Is NO ONE Going To Question How A Country With A GDP Of $200 Billion.........

[ChoppinBroccoli]

............can pledge $1.2 TRILLION to the United States? So you're telling me you got them to agree to give us SIX TIMES their ENTIRE GDP, and we're just supposed to believe it? Is NOBODY going to call this out?

[Skittles]

1. the media does not question Donald Fucking Trump

I'm currently SICK of hearing them refer to the "BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL" as if it isn't TOTAL FUCKING CORRUPTION.

[Initech]

2. He literally has the vocabulary of a two year old.

[sheshe2]

5. The name calling.

Crooked Joe Biden, Crazy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Lyin' Ted, Nervous Nancy, Crazy Bernie, Little Marco, Tampon Tim, Adam Schitt, Commrade Kamala, Laffin'Kamala. He is a pouty two year old with a potty mouth. He should have been sent to the naughty mat eons ago.

The man has no filter. He is loud, rude, crass and insensitive. The man is unhinged and a clear and present danger to the entire world.

I will repeat...He is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO US AND TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

FACT!

[BurnDoubt]

7. FACT!!!!!

10. comments on Bruce Springsteen's skin

I mean has that baked orange fascist fuck Trump SEEN what he fucking looks like lately?????????

[sheshe2]

25. He is so far gone...

When he looks in the mirror he sees an AI image of himself as Adonis.

[Initech]

24. What's truly scary is that his fans love him for it.

Which makes me think way less of them because they're just as horrible as he is. My biggest fear is that even long after he's gone, someone will attempt to take up his mantle, we must take some drastic steps to ensure this nightmare never happens again.

26. "...loud, rude, crass and insensitive." My alliterative characterization of the SFV (short-fingered vulgarian) -

- contemptible, crude, coarse, crass, common

[sheshe2]

27. Those all work!

[RainCaster]

3. The Orange Mathematician plays 4D chess

That must be it. Kinda like his understanding of how tarrifs work.

[swong19104]

4. What country is this referring to?

I'm sorry, but there's so many eye-rolling comments by various people in the current administration that I can't keep track of all the stupid things they say.

6. Qatar

Trump Seals $1.2 Trillion Qatar Deal: Largest Boeing Order Ever - per the White House

Qatar Airways inks $96B Boeing jet deal during Trump visit
White House says agreements signed by the US and Qatar would lead to an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion. - per Al Jazeera

[sheshe2]

9. Qatar

[bUS, Qatar deals to generate $1.2 trillion in 'economic exchange', White House says

[progree]

13. And the White House $1.2 Trillion statement

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Secures Historic $1.2 Trillion Economic Commitment in Qatar
The White House
May 14, 2025

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-1-2-trillion-economic-commitment-in-qatar/

At a quick read-through, I don't see it adding up to more than a small fraction of $1.2 Trillion unless it includes this:

Today’s announcement builds on yesterday’s $600 billion investment commitment secured in Saudi Arabia.

that alone gets us halfway there, assuming one believes the $600 billion figure. And the "secured in Saudi Arabia" commitment isn't something he did in Qatar AFAIK, but what the heck

THE ART OF THE DEAL: President Trump is securing billions in investments to revitalize American manufacturing, delivering on his promise to bring back “Made in America” and usher in a new Golden Age of prosperity.
. . .

As the dealmaker in chief, President Trump’s latest achievement in Qatar is another win for America..

Bold and all caps in the original

14. Wait!

What!

TSF lied!!!!

Un-FUGGING believable!

[SheltieLover]

16. ...

[sheshe2]

17. ...

[dsc]

20. I think it does

The title says in Qatar not with qatar

[progree]

21. And the text says "$600 billion investment commitment secured in Saudi Arabia." /nt

[dsc]

22. yeah it is confusing to say the least

but signed in and invested in could mean that the saudi stuff counts. But it would be odd that it was signed in Qatar when he was just in Saudi Arabia.

[elocs]

19. I'm glad you asked that because it saved me the trouble. n/t

[BurnDoubt]

8. Invisible Hands, Imaginary Friends, Alternative Facts, And Magical Thinking!!!

What Could Go Wrong???????

[Straw Man]

11. He's a "short-fingered vulgarian."

That is all.

[enid602]

12. collateral

The sale of the jets to the Govt of Qatar would not be secured by Qatar’s future GDP, but rather by the aircraft themselves.

[FoggyLake]

15. I heard that they are quoting the cost in Qatar currency values

If going by the currency exchange rate, the actual number is much less.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Still Too Much

The exchange rate is about 3.7.
So, it's still greater than their their GDP by a lot.

[proud patriot]

18. Where's the Media on this

I'm not asking , I'm Demanding

[spanone]

23. It's easy. trmp lies, media reports without questions.

He's a genius negotiator.....

[stillcool]

29. millions, billions, trillions..

there all the same to Donald & CO, just words to toss around. Preposterous to think that any member of the GOP might say something that's true.
