The US has a significant trade surplus with Brazil.
There’s an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
Brazil is the major supplier of coffee to the USA.

And yet the majority of coffee I had there was absolute dishwater.
I have 6-8 coffees a day and I reckon I only had about 8 good ones the whole time, the rest were trash

So much is weak, drunk through a meal.
It explains why Australian baristas do well.
Most were strong but just tasted horrible. The two hotels we stayed at had the best coffee my a mile
It’s legit funny seeing Trump (or his lackey) mostly taking the high road versus Musk.

On his way back from his NJ golf resort, Taco Trump gets asked about the change in the date for tariffs, will it be 9 July, 30 July or 1 August?
He looks bewildered , says the tariffs will cut in by 9 July, according to the tariff set by letter or by Deal. Lutnick has to cut in to correct him, that the tariffs will actually be applied as from 1 August.
(Lutnick doesn’t elaborate whether the usual law of delaying the tariff for goods in transit would apply. It’s probably part of US Customs legislation).
Trump wouldn’t make a fool of himself if he had experts with some trade expertise to keep him out of trouble, like USTR .

I found the ground coffee or beans on sale to be stale or of poor quality, lacking in aroma. I donated friends in NY some top quality Brazilian beans I had brought from Brazil. They noticed the difference.
So everyone on the Epstein list was MAGA. You can bet if there were any Democrats there, their names would be leaked.
But thats my conspiracy theory. Woooooooooooooh

It’s dumbfounding.
Are they stupid because they actually believe it?
Or are they stupid because they follow it knowing it’s a lie.

“We’re going to run 90 deals in 90 days,” Peter Navarro, the White House’s [top trade advisor told Fox Business on April 12, shortly after Trump paused those tariffs—ostensibly to allow negotiations to take place."
They currently have two, and both are only partial agreements or frameworks , not full trade deals.

Bessent just said 'Our new tariff levels are the deals. Hahahaha.
Bessent …“many of these countries didn’t even contact us.”
Trump …"At one point, Trump said 200 deals were possible and nearly done.
“I’ve made all the deals,” Trump said in a Time interview in late April, saying trade negotiations with foreign partners were nearly complete. “I’ve made 200 deals.” "
