Nutjobs are going to nut. Sybil is more fun to ridicule than take seriously.
Those three aren't even 'deals' as trade agreements have been traditionally understood.
They amount to frameworks, like Trump's denuclearization "deal" with North Korea - just vague aspirational statements without any specific and legally binding mechanisms for implementation and enforcement.

You claimed to be Blat. Personally, I don't think you are, Tball. I just think you don't know what the hell is going on anymore.

These aren't contracts, Sybil.
^^ Tries to change the traditional definition of a trade agreement so his tangerine hero looks like he is winning.

What "negative effects"?? I suppose you are showing your jealousy again, since Trump obviously knows how to conduct business.
The tariffs are already in place, Blat.
Tariffs don't cause inflation, Blat.
Void reference fallacy. 'Expert' worship.
They ARE working.
You already chanted this.
...annnnnnd the source of your mindless chanting. CNN is wrong, yet again, and you have no ability to see why. You have no mind of your own.

I'm not changing the definition of anything, Sybil. There are no contracts with these trade deals.

Your friend is very strange.
He is... and he is entertained. Shamelessly entertained.
The simpleminded are easily entertained.
Well, he doesn't count there unfortunately. Tariffs and both Republicans and Democrats being on the opposing sides from their own stances on tariffs pre-Trump is not a "simple" thing... but it does entertain him.
