This is not the deal you're looking for

The U.S. and U.K. are expected to outline an agreement on "heads of terms" for an eventual full trade deal, according to multiple reports in the British media, a key first step.

As usual, Motherfucker exaggerates (lies) his claim.

So this is a solution in search of a problem. As is every drama mongering "crisis" that asshole concocts.

And the actual deal won't be written up for weeks . . . Which in Trump time is sometime between now and never.

We will have fast tracked importing . . . Ah, okay. Do we care if our imports have quick approval. Like, that is an end user problem, not our problem.

The ass kissing was making me ill. Whatever this deal is, Trump and Lutnick made it sound like the best deal EVER, that only a man of Trump’s outstanding caliber could negotiate. The British PM was effusive in his praise of TSF, which means he got the best part of the deal. Cue the MAGAts - ‘See I TOLD you, Trump is the best deal maker EVER’.
