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.
“They are. They are dying to make a deal. ‘Please, please, Sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything, sir!’” he said mockingly.

This should be a harsh reminder that one should never, ever, attempt to play hardball with Donald J. Trump, or pull a bluff at the poker table with a pair of deuces.
This has been the best job Donald Trump has ever undertaken in his lifetime. He sharpened all his tools in the four-year hiatus, and now plays to win more than ever.
It ain’t bragging if you really can pull it off.
Why argue about it at all?
There is zero you, your family, or coworkers can do about any of it. Trying to “educate” them is a fool’s errand.
I had folks bitching about their 401(k)s the other day. I asked them what they had invested in? They didn’t know. I simply left it at that.
Trying to explain will just get you grief. Life is way too short for grief.
Amen
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.

Well good morning troll. Just so you know, it makes me smile knowing Trump lives rent free in your head 24/7.
Gunna be a great day, don’t cha think?
Its not like these countries don’t see these statements....love the guy but man he has serious breaches of judgement at times.
“I’m starting to regret my vote
This is asinine, insulting and unnecessary to the max!”
I am forced to wonder, how is it possible to be so stupid as to say that.
Trump is being Trump...He has never used “politispeak” and he won’t...he says just what he feels and he accomplishes more than any other president since Ronald Reagan...
he puts America back where we should be and that’s NOT meek and mild.....
I’m starting to regret my vote

Happy you finally came to your senses. Voting for Kammy was foolish.
I agree - how can Trump be so stupid as to say that

Talk about someone with a breach of judgement....
Seriously, we had George Bush for 2 terms. How did that work out.
For craps sakes people, grow a spine already.

I see all the trolls got together to come dump on this thread.
You people are great entertainment. You actually think people don’t know what you are doing. How cute...
That's the point - other countries see POTUS's comments, but aren't privy to his communications with the other countries, unless additional public comments are made. So if you're a country who hasn't contacted POTUS to kiss his a$$, you are left wondering which of your competitor nations have, and stand to get a deal that's going to leave you in the dust.
Brags???
It aint bragging when you can back it up
Ross Perot, 33 years ago talked about “That Giant Sucking sound”.
I can’t hear it now.
Trump — great on most issues — is getting puffed-up over this one. By continued “not-good-enough” talk. By imposing tariffs even on allied nations like Israel and India. Best to wait until the predicted surrender agreements from the rest of the world are actually signed.
great point!! Instead all they see is little donny calling them names and saying bad words...
Head on back to DU and be with “your” people...LOL
I want to see their puckered lips.
It has not worked out with what we have been doing for 40 years. Trade deficits are growing which is simply transfer of American wealth to other countries. National debt is growing, never will be able to pay off principle, which means paying growing interest every year, already at one Trillion every year.
Therefore it is time to try something else. Stop doing what we have been doing and expect different results. Fair trade deals sound fair to me. No pain no gain is still true.
