Trump being nice to China?

Trump has never been nice to anyone except for Putin!

Trump also said that putting a145% tariff on China was to high and no one should pay that! Ummm! Words of his own idiocies!

He also mentioned that he had no intention to fire Powell!

Lordy, there are tapes! He is feeling the pressure of the his agenda failing! He has caused a world wide financial disaster and when big merchants companies complain about what is at stake? We are not going to recover from this disaster for a long time!

Trump has caused this mess and now he’s trying to put the paste back in tube which will cause things to get worse rather than better!

They can only do it for short periods of time.
Then they will blow up and blow up big.

...still and just saying FU is a major embarrassment to Trump and shows his blustering is just a sign of weakness and lack of a solid plan. We can only hope more countries, the Havards and others call his bluff and further distract, slow and weaken him. Unfortunately, in the meantime, the US gets a big black eye, our national brand is in tatters and our goods and services will be increasingly shunned just because of him. He has and actively is making us poorer and weaker in every aspect that matters, at least internationally.

all the while he and Ivanka do business there, so does Musk.

China is friendly with Russia so how long can Krasnov be mean to them? Kabuki Theater.

Rates will continue to rise.

Right now, China is far more likely to sell bonds they own rather than buy more.
