Trump suggests he didn’t have time to buy Melania birthday gifts because he’s so ‘busy’ with tariff deals that don’t exist (The Independent)

President Donald Trump says he hasn’t had time to buy birthday gifts for First Lady Melania Trump, suggesting he’s been “pretty busy” with tariffs.

Yet the White House has yet to announce a single tariff deal.

“I’ll take her to dinner on the Boeing, I’ll take her for dinner on Air Force One,” Trump told reporters Friday. “I haven’t had much time to buy presents. I’ve been pretty busy. But it’s working out. People are starting to understand how good tariffs are … for us.”

Any "deals" he announces will be a "memorandum of understanding", "statement of intent", with no commitment Bernardo de La Paz Apr 26 #5

Sure. That’s only going to cost some chump $178,000 per hour in operating expenses.

Wild guess that if he EVER gave Melania a present, it was Ivanka who did the shopping.

with the 195 countries in the world. Really 194 cause he wouldn’t cut a deal with the US.

Would he?
