Love Readers,
Something over a day after US President Donald Trump announced that he wanted to piss dozens of countries with high punitive tariffs, his son Eric publicly gave tips on how best to negotiate with his father. A clear wink with the fence post to other nations.
This is quite cynical in view of the effects that the tariffs will probably have. Trump Junior’s post on “X” provides an interesting insight into the way of thinking of the family clan, for which everything seems to be a deal, no matter what it means for other people.
But there is still something in the post – a small charges by the youngest child.
I wish you a nice one weekend And say goodbye to the Morgenstern, which was created for her in the Taiwanese capital Taipei. From Monday my dear colleague Mirjam Bittner – from Seoul in South Korea.
Thank you for reading!

Eric Trump reveals: How to negotiate with Donald Trump
The Trump family apparently cannot wait for other countries to come to them to negotiate the penalty tariffs imposed. Eric Trump advised “X” to hurry up something if you want to sit down with Donald Trump: “I would not want to be the last country that Donald Trump wants to negotiate a deal. The first to negotiate will definitely lose.”
It sounds as casual as a well -intentioned advice. But the effects that the announcement of tariffs already has – among other things there was such a large crash on Wall Street as no longer since Corona – there can be no question of casualty. It suggests that Trump Senior with his tariffs is primarily about having a few aces in their sleeves.
i wouldn’t want to be the last country that tries to negotiate a trade with @Raldonaldtrump . The first to negotiate will win – The Last wants absolutely loose. I have lakes this movie my enttire life …

In the case of China, he even admits that openly. It is about the TikKOK app, which is prohibited in the USA and is to be sold to a US company. Trump is involved in the matter, who also has to agree to the Chinese government. Journalists said Trump: “We have a situation with Tikkok in which China will probably say: we will agree with a deal, but will they do something with the tariffs?” This is how the news agency “AFP” reports.
Customs that threaten the global economy as a negotiating mass when buying a video app-this is Donald Trump’s world.
His children also belong to this world. Eric is the youngest sprout from Trump’s first marriage to Ivana Trump (he has two younger half siblings). There are some reports that he suffered from the situation of being the youngest child of the siblings. He also indicates this in his post to “X”. After the sentence in which he explains that the last one would lose a negotiation with Trump, he writes: “I saw this film my whole life …” Because he was disadvantaged as the last child or because he observed many negotiations from his father? He leaves that open.
