U.S. President Donald Trump said overnight that global leaders are willing to do anything to make a trade deal with him as American tariffs come into force.
“I am telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump said during a speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner in Washington,
“They are dying to make a deal. ‘Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir,’” he imitated a begging foreign leader.
Trump’s go to economist and tariff fanboy is Peter Navarro. The same Peter Navarro who justified his economic theories in a rather dubious manner:
" In several of his books, Navarro quoted a fictional economist named “Ron Vara”, an anagram of his name, as a source of information."
So at least we know who will get butt raped when it all goes to shit in Trumpington.
I see the King’s invite will be in September. The self-proclaimed Trump Fest in 5 months time will give time for organising massed protest or crowd funding for a permanent solution.
