Trump NEC director Kevin Haslett said today that 130 nations are negotiating with the use on trade following the implementation 
of president trump's tariffs.

This Tariff Cliff has brought 135 countries to the negotiating table, keeping 10% tariffs on everyone, all while slapping 
communist China with 125%.

**Trump knows what he's doing!**

Trump administration now negotiating with *135* countries on trade and tariffs.

"GREAT" offers coming from Japan, Korea, India, etc... 

This comes as Trump put on a pause for lower tariffs for everyone except China.

ECONOMIC COUNCIL DIR. HASSETT: "If you come to the table and negotiate with us... we'll get your rate low! 130 countries have 
responded, we're negotiating with them! They got their rate down to 10%."

"Orderly, it's clear, people are coming to town with GREAT offers."

Trump's Tariff Strategy Pays Off: 130 Countries Now Seeking Trade Deals with U.S.

President Donald Trump's bold tariff campaign, part of his sweeping "Liberation Day" economic offensive, has triggered a 
worldwide rush to the negotiating table. According to National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, an astonishing 130 
countries have now opened trade discussions with the United States-up from just 50 a week ago.

The dramatic surge comes after the Trump administration unleashed a series of tariffs designed to push global partners toward 
more balanced, reciprocal trade agreements. Under the new framework, countries that agree to fair terms are eligible for a 
significantly reduced 10% tariff rate, while others face steep penalties for continuing unfair trade practices or depending too 
heavily on U.S. markets without contributing equitably.

"The response has been overwhelming," Hassett said. "President Trump's strategy is working. Nations across the globe are lining 
up to make deals, and for good reason-if they don't, they face tariffs that put America first."

Key negotiations are already making rapid progress with countries like Japan, South Korea, and India. Some deals are nearing 
finalization, while early-stage talks with China remain ongoing. Trump's advisers say the strategy is about more than economics-
it's about securing America's supply chains, defending national interests, and ensuring that no foreign government can use trade 
as leverage against the United States ever again.

The effort is being tightly coordinated by Trump's top economic team, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury 
Secretary Scott Bessent, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Together, they've built a streamlined operation to 
implement Trump's directives across all departments and deliver results fast.

Hassett emphasized that the administration's approach is unapologetically pro-American: "This isn't about returning to the old 
trade deals that gave away our industries. It's about creating new agreements that protect American workers, rebuild our 
manufacturing base, and make us stronger on the world stage."

The success of the tariff strategy is already being felt at home. American manufacturers are seeing increased demand, domestic 
supply chains are being reactivated, and the stock market has responded favorably to signs of new, stable trade relationships 
taking shape. Trump's team says the goal is to reach deals that are not just good on paper, but enforceable, transparent, and 
fair.

The fact that more than two-thirds of the world's nations are now actively engaging with the United States under these terms is a 
testament to the leverage Trump has reasserted. Where previous administrations sought compromise through weakness, Trump is 
bringing countries to the table through strength.

As Liberation Day tariffs continue to reshape the global economic landscape, the message is clear: America sets the terms now-and 
the world is listening.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
