Do people realize these trade deals Trump is bashing are his own trade deals?

Biden didn't do some big redo of the Trump trade deal with with China, this is still Trump's deal. Most of the other trade deals were in place under Trump too. So he's really bashing his own trade policy.

Too bad the media does such a piss-poor job talking about this.

I responded to some MAGA idiot on X by saying “Trump, saving the American worker from unfair trade policies last negotiated by…checks notes…Donald Trump in 2018” 😂 no response from them

is now forgotten. It doesn't matter if you tell people, either. They don't understand and they don't care.

Posted a reference to this fact on a bipartisan board to a poster who usually immediately responds to defend Trump in a split second, and you can practically hear his computer fans humming as he frantically searches the internet for a reason to blame Joe Biden for Trump's trade deals.
