      *banh mi

      But yes, so very delicious. So fresh too.

      SUVs won’t work in Vietnam, not when you have Grab and scooters everywhere. It might become a rich person thing to drive around in those awful yank tanks but that’s hardly a market.

      This just sounds like the VN government is just making a nothing deal sound good for Trump. Americans paying tariffs for incoming VN products versus Vietnamese paying nothing for incoming American SUVs? A product that most Vietnamese won’t find useful at all?

      Ugh.

      I want some bread now…

        Oops, wrong spelling!

        But uh, yeah, I agree, Trump got played, SUVs will take off in Vietnam as well as McDonalds did.

        Trump is an actual idiot.

        Not like, ad hom insult idiot.

        He is just actually an idiot.

        He still doesn’t understand what a trade balance even is, or that services/digital goods we export aren’t part of that number.

        He’s a spoiled brat that’s gotten as far as he has by being an abusive narcissist who csn just buy his way out of everything with daddy’s money.

        Literally banh mis and other Vietnamese basically street food, pho, stuff like that, is why McDonalds didn’t take off.

        Vietnam has some truly tasty and cost effective cuisine, and McDonalds was largely only eaten by corpo types just as a flex of how much money they have.

        Its less nutritious, less tasty, and more expensive than what the Vietnamese have been eating for 100s, 1000s of years.
