Bootlicker Marcos is in Washington, DC to give Trump whatever he wants
President Marcos has been summoned to Washington, D.C. to “negotiate” after Trump threatened the Philippines with 20 percent tariffs on exports. Like the sycophant and doormat he is, BBM will likely make concessions to the satisfaction of the Trump government’s interests. We are bracing ourselves for the aftermath of this visit, from which only BBM’s US handlers and the highest income bracket will benefit. Trump’s tariffs, while inane, have caused panic internationally. Instead of criticizing the tariffs, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Arsenio Balisacan brushed them off by illogically saying it could lead to an improvement in the GDP. Other short-sighted bureaucrats celebrated the fact that the rate is a little lower than other countries in the region. In other words, ours is a government that is scared to stand up for the Philippines.
