TOI correspondent from Washington: MAGA supremo Donald Trumpclaimed on Tuesday that many countries are calling him and “kissing my ass… dying to make a deal” after he unleashed a tariff war that has upended global trade.
The US President did not name any nations during a speech at a dinner hosted by the Republican Congressional Committee, but said that they were calling him and that they would “please please let me make a bargain, I’ll do something, I’ll do something sir.”
” 那些国家纷纷打电话来, 亲我的屁股. 他们急着想达成协议, 说’求求您了, 先生, 让我们达成协议吧. 我们什么都愿意做!'” 特朗普在 NCRR 晚餐会上的讲话
这虽然是一个共和党国会议员党团的会议, 仍然被电视直播, 全世界都看到了. Kiss my ass 可以被翻译成 … pic. twitter.com/zpKyonADeC

Trump made it known last week that he has a “very creative call” with To Lam, the Communist Party of Vietnam,” who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their taxes to ZERO if they are able to reach an agreement with the US.” He called South Korea’s operating president on Monday to talk about business issues. Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, even met him in the Oval Office. Beyond this, the White House has never made any contact information public, substantially less those that were seen as having an ass kissed.

Trump also made fun of US lawmakers who are attempting to recapture legislative authority to impose tariffs in his statement, claiming that Congress is terrible at negotiations and that he is aware of what he is doing. ” I am aware of what the devil I’m doing.” You and I both know what I’m doing, and I also know what I’m doing. You voted for me because of this.
Trump is known to apply obscene phrases and exaggeration without taking into account the specifics, but the most recent volley upset even some of his MAGA supporters, who claimed it was disrespectful of the leader to use such speech. There is no way to communicate about different nations in that way. One admirer wrote on X that all of his negotiating strategies could be used against him, and the American people may end up footing the bill for all of his arrogance.
