Things that get used everyday?  Yea. 

But sure I left appliances and automobiles off the list cause we typically don’t buy those dozens of times a year.

Spin.....spin.....spin....

Do you ever get tired of the mental gymnastics you have to jump through to always have Daddy Donald's back?

Do you ever think it may be easier to use your own brain (some would call it common sense) to form your own opinion about something, maybe just once?

I guess I know the answer to that second question since you've been defending him all week for protecting a bunch of kid fuckers.

You did not finish your last sentence. You need to edit it and add “just like biden did.”

Fair enough, so you put your Daddy Donald at the same level of human as Biden?  Got it.

Did Donald also bang his daughter in the shower?  Or did he only bang kids when he was with Epstein?

Seems the only things your sure of are the things your Daddy Donald tells you to think or any time you can insert a "whataboutism".

When it comes time for you to use your own brain you seem to falter heavily.

Just the kinda minion that Daddy Donald loves..... blindly loyal and not smart enough to question anything.

Another big trade deal.......

Trump secures historic $550B trade deal with Japan: 'Never been anything like it'
Historic agreement promises hundreds of thousands of new American jobs and opens Japanese markets to US products

A "massive" $550 billion trade deal has been reached with Japan, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, adding that it will create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

"We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits. This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it."

Trump said Japan will open its country to trade in things like cars, trucks, rice and other agricultural products, as well as pay reciprocal tariffs of 15% to the U.S., under the deal.

So...

President Trump is selling our rice to Japan.

 

And on a very related note, even msnbc has admitted that the whole, tariffs will create hyperinflation, narrative has taken a big dump.

(Or "great" as it's been recently renamed)

Opening the Japanese market to our vehicles is huge.

Meeting in Stockholm next week with chyna.

Getting them to begin purchasing our products, isn't anything we should be holding our breath in anticipation of.

Go run along boy.

Your weak trolling act has played out 

And now your just a bore.

But, calling you out for being a perverted creep, projecting your innermost twisted fantasies onto others, and all by using your own words you post every time you go on your rage posting tears, was entertaining.

The Japanese market has been open to American made vehicles for a long time with no tariffs.

the fact that few American manufacturing plants make a Right hand drive version is probably the biggest hurdle,

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/07/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-unprecedented-u-s-japan-strategic-trade-and-investment-agreement/

RESTORING AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL POWER: Japan will invest $550 billion directed by the United States to rebuild and expand core American industries.

This is the single largest foreign investment commitment ever secured by any country and will generate hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs, expand domestic manufacturing, and secure American prosperity for generations.

At President Trump’s direction, these funds will be targeted toward the revitalization of America’s strategic industrial base, including:

Energy infrastructure and production, including LNG, advanced fuels, and grid modernization;

Semiconductor manufacturing and research, rebuilding U.S. capacity from design to fabrication;

Critical minerals mining, processing, and refining, ensuring access to essential inputs;

Pharmaceutical and medical production, ending U.S. dependence on foreign-made medicines and supplies;

Commercial and defense shipbuilding, including new yards and modernization of existing facilities.

The United States will retain 90% of the profits from this investment—ensuring that American workers, taxpayers, and communities reap the overwhelming share of the benefit.

 

How does the US retain 90% of the profits from such an investment -will it be the Japanese companies opening US based subsidiaries to keep profits in the US? (I don't get it... I work in motorsport and am no way an expert in the complexities of global economics)

 

as for tariff related price increases... it isn't an instant change for all items, you would expect to see large companies passing on the burden of this tax after a certain amount of time (depending on when said companies review prices...)

for example There are rumblings that Toyota are going to raise global prices to offset profits lost due to absorbing the import tariffs over the past x months
