Donald Trump declares ‘countries are calling, kissing my a‘ as he touts his bold new trade policy.**
At a high-profile GOP fundraiser, Trump claims nations are ‘lining up’ amid ‘historic’ tariff strategy
In a bold proclamation during Tuesday night’s National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising gala, former President Donald Trump declared that countries are “lining up” for trade talks following the rollout of his latest trade policies. He hailed the ongoing “tariff situation” as not only favorable but “historic,” underscoring his confidence in the economic direction he’s championing.
Echoing Trump’s assertive tone, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reinforced the administration’s stance earlier today. Speaking from the White House, she described the tariffs as powerful bargaining tools, adding, “Bring us your best offers, and he will listen.”
Trump Boasts World Leaders Are ‘Kissing My A’ for Deals, Slams GOP Critics at Fundraiser**
Former President Donald Trump didn’t mince words at Tuesday’s GOP fundraising event, delivering a fiery speech where he claimed global leaders are practically begging for trade deals under his new policy.
“These countries are calling me up, kissing my ass… they’re dying to make a deal,” Trump declared. “Please, please, sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything.”
But his fire wasn’t just aimed abroad — he took a swipe at internal critics too. Targeting dissent within his own party, Trump mocked what he called “rebel Republicans” looking to undermine his approach.
“Then I see some grandstanding Republican saying, ‘I think Congress should take over negotiations.’ Let me tell you something — you don’t negotiate like I negotiate.”
Defiant Amid Backlash, Trump Defends China Tariffs: ‘It’s Our Turn to Do the Rippin’
Despite mounting criticism — even from some of his own allies — Donald Trump stood firm on his aggressive tariff stance against China. At the heart of his defense: a claim that the steep levies are long-overdue payback.
“For years, China’s been ripping us off,” Trump said. “Now it’s our turn to do the rippin’.”
He acknowledged that his 104% tariffs might raise eyebrows, but shrugged off concerns by pointing to China’s own history of slapping massive tariffs on U.S. goods.
Doubling down, Trump boasted about the windfall these measures would generate, claiming, “China will now pay a big number to our Treasury. This is all taxes.”
Critics Call Out Trump’s Tariff Claims as ‘Blatantly False’ as Global Leaders Urge Caution
While Donald Trump doubled down on his sweeping tariffs and boasted about their benefits, backlash was swift — and scathing. Critics across social media and political circles condemned his remarks as misleading and economically dangerous.
On X, user @cmos_eisley vented frustration: “No, seriously, how is there no one to tell him this isn’t how it works at all? He keeps repeating the same incorrect thing and it’s absolutely maddening.”
Another user slammed the Republican response, writing: “How can GOP congressmen sit there, know he’s lying to their faces, and be okay with it while markets crash and people risk losing their jobs? China will pay zero of the tariffs. Zero.”
Across the Atlantic, U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer struck a more measured tone while addressing Parliament’s Liaison Committee on Tuesday.
“My instinct is that we shouldn’t jump in with both feet to retaliate,” Starmer said. “We need to keep our options on the table and do the preparatory work — but negotiating to ease these tariffs is the smarter path.”
