And what we and them going to do about this? Nothing.

At least we didn’t have to give him a private jet.

It’s not exclusive to Switzerland- we see a ton of this from CEOs and other country leaders. They all equally make our blood boil when we see blatant corruption. That said, a lot of people also understand that they are literally just giving a lollipop to a child to stop him from being fussy.

Yes but we won. Our exports are much more valuable than one rolex shitter. If we respected him we would have at least paid for a Patek or Richard Mille.

This is true. Every aspect of our life is Pay to Play, or subscription based. “You’ll own nothing and be happy” Here we are.
What happened to his steer? Why is this a left side drive car? Australia?

And that’s coming from a UK guy.

I mean, if it’s the only way to be treated “normally” I don’t see a problem. The problem is trump accepting such gifts, not the foreign leaders giving them to him.
The whole world understood the trick and behaves accordingly

This is how Catholic church worked. Works. This is how Protestants came to be. (To collect their own..)

It’s not just money but exclusive gifts that bought the orange blob.

He‘s basically right. Trump is corrupt af.

Correction : it’s how one dude sees our gifts to Trump. Most Americans are too dumb to care.

I don’t think Americans are necessarily upset at Switzerland, it’s just playing the game. They are just upset that this is the game being chosen

Swiss here. You’re right, it’s disgusting. But tell me, if you were Switzerland how would you try to get better conditions with that lunatic?
The problem didn’t start with us or all the other countries your horrible president punished with uncalled for tariffs, but with him! He hurts every nation, he damages America tremendously. The only one profiteering is him!🤔🇨🇭

Don’t forget his insider trading, that’s why he makes 180° turns all the time.

Did no one see the conditions along with the tariff reductions? They are terrible. Among them, we are now forced to facilitate their GMOs meat fed with antibiotics into our shops and to those who do not pay enough attention, probably on their plate.

The swiss are screwing us over….
I can only say thst he sounded as dumb as Donald Trump. The trade deficit between US and Switzerland is nothing. It’s peanuts for the US. The Swiss buy their F35’s. Seems they even forget that.

We also promise massive investment in the U.S…. That is de principal gift
Darkwaxer on
Don’t politicians have to declare gifts or is that just the minimum wage workers?

Why does everyone in this thread assume Trump lowered the tariffs because of some gifts? He hasn’t lowered them yet. He demands much, much more from Switzerland before the 15% are on the table.

Swiss companies are experts in benefiting from corruption abroad. We make a ton of money from it. Last year [a study showed](https://www.watson.ch/fr/suisse/entreprise/398126521-la-suisse-gagne-des-centaines-de-millions-grace-a-la-corruption) that one third of Swiss companies pay bribes abroad to get contracts. This knowledge came handy to deal with Trump I guess. [Here is one recent exemple](https://www.lfm.ch/actualite/suisse/romandie/vaud/lausanne/lentreprise-vaudoise-sicpa-condamnee-pour-corruption/) from a Lausanne based company, SICPA.
