As an average Dem (jobless, trans, on EBT and living in mommy's basement) I'm getting tired of Republican successes every day and non-stop Dem failures.
Poor Mrs. Takaichi. She barely had time to enjoy her victory, before having to waste her time dealing with that buffoon and his "framework agreements".
Most of these trade agreements are worthless when one party can easily break them with no repercussions.
president Trump ' wow 'I voted for someone who isn't who he said he was! He is more worried about his ball room and making deals to benefit his self…where do the Americans fit in all this ' He said he was going to make America great again… that's definitely ain't happening' we are in a shut down, Americans losing probably their only source of income for food,then we got war their not telling the whole story about that so president Trump how are you exactly making America great again??😮
🇺🇸GOLDEN AGE STARTED when BIDEN was EVICTED from the WH🇺🇸
🙄AND the COMMUNISTs STILL WHINE ON🙄
We Americans could have had our first female president but no you chosen 2X the dictator wannabe and as a result we have lost The West Wing of our house and not only that our honor our respect the trust of other nations and if those regarded laws were not in place the United Nations would have kicked us out by what would be their right to do so and declares a global threat which would also be correct now how does it feel to be a disgraceful people under a disgraceful wannabe dictator who does things for himself or for his rich kind my so-called fellow Americans
Watch and learn dumb democrats. This is economics at the next level. Something that non of leaders know about.
Before Trump, tariffs were a way to keep domestic producers competitive in the domestic market against foreign products by adding a tariff tax making the foreign products the same or slightly higher price than the domestic products. In the free-market system consumer choice is often influenced by cost, national pride and advertising that would say buy domestic instead of foreign. Because of Trump, even if there is a slight opening of the foreign markets to US products, he has made US made products toxic that most of the foreign consumers would rather buy the higher price non-US products than cheaper US products. Even long-time allies of the US would rather buy non-US products or other foreign products costing higher because of Trump’s politicizing tariffs against them. Trump has thrown the GOP MAGA farmers, ranchers and domestic producers under the bus.
Japan: We have no agreement.
Trumps cabinet: We need to sign something so Trump isnt humiliated!
STOP THE SCHUMER SHUTDOWN
Sounds like some good deals to me.
THIS IS WHAT WE 🇺🇸 VOTED FOR
My BS meter is off the charts! Don't forget about the 17 Trillion dollars in Tariffs, & the 18 Trillion in foreign investors in America! That's 35 invisible TRILLION DOLLARS -THAT NOBODY CAN FIND!! WHERE'S THE MONEY, DONALD?!?
Hello MSNBC, it is TAIWAN not THAILAND…! Incredible…
Chinese just stop selling rare earth to TSMC to end ALL US semi, AI, Tesla, Military industry and USA.
All these male dominated countries are voting in women who are amazing. Japan, Mexico etc yet America still in the1950s scared of women
What an absolutely great turnaround for American foreign policy. This new trade agreement with Japan is going to put tremendous pressure on the communist, Chinese and. Xi. to do much better. The United States is a tremendous marketplace that the Japanese have captured. American farmers are going to benefit from the trade deal also. Now the Chinese communist have to step up to the plate.. This is going to be interesting to watch.
Economic performance since World War II
Several analyses of economic data since 1945 show the following trends:
GDP Growth: The economy has grown faster, on average, under Democratic presidents. For example, a 2024 analysis found that annual real GDP growth has been about 1.2 percentage points higher during Democratic administrations compared to Republican ones.
Job Creation: Job growth has been significantly stronger under Democratic administrations. An analysis of data from 1945 to 2023 found that 72% of net jobs were added under Democrats.
Unemployment: The unemployment rate has tended to fall under Democratic presidents and rise under Republican presidents.
Recessions: Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions since 1953 began under a Republican president.
Income Growth: Families at the bottom of the income distribution have seen their incomes grow significantly faster under Democratic administrations.
This ain’t nothing new stupid MAGA we already got military bases in Japan we pretty much on Japan along time ago every since ww2 so this deal was a no braining only the stupid people would believe this was bid take it from a navy veteran and who daughter is in the marines in Japan now let’s see he work china out 😅
he United States is unrecognizable. Instead, it resemble autocracies around the world, such as Hungary and Turkey, which in recent years have severely weakened their democracies and vested inordinate power in authoritarian leaders who serve the interests of themselves, not the public. Once this backsliding occurs, it is incredibly difficult to fix. Make no mistake: This could easily happen in the United States without a firm system of checks and balances. Ominously, the Heritage Foundation, which created Project 2025, and its president declared in July 2024 that they are in the process of the “second American Revolution” and suggested that political violence may be necessary to effectuate their authoritarian blueprint if Americans resist.2
I don’t believe MSNBC has 9 million viewers 🤔
So we can't feed people but more cars is good?🎉 fascism no taxation without representation 🎉
LETS GO TRUMP AND THE NEW PM FOR JAPAN!!! USA USA USA
آینده مال غرب آسیاست نه در ژاپن و پکن😏 نفهم بفهم 🤫
What "partnership" thrives with 24% tariffs? You know, the ones that Donnie pulled out of his, um, "tariff maker" with no warning, and no justification, a couple months ago?
الحمدلله که به خواستم نائل شدم ضمنا همه این کارا کوچکترین اعتباری نداره اگه انقد که برای یه مشت حسود بد ذات و جلب رضایتشون پول و وقت خرج میکنید برای من کرده بودید الان وضعتون این نبود هرگز نمیبخشمتون و تو نمازم بهتون لعنت میفرستم خدا هم نمیبخشه که انقدر منو آزار میدید
(فاطمیه نزدیکه🖤)
NOT-Z. Trump. !
Remember when trump made the best trade agreement of all time with Canada during his first term then went back on his word and tariffed everything , hurting Americans in the process?
How can mentally compromised Trump conduct international affairs?
EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN!!!!!!
(in Japanese)
Japan has been close to us in trade since we blew the crap out of them in WWII.
I wonder how much trump made personally on deal..
Let me guess, you are not going to show how tRump had to be led around the room by the Japanese PM (utterly embarrassing), how he wandered and stopped at one point just freezing. And how he saluted no one. How he bragged about acing a dementia test. His rambling speech to the military. And that ALL playing out on the world stage except you are going to hide it from the people tRump and his failure of a congress is sending into hardship in an attempt to make this look good? Shame on you. Show the american people, show MAGA what a failure the dementia man they picked is.
Its past time to get real.
If you want to see the truth head over to the podcast I've Had It.
Fake leftist low ratings Media 😅😅
🤔Gavin Newsom VS. JD Vance or who ever that is if nothing bad happens between now and later that would keep Trump in if the United States goes to War and depending how bad it is if it affects the elections than Trump will remain
What sort of weirdo did they elect over there? Donny is playing mafia extortion games and she's nominating him for a Nobel Prize?
I could get very crude right about here.
MSDNC watching their future elections crumble before their eyes.
LOL Japan knows to stroke his ego
In the next four years the US will be in a recession because of this piece of trash of a President. Poor excuse for a President.
Golden Age is an Illusion. The Future Belongs to China and the Developing World.
And the Future is Here! …
When he signs the deal with China to make all that plastic garbage for dollar store here in the u.S so Americans can work for Chinese wages and benefits.He's a genius
