National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett appeared on Fox News to discuss the first week impact from President Trump’s global trade reset and implementation of reciprocal tariffs.

Director Kevin Hassett notes that so many countries are calling and requesting to renegotiate their trade agreements, the National Economic Council is having difficulty keeping up with appointment scheduling and establishing a prioritization list for President Trump to review.

That said, Hassett notes that Japan and South Korea will likely be the first two nations for U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and President Trump to engage with. Apparently, Xi Jinping (China) and Ursula von der Leyen (EU) will ride their bicycles in slow circles at the bottom of the White House driveway while angrily staring at the windows.

It looks like Kevin “Quokka” Hassett is having fun.

What I find amazing is Ursula used to be quite pretty when she was young. Just more proof that marxism makes you ugly.

Maybe it would’ve made more sense to focus on China first rather than instigating global chaos. It didn’t take a whole lot of political sophistication to be able to anticipate the logistical bedlam of pursuing dozens of negotiations simultaneously.

The fact that every country is willing to go to a zero tariff under just a little pressure shows just how bad (or corrupt) our trade negotiators have been for decades.
