Donald Trump Was Asked About A Key Promise. What Followed Was Pure Gibberish.

The president rambled, boasted, appeared to immediately contradict his own comments and more.

Donald Trump was asked by a reporter on Monday to explain what had happened to his administration’s promise to seal “90 deals in 90 days” with trading partners.

Instead of outlining the dozens of deals with foreign countries that he previously boasted would be completed by Wednesday — the 90-day mark since his so-called Liberation Day in April — the president just waffled, talked about a couple of frameworks and possible deals in place and then appeared to suggest his plan now mainly involved sending letters to foreign governments and telling them the tariffs that their products will now be subject to when they are imported into America.

1. and yikes, his orange hairline!!!! Look at the other men sitting there........no such boundary.

Oh yah, bad day for the makeup person.

3. Lol.

[IronLionZion]

8. That's the real border crisis he should worry about

[zeusdogmom]

12. That was the very first thing I noticed

What a pathetic putz

[cannabis_flower]

16. I think

The makeup guy is him.

[Demovictory9]

2. The 3 men around him, kerping their faces carefully neutral. 😅

Can't let the boss see your eyes roll. Don't snicker at his bad makeup job

[Hugin]

4. Similar to the word salad issued by him when asked how long detainees would be held in the concentration camps.

That one was even more chilling because it was clear there was no plan and detention would be open ended.

I guess they should have asked President Miller.

How many more of these rants on critical policy issues are we to be subjected to before someone who is listened to says the would-be emperor has no brain?

5. The dog ate his homework

[sop]

6. "The president rambled, boasted, appeared to immediately contradict his own comments" should be the lede

in every news story written about Trump.

7. I like Grok's answer in that X thread

This clip reveals Trump's negotiation style as heavy on bluster and threats but light on delivery. His "90 deals in 90 days" pledge has produced only a handful of agreements, with most efforts reduced to tariff letters. While deals like USMCA show some success, repeated overpromising undermines his "master negotiator" claim, per analyses from NYT, WSJ, and CNN.

9. I'm going to bet that he rehearsed that answer and the question was pre-planned.

As bad as it is, it could have been worse.

[MLWR]

10. I think the majority of the nations of the world have figured out

that Krasnov doesn't really have the "leverage" he thinks* he has and they don't have to cower to his threats.

[GiqueCee]

11. The monstrous evil of this man...

... defies comprehension.

[maxsolomon]

13. He's incapable of directly answering a question.

This isn't news.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Trump lies

No surprise.

15. "We have 'concepts' of a plan" ----

(Donald Trump, in his debate against President Joe Biden, about some other subject
but seems to apply here as well)
