucky Charms and let the kids have them instead of sweeties. They have about the same nutritional content but might work out cheaper 😜

ahhh me Lucky Charms ☘️🇮🇪

"Art of the Kneel" man strikes again!

Tbf it's about time we got something even vaguely in our favour. It's been a rough 10 years 🙂🇪🇺🇪🇺

I’m so mad at my ancestors for coming to this shit hole instead of overthrowing the kings in their shitholes

As a Brit I am disgusted that our PM is playing his game and was appalled by how he appeased 🍊 on the phone at the press conference.

Hey, no one is forcing you buy our crap same as no one is forcing us to buy yours.

If he'd win any harder we'll all be bankrupt by the 4th of July.

Yep, unless it is for a Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Austin Lamborghini, Landover.. etc 🙄🤣

But, but, green line means good, no?

The “best negotiator”…

Right now not many people outside the US want to associate themselves with brand #America. American products were never great quality, but people wanted a piece of what America stood for. No longer. #trump has damaged the brand and it will take decades to repair.

Nah, Nobody wanted "what america stood for" except for gullible people from the US who thought that the US wasn't an Imperialist nation.

I have a few lodge cast iron that I bought ages ago and are fine pieces... Thinking of buying le Creuset instead, definitely not buying lodge again

There was a time American products were of excellent quality. The shift in materials cheapened them and affected the quality. I have a box fan built in 1946. USA made. Solid steel. Still works great. Can't say what they make today will still be working in 60+ years.

They purposely make things shitty so we have to replace them.

You are correct.

Wait till you factor in the 10% decline in the dollar - that’s had a greater impact than all the tariff nonsense. And no - none of us are buying anything from the US anymore…

He SUCKS. Let’s FIRE him.

If Trump keeps making these deal, Americans will be paying more for much less and the rest of the world will be lining up to make deals like this. Americans will be the suckers thanks to Trump. Unless they want to buy a Rolls-Royce.

He still thinks he’s winning. Such a dope.
