Art of the Deal
“But ultimately,” Trump said, “they have to make a deal (1) because otherwise they’re not going to be able to deal (2) in the United States. So we want them involved, but they have to ‒ and other countries have to ‒ make a deal (3), and if they don’t make a deal (4), we’ll set the deal (5).”
Why Trump uses the word "deal" so often? English is not native for me, so I would like to know, is there some hidden meaning in it?
Because he's a fucking moron with a limited vocabulary.
"...brought to you by Carl's Jr. Brought to you by Carl's Jr. Brought to you by Carl's Jr. Brought to you..."
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
Because he has the mind of a 5 year old child that just learned a new word. He is obsessed with deals, its all he can think about. I bet he talks the same way at home. "Hey Donald honey, can you pass me the butter?" - "What do I get in return? Give me a good deal"
It's his whole brand - Art of the Deal was his book (written by someone else of course) and an early attempt to establish a reputation as the ultimate businessman.
Thanks for the explanation!
He’s a big businessman doing deals in business at the business factory. Give him a juice box (Adderall)
Because his name is on a book with the word deal on it so it's part of his brand
And has China said anything about backing off the tarriffs they imposed?
Or did we just get shown the real art of the deal here?
This is why we're going to have supply chain shortages next month, because no company is going to risk a possible 250% price increase based solely on what date the ship happens to make port.
Two weeks we enter The Bad Place
Even if they were to completely back out now, that doesn't look great, but is still probably not enough data to show a trend.
Now that many are reliant on "just-in-time" strategies, supply lines are not nearly as resilient to large trade fluctuations as they used to be, but the spike does mostly match the dip, and could be simply explained as exporters just trying to beat the tariffs by sending product early.
Now if the weeks after are also low... That's another story.
Link to dashboard?
Blink blink. Bigly winning the art of the deal!
He got tired of winning so much.
Who is going to kiss whose arse here?
Trump is sick of backlash so he does this.
Shut the fuck up, you big bitch.
