Donald Trump has claimed now claimed that world leaders are so worried about global tariffs are “kissing my a**” in desperate bids to get some reduction in the most pointless trade war ever.
Trump made the bold remark during a 90-minute address as he attempted to court political donors at the National Republican Congressional Committe’s annual fundraising dinner in Washington, D.C.
“These countries are calling us up, kissing my a**” to negotiate deals on tariffs, Trump said just hours before his reciprocal duties went into effect against dozens of nations just after midnight on Wednesday, including a 104 percent levy on Chinese imports.
“They are,” he emphasised. “They are dying to make a deal.”
He then mocked the tariff-deal supplicants, using a pitifully pleading and simpering voice: “Please, Sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything, Sir.”
After facing criticism from his own allies over his staggering tariffs on China, Trump doubled down, insisting they were retribution for the years that China has “ripped us off left and right,” adding “It’s our turn to do the rippin’.”
