The only thing China had to do this entire time was wait until the deranged criminal eventually caved on his own trade war tariffs and he proved them right. Great businessman my ass.

Ah, but he is a great 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧
Look! Qatar gave him a BOEING 747!
America is going down the toilet, but his personal wealth is increasing exponentially.
Say what you want about China, but they do have centuries, even millennia, of valuable pragmatic wisdom that they respect and actually rely on. That often works.
But his plan worked. The market dropped dramatically and no doubt he and his billionaire friends buy stocks on the cheap and will make huge profits as the market rises again!
What of all those poor pundits who insisted Trump was playing 5th dimension chess, rebalancing trade, lowering the value of the dollar and reducing trade deficits with his tariffs?
Trump only sees from a transactional win/lose context.
You can always see when he's desperate for a way out of what he creates. In this case, he's got empty ports and ruined small businesses coming up, and he needs to point at something positive.
We have so many ignorant, stupid, racist, sexist folks here in America. Where do they get power? The Constitution is structured to give GREATER power to this group of people. We a govt. of, by and for the large but still minority group of folks who are ignorant, stupid, racist and sexist.
I'm not convinced China hasn't been actively cooperating with Trump and co in their mission to make billions from market manipulation in the first place, they have openly bribed him before and he and his family have personal, very valuable, business interests with their state bank.
He was never going to win over an Authoritarian government whose people are used to suffering at its expense not to mention media pressure they wouldn’t have like the US
He's going to buy the jet for $500 million and spend another $1 billion, all taxpayer dollars, to get it to comply with DoD and USSS requirements. That's after we've spent $4 billion for two new AF1's being built by Boeing. Right?
But nobody "wins" here. It's like a store raising prices 145% higher, then later lowering it to "only" 30% higher. Customers are still paying 30% higher costs than normal. How does anyone consider this a win?

Don’t forget. Chump and his cronies keep telling us there’s a $1.2 TRILLION deficit, when if fact, it’s more like $300 BILLION. So he was inflating the deficit by a factor of 4, and “coincidentally”, he’s backed downby almost the same factor to bring us to a 30% tariff. Economics by Improvisation!
He’s making it up as he goes along. Someone should ask him what the purpose of the tariffs really is because he’s given at least 3 distinctly different reasons:
1- Bring back mfg.,
2- eliminate income tax and
3- reduce trade deficits.
Lowering or eliminating tariffs negates reasons 1 & 2.
According to Trump China was losing a lot of businesses. He made it sound like they begged him to drop tariffs. Like to know which one of the writers of Project 25 told him raising tariffs were great
47 Orange Motto: Create a problem, and then solve it. The people are so grateful they honor me as I lie to them and make tons of money while the people pay for it. Idiots
I've had that exact thought; and I'll bet you that DT will cave even further--give it a few weeks and our "tariff" will quietly go down to [probably] what it used to be.
It’s so predictable. China isn’t especially clever. It’s just that Trump is especially fucking dimwitted. Make a problem, fix it, scream for adoration and praise from the idiots who worship you.
I have this horrible feeling that these 90 day pauses are just going to keep repeating, until the markets become used to it...and then one time, maybe next year, the 90 days will come due, and he'll be like ACTUALLY, NO EXTENSION THIS TIME! 500 PERCENT TARIFFS GO INTO EFFECT!
It’s the same thing if i would argue with my visa account. I use my visa to purchase and then tell visa i am not paying till i get a discount. So visa will wait till i pay my bill!
Trump put .25 on 99c store prices last time. My city had 99c stores. Now he's adding another .35 on top? Settle down Trump. I still pay fed tax on that. Trump's plus is my minus. For sure, golden plane Trump and apartheid elon pay no fed tax at all.
Not only that, China built business relationships with other countries, such as buying agricultural products from South America countries, made deals with Europe on EVs, and restricted some business with US companies.
It is a diversion for the greater grift to occur in plain sight. The treasury is being looted as we post. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
And dumb Americans, with the constant dereliction of duty from the GOP and msm, touting his “skill” as a negotiator, BELIEVE it. I just heard people in a rural OH restaurant sing his business praises. 🤮🤮🤮
U know. He was the one waiting 4 Xi to call. Xi went to see the Asian leaders. Yeah some deal maker. Boot lickers like Jesse, are just as deranged as he. The Chinese are laughing at us.
China is playing him. They will let this 30% tariff continue till US small businesses and non-rich people start feeling the pinch real bad. Then they will ask for even more reduction. They will end up with the same deal they had before Liberation Day or a better one.
He was stupid to begin with -- very clever, in some ways, but basically dumber than a box of rocks. Remember what his first Cabinet had to say about him?
And now the old fool has dementia.
People with dementia do not get better -- they only get worse.
The whole rationale for the tariff war has disappeared. I was fully expecting that China would take over paying my income taxes and that my children would be making 1st world livings doing 3rd world labor.

Want to know whether Donald Trump or Xi Jinping will win the trade war? China just signed the world’s largest free-trade agreement with Japan and 14 other Southeast Asian Nations. These 16 nations hold $ Trillions in USA Treasury Bonds. How much of their long-term debt is the USA holding? None.
I'm a working musician, back 20-25 years ago Atlantic City was jumpin', lots of people, lots of money. We worked the casinos, the only one that failed was Trump's. At a time when the rest were minting money, he managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
VonShitzNpants is a stumbling, bumbling, self entitled and conceited imbecile who was NEVER a competent businessman. He was just another spoiled rotten, born rich AND privileged little troll who was given EVERYTHING. He's failed at every business he's ever owned. EVERYTHING else is a lie 😔
Create a situation. Give up when it doesn't work and remove the situation. Declare victory. Actually believe no one's the wiser. And on to the next one.
Wharton University should revoke T-RA's degree in business management. It reflects badly on them. This is not a negotiating strategy taught by anyone.
It's obvious who wasn't in class the day negotiation strategies was discussed.
Remember - They cancelled Planes and Pork in huge numbers. Did they reinstate those orders? Not that I read. The damage is bigger than just that anus extractis tariff amount.
That is something I floated during tax season. I think that there were a few who didn't file this year but there isn't a whole lot we can do about sales tax.
There is a movement organizing for this, the @nationaltaxstrike.bsky.social - and we can start tax striking at any time. They're hosting an info session on May 28! Register to join the discussion and learn about your options.
Trump repeatedly claimed the Chinese were desperately trying to negotiate a deal. The Chinese have categorically stated that no such requests were being made. Before the meeting in Switzerland China stated the US requested it./1
Trump tried to downplay the importance of who was the requester versus the requested.
"We can all play games — who made the first call, who didn't make them. Doesn't matter," Trump said.

Theater. It's the Trump show starring Dictator Don formerly the star of the apprentice. We know who is writing the script and is directing the show. It's the billionaire authors of Project 2025. It's a drama-comedy with an unhappy ending for middle and lower income and disabled Americans.
I wonder if Trump's intention here is to manipulate the stock/crypto markets for the benefit of Trump and his family/cronies. We really need a team of forensic accountants to go over his books and that of his family to determine if that is what he's doing.

10% tariffs on US imports to China are HUGE tariffs
Celebrating this trump BS is moving The Overton Window.
Don't fooled
All of trumps wealthy cronies just got richer off of YOUR retirement funds.

Three months ago 30% would have been outrageous. But today you are happy because trump "failed"?
I think you've been properly bamboozled.
This has all been about letting his billionaire buds buy in to the stock market low when he says the tariffs are on.
He’s a president for billionaires, and that is all.
And BOOM, mega-crash.
And now the old fool has dementia.
