“Letter day” seemed pretty lame and anticlimactic

The “big” highlight of was threatening SK and Japan with 25% tariffs next month of no progress made

The rest of the letters were to random arse nations we barely trade with (Burma, South Africa, Kazakhstan, etc)

I’m actually kind of surprised the markets fell.

It's all lame at this point. Just a bunch of huge nothing burgers.

That's what I thought. Just kick the can down the road and maybe get a few deals signed by 8/1.
Myanmar and Laos ae pretty poor countries. I know we import a lot of textiles from there but could they even afford much of anything we export. Just don't see how many of there poor nations will ever have a trade balance with the U.S.

If we don't balance our trade deficit with Seychelles and Palou then our nation will crumble.

Isn’t SCOTUS supposed to rule on tariffs?

Or is that not happening?

This whole thing is a waste of time until the SCOTUS rules

This is the letter. Most 5th graders could have written it better. The markups are by a Japanese scholar specializing in American government and politics.

The random capitalization is nearly identical to how Trump writes his tweets, so it’s not terribly surprising.

They can balance it with heroin, this would solve the fentanyl issue and hit the chicoms and cartels hare.

I said the letter looks like his tweets. Do you once again deny objective reality? Feel free; it’s kind of your shtick at this point

He's simply a troll at this point.

Brings nothing substantive to any discussion.

Oh I know. Every once in a while, I’ll pop over to the PT just to see what the hive mind is currently prioritizing, and it amuses me to see that he gets dunked on over there just as much as he does here

I hope that’s not really what was sent out. I’m sure there are editors that would handle that in 20 minutes max.

While I imagine there was content editing, I imagine Trump wanted it to clearly look like it came from him. Nearly all of the “errors” are “improper” punctuation that Trump does on purpose.
