It must be humiliating to be told "go fuck yourself" in 150 different languages

This is America we’re talking about. If it’s not in English, it doesn’t count.

Poor Bastards don't even have their own language, they have to use one they borrowed.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Oh don’t worry; they don’t use real English. They use a version where they changed the bits they didn’t understand.

Not for trump. He doesn’t feel things like humiliation the way regular people do.

If only there was some kind of office whose entire purpose was to do diplomacy like this with every country on the planet

So it went from "I've done 200 deals" to "there's no way we have time to even talk about 150 deals," and his supporters are fine with this lying incompetence.

Oh well. Gotta keep changing those tariffs so businesses can't make any plans.

I always took it as “we’ve had to do 200 deals with one country. There’s no way we can build this out to another 149….”
