President Trump bragged that countries have been “calling us up, kissing my ass” ever since he announced he’d be slapping roughly 90 nations with sweeping tariffs — including a staggering 104% levy on China.
“I’m telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump told the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner late Tuesday — just hours before the tariffs went into effect.

DJT, we love you, but you are bordering on arrogance. Don’t go there.
Let Trump be Trump. It’ll be fine.
Why lay his cards on the table like that? At least he didn’t specify who exactly. Do we want fair trade or to humiliate the opposition?
Just say, “I don’t recall you being upset about tariffs when Biden imposed them on China and Russia.”
Well he did say oil price would come down. Still I don’t know how much longer the public will go along with this which could undo his entire program.
More trump bullshit. By the way, Australia does NOT ban US beef. It does require “that beef products must be cattle born, raised and slaughtered in the United States. Us producers want to export beef born and raised in Canada and Mexico but processed in the US. Trump spins the truth every time he speaks.
I’m starting to regret my vote
This is asinine, insulting and unnecessary to the max!
Leave Chicago it’s a liberal hell hole.
Truth
Trump’s talking out his azz is his signature. His Jerk Personality requires it. Trump can do no wrong.Just ask him. He will tell you so.
Yes - let Trump be Trump!
Those “backseat drivers” should just chill and enjoy the ride!
Agreed. I don’t mind it so much, but it does alienate alot of people and gives our opponents fodder. It’s unnecessary, and a misstep, politically. At the same time, he’s right, and he’s put it all on the line personally for our nation, and it’d be hard not to crow a little...
He’s our guy and doing great things, but he comes with a boorishness that can make doing and defending those things more difficult.
and what they have been doing is NOT humiliating!!!!!?? And you dont think the conversation was as bad or worse when they decided amongst themselves to screw us!!!!!!!??
No.... stop making nice and butch up...
Can we stop shipping beef, pork and chicken halfway around the world, please? Neither direction here makes a lot of sense.
