Trump’s “50/50 chance” EU deal boast today comes hours after EU approved $109B retaliation plan. Biggest achievement? Accelerating a trade war that’ll hit $370B in US exports August X.  

Three weeks ago, negotiators had XX% tariffs nearly settled—until Trump demanded XX% “to show strength.” His “90 deals in XX days” initiative? X completed since April. Canada talks? “Haven’t had luck.” UK/Japan deals? Just tariff threat letters masked as victories. Chaos isn’t strategy—it’s admission of failure.  

When every “deal” is just a prelude to tariffs, America loses twice: first to foreign retaliation, then to global isolation.
