We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits. This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it. Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things. Japan will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%. This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Big pair of wins here, and I think the Japan one also contains an LNG portion (the thing that wasn’t exactly embraced under the last administration).
So much done in 6 months.
This is what we voted for.

No way!
Meanwhile the democrats are wandering around in their self made wilderness, leaderless, no policies, evolving into the democratic communist party.
Their rally cry is,
“Epstein! Epstein! Epstein!”
The American people are sick and tired of the TDS witch hunts. Long gone are the glory days of RFK when the democrats stood for something and cared about working class Americans.
Now it’s AOC and the squad, Zohran Mamdani and the like who are in control of the Democratic Party.

Trump is making Japan Great Again...
Toyota Motor Corporation +$20.79 (+12.23%) in pre-market!
"Trump Sends Toyota Stock Soaring. The Japan Trade Deal Is Scary for Ford, GM."
"Trump made a trade deal with Japan. It’s great news for the Japanese auto industry. It isn’t a win for Ford Motor and General Motors, though."
"Detroit Three automakers raise concerns about Japan trade deal."
Matt Blunt, who heads the American Automotive Policy Council that represents the Detroit Three automakers said,
"Any deal that charges a lower tariff for Japanese imports with virtually no U.S. content than the tariff imposed on North American built vehicles with high U.S. content
is a bad deal for U.S. industry and U.S. auto workers."
And Americans will pay a 15% tax on every item they buy from Japan. (Tariffs are regressive taxes that impose a heavier burden on poor and working-class Americans (MAGA) compared to the wealthy.)
Prosperity!! LOL

LurkerMom: Long gone are the glory days of RFK when the democrats stood for something and cared about working class Americans.
Umm.
Let's say Mad King Donald stays firm on a 15% tariff rate across the board on all imports and let's say that once exemptions are deducted (based on previous trade agreements and such), American consumers and businesses will end up paying a 15% tax on about $3 Trillion of imports... or a tax hike of about $450 Billion.
In total, all American businesses together paid about $525 Billion of corporate income taxes to the US government.
For Japan specifically, Boeing gets a sweetheart deal and American rice producers get a little something something. And an LNG pipeline project gets a some cash, too.
But here's the bottomline: American consumers will pay about 15% more for cameras, phones, appliances, electronics, and a wide range of other consumer goods, so tell us, please, how paying higher taxes by paying more for those goods helps "working Americans."
Sorry, that just doesn't sound like "winning."
In other new, June housing sales just hit a 10-month low, beef prices hit a record high, Hershey announced it's raising candy prices by double-digits, and I'm still paying over $3.00 for a gallon of gas.

Over what period of time (my guess, unspecified)?
Specifically, who will be monitoring that this is actually spent (my guess, no one)?
The devil is always in the details.
My money is on that it is just an example of figuratively and hyperbolically and my guess is that it will end up being closer to $5.50 then $550 billion.

The Art of the Deal. I had a friend who bid me read that book - he was impressed. He got into a lot of businesses, but didn't seem to stay on one. He's the only Chinese-Slav Nazi that I know of. He's convinced himself he's a blend of two superior races. His Philippine attorney had the police pick him up when he went on an anti-Filipino rant - how inferior they were - in the attorney's office.

Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman on Trumps latest trade deal...
"About That Japan Deal, Arithmetic has a well-known globalist bias."
"There are three main things you should take away from this deal:
1. It will increase, not reduce, the U.S. trade deficit
2. It will accelerate America’s descent into crony capitalism
3. U.S. consumers are still facing a major price shock"
