Has any honest person actually seen one of these contracts? This Administration was built on lies! The fact is we've already lost Vietnam as a trading partner! China just signed 40 different deals with them today! America loses, China wins!
Trump is bypassing Congress any way!
They are not even needed by him!

I hate stupid Americans who voted for Trump. They're all idiots like Trump. Now I have to endure and suffer his incompetency for four years.
With him, you have to ask what he stands to benefit because he doesn't have the capacity to give a _ about anyone but himself.
i cant stand this guy…
Make ALL the parts in the U.S. that would take forever!
So the rich moved their factories out of the USA to maximize profits? Now their supposed to bring it back? An pay Americans a livable wage 😂😂😂🍿😅
Like my coworker said…. Americans will believe anything….SMH 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏿♂️
the fall of an empire, none is gonna trust the US and they will have zero friends.

It’s trade confusion. It’s trade strategy ! Media continually lies
I wish he'd just go play golf and stay there. He needs to let someone who knows what they're doing take over.
After 10 or so countries negotiate deals, if that can be done, the first countries will complain hey how come these countries got better deals on various items?? Or vice versa with the later countries complaining on their deals. You can't negotiate with 50+ individual countries in 30 days over something important and valued at billions of dollars. As usual Trump will not be able to remember or cover all his lies.
Probably the people that complain about President Trump are poor or just incapable of understanding where we want this country to go
20 countries have sent Donald proposals? I thought there was like 50, or 60, or 70 that were lined up. Anyway, the "President" will release the information soon. Or maybe later. Or maybe he wants to go play golf. Or . . . Full disclosure is amazing, but shouldn't he zip up after?
God bless the USA
This old man is completely out of it. They talked about Biden but at least he had good people around him. Trump is destroying our economy and democratic way of life and Congress does NOTHING!!!
Welcome to Trump seventh bankruptcy United States.
Any bilateral trade agreements will be negotiated in haste if they are going to do 75+ in 90 days. I'll bet it won't cut into Trump's golfing, though.
I love it, when a plan comes together ! ! !
President, please call me, I beg you, Donald, LOL
