Just in: Donald Trump mocks world leaders, saying ‘world Leaders are kissing my a**’ in shocking video
US President Donald Trump boasted on Tuesday night that world leaders, alarmed by his aggressive tariffs, are “kissing my a**” in a desperate attempt to negotiate lower levies.
Speaking at a National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) dinner, Trump boldly declared that nations are “dying to make a deal” with the U.S., even as he criticized Republicans who have opposed his tariff initiatives.
During his speech, Trump confidently stated that numerous countries are reaching out to him, saying they are “kissing my a**… dying to make a deal” after he launched a tariff war that’s shaken up global trade. Although he didn’t specify any countries, Trump claimed these leaders are calling him, begging to strike deals: “please please sir let me make a deal, I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything sir.”

Trump also took aim at Republican dissenters: “I’ll see some rebel Republican, some guy that wants to grandstand, say: ‘I think that Congress should take over negotiations.’” He made it clear: “Let me tell you: You don’t negotiate like I negotiate.”
His remarks come as the economy grapples with significant market losses and growing recession fears, partially attributed to his tariff policies. China is among the hardest hit, facing a massive 104% tariff on all imports starting Wednesday, following its vow to “fight to the end” in this trade conflict.
Trump revealed details of his ongoing diplomatic outreach, including a “very productive call” with To Lam, General Secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party. He claimed Lam said Vietnam would reduce their tariffs to zero if an agreement could be reached with the U.S. Additionally, Trump mentioned conversations with South Korea’s acting president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, the White House has not released call records or any details regarding the “a** kissing” Trump referenced.
At the fundraising event, Trump also announced plans to impose significant tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry. He argued that U.S. companies don’t manufacture enough drugs domestically and are being charged exorbitant prices for imported drugs. “The same packet in the US is price, sometime is price 10-times more,” he said. “We are going to tariff pharma in such a way that cos will come rushing to us very soon. The advantage we have is, we are very big market.”
Trump added that these tariffs would encourage pharmaceutical companies to relocate their operations to the U.S., as most of their products are sold in the American market.
Trump didn’t hold back in his critique of U.S. lawmakers pushing for more legislative control over tariffs. “Congress sucks at negotiation,” he said, boasting, “I know what the hell I’m doing. I know what I’m doing, and you know what I’m doing, too. That’s why you vote for me.”
His confidence didn’t sit well with all supporters. One commenter on X shared, “That’s no way to talk about other countries. All his negotiating tactics could be turned against him, and the American people would end up paying for all his arrogance.”
Last week, Trump defended his “reciprocal” tariffs announced earlier in April, claiming they would benefit the U.S. economy in the long run. He also mentioned that several countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Italy, are eager to strike new trade deals to avoid paying the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs.
