He replied, "I think in terms of the claims by the President that he has already sealed 200 trade deals, I think there are only 195 countries on this earth. So there's five extra," he said, adding, "and it's unclear how the administration could have sealed the deals with the entire planet in 13 days."And every one of those imaginary deals has to be approved by the Senate, or they are non-binding. Of course, Trump tore up the revised NAFTA he negotiated in his first term, and it was ratified by the Senate.
So why would any country make a deal with Trump? He could change his mind ten minutes later (whether he has the authority to tear up NAFTA is another matter. Personally I think he has committed so many impeachable offenses under the rubric of “abuse of power” it has to be measured by counts per day.).
