What possible motivation does China have to make deal? He cannot be trusted. He’s blowing up agreements *he* negotiated previously. None of these countries should blink. None of them should come to the table. Let him squirm. Expose this fraudster for who & what he is. As a favor to the world.

Ahahahaha, nobody could have predicted this.

They sound that way to me too. He caved.

Obviously he's holding so many cards he can afford to give them away before the game even starts.

Ooh. Big spooky man says China needs to call to make a deal.
Xi pours another green tea, reflects on 4,000 years of history and patience and says: can't call; I'm busy, washing my hair.

They have the upper hand and they know it. Trump is a moron.

Give it five minutes and someone (like Peter Navarro) will tell him he will look weak -- and he will change his mind.

I'm getting a paywall.

Oh?! Isn't he the master of the art of the deal?! Ha! The American dollar and economy are breaking with each passing day and he blames greedy selfish American women and DEI men instead of the white men in power ruining the world like Putin and himself. 🙄

Tariffs on China was never intended to stay as high as it went. It was a shot across the bow of what could be if they weren't willing to have meaningful talks about fair trade practices...but obviously few on the left know anything about the art of the deal...or would rather ignore it.

sonsrules.bsky.social•1 day ago

There is no art of the deal. Trump is folding because as always he got outplayed.

mollymcgee-123.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why not wait and see instead of folding over under the weight of the fear porn?

sonsrules.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump is the one as he says Panican as he has no plan and is just throwing in the towel.

mollymcgee-123.bsky.social•1 day ago

You're boring, and I ran out of patience.
Good Bye

Thank you for sharing.

And it will motivate the rest of the players to hold fast, especially if they see China as a viable trade alternative.
In the end, I think we'll see a return to the status quo with some semantic changes at the edges to soother Trump's ego.

like an empty suit

It was not a sign, it was a fold.
