Let's be honest here. No matter what Trump accomplishes the whiny bitches on here will not give him credit for it.

It's weird that you called yourself out like this.

Scrub’s response is very telling and emblematic of the left. Unless Trump’s trade moves are absolutely perfect they will crap on them. They would rather Trump fail than have our nation benefit from his efforts on balancing our trade deficit.

It's ridiculous. Everyone I know took the stance of "let's see what Trump can do." Anyone pretending they're not happy with how things are already turning out is a liar.

bullshite-
It's always been about leveraging better deals by forcing other countries to the negotiation table.
Goal posts aren't being moved, but thanks for the hot take.

Any progress with India and trade is a win for the U.S.
Pull India closer to the U.S. and you not only isolate China, but you weaken all of BRICS. India would prefer to be a G7 country. With India less committed to BRICS, it makes BRICS’s anti-dollar and anti-US ideas less likely to come to fruition.

So companies avoid having to come to America to make these parts? I thought the point was to force companies to over their manufacturing to the US using American labor.

Yep. Countries with cheaper labor are going to continue status quo.

India and the U.S. are actively negotiating a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) aiming to double trade to $500 billion by 2030. Talks progressed significantly in April 2025, with terms of reference finalized for 19 of 24 goods categories. India proposed zero-for-zero tariffs on items like steel and pharmaceuticals and offered tariff reductions on U.S. agricultural products (e.g., frozen meat, fruits) from 30-100% to 0-5%. A rare “forward most-favoured-nation” clause is under consideration to ensure the U.S. gets terms as favorable as any future Indian trade deals.

Go cry some more in the MB.

India has 13 active FTAs and is negotiating new ones to meet its $2 trillion export target by 2030. Recent agreements include India-Mauritius CECPA, India-UAE CEPA, and IndAus ECTA.
Crazy how all of these countries have been in open trade talks, but when Trump does it, you lose your mind.
India wants to move away from China.

I don't want pharmaceuticals from India.

Dirty little secret is that those days are over. What’s more important now is providing a safe country to build multi billion dollar automated factories, and the workforce capable of maintaining the systems that run them. We have that.
Is it disappointing that we’ll never again employ millions in factories? Perhaps. But the bottom line is that these automated factories will be built somewhere. It should be here.
Our government is striking now because industries are in transition: factory wages don’t matter anymore. Very few people will be employed there. Robots work for free. We should not allow China to transition and capture the future of manufacturing. We should do that.

Because they won’t buy this from us anyway. “Here are zero for zero tariffs on shite we’ll never buy from you.”
Whatever. If it allows Trump to claim a win so that we can move on from all this then all for the better.

I think Trump tries to get closer to India and the Middle East. And basically tells the EU to go to hell. Trump is visiting Saudi, Quatar and UAE next week. I’d guess that trip is also about how to handle Iran. Seems like they will all have to band together to stop Israel from bombing Iran.

You’re talking about the doomsayers who said the economy is going to crash and there would be no trade deals, right?

There will be some of both which is a good thing.
