    It was a garbage deal, anyways. It was garbage in substance (agreeing to unilateral tariffs???), and it was garbage in that you knew Trump would not even stick with a deal massively in his favor.

    Making deals with the Trump administration is in general an exercise in futility.

    The deal that, I think, was entertained by EU, to keep the orange pedo rapist happy, for a while. It was always a turd sandwich. He just pulled that stupid face thinking he had it agreed. He has in fact, fed that turd sandwich to his own voters
