Exactly what leverage does this clown regime have over China? Expect nothing but a covering series of lies and a heavy smoke screen of bullshit. 🤡

They fundamentally don't understand what they're negotiating so there's not going to be much if a negotiation to be had. It's going to be bowling ball test stories where the Chinese delegation shrugs and walks out.

Somehow, MAGA overestimates Trump and his team
Of imbeciles, every. Single. Time.

Looking for zero results and a big dump.

Trump is micromanaging everything, it will 100% be a disaster.

It makes sense that the expectation is a repeat of 2019. Donald gets nothing from China (maybe vague talk of buying more stuff which won't end up happening) then says he won. The people who actually believe in this stuff won't say anything critical of Donald. Nothing changes.

We'll have to see.

Yes u do put them on a plane, perception is everything with these people, performative means so much more than substance.

Deliver what? All Trump has to do is remove the tarrifs. He won't so we are hearing for the iceberg

Xi is not a newcomer to authoritarianism. He won’t be manipulated by a couple of Trump’s flunkies.

...NOTHING will come of it.

NOTHING.

The top clown - Trump - will undermine anything they say or do.

When you are desperate to show the markets you are doing something or anything, you do. They are even trying to pitch the US reducing China tariffs to 50% as a win.
