A White House insider has revealed that the Trump trade war is not real at all. Trump is apparently doing this for attention, to create content for his social media, and to be an agent of chaos.
The story from Politco highlights that as we approach the 90 day self induced Trump dealline for countries to secure trade deals with the US, the rest of the world is convinced that TACO Trump plans on having to extend out his ultimatum deadline again as so far there doesn't seem to be a cohesive negotiating unit.
Trump apparently has placed three people, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, as his crack team to negotiate all the deals, but no one seems to understand the basic process of negotiating a trade deal, and it's not clear how much communication is occuring between his three appointees. Foreign countries are sending agents to negotiate, and those agents are not even able to get face time with Trump's three clowns.
The foreign trade representatives who have managed to get meetings with the trio of idiots walk away confused, as even the Trump team doesn't seem to know what exactly they are looking for in trade deals. Some countries have come to actually play Trump's game and give him a lot of concessions, but then Trump bashes them on social media, undoing any negotiations that might have happened. The Insider's theory is that Trump likes the chaos more than actual results.
It's clear Trump's promise of 90 deals in 90 days will not happen. And the few deals he has made are horrifically bad for Americans.
Then again, Trump Always Chickens Out...
