Trump's 'easy to win' deal-making failures are piling up: report

Donald Trump's oft-lauded reputation as a "dealmaker" is taking a major hit during his second stint in the Oval Office with losses piling up and promised completion of negotiations being kicked down the road.

According to a report from Dan Primack and Dave Lawler of Axios, Trump once boasted that trade wars were "good and easy to win," but since announcing his avalanche of tariffs, his victories have been few and far between including a new one with China where there is few details.

The problem, they note, is that as the president continues to flail it makes him look weak when it comes to future negotiations.

According to the report, the president set a "high bar" for himself with his bravado and has yet to come close to clearing it.

"He said he'd make peace in Ukraine on day one. That was more than 140 days ago. He said he'd make peace in Gaza. A ceasefire collapsed months ago, and talks are deadlocked," they wrote before pointing out, "He said that trade wars were 'good and easy to win.' So far, the U.S. doesn't have a single trade deal finalized and implemented. The closest ones are with the U.K., with which America has a trade surplus, and with China, which remains just a framework."

Add to that, his plan to resolve issues over TikTok still has yet to come to fruition.

Axios is reporting that Trump could still find a few wins, including his "big beautiful bill" but for now, "Momentum, however, is tough to find."
