Yikes. The fact that Trump is rolling over so easily makes me think something bad is coming. All of those truckers not hauling freight and all of those ports not docking freighters is going to start showing up pretty quickly. Looks like someone has shown him that blaming Biden for everything ain't working anymore. All of those empty shelves this summer are going to bite him in the ass bigly. His approval numbers are already tanking, and they ain't seen nothing yet if there are widespread shortages.

Exciting to hear the US and China struck a deal so quickly. All about making sure the relationship between the two countries is mutually beneficial and not one-sided. Exactly what the country voted for.

LOL. You've been had, again. There is no deal. There is a "deal" -- i.e. they are agreeing to set up a framework for discussions. That is not remotely the same.

I've predicted correctly that every one of Trump's "deals" were empty, and that continues to be true today (note: the "minerals" deal is a joke, and the US-UK treaty is still very much in the theory phase). I am extremely confident that whatever will be announced on Monday will be fake.

Xi believes that China will win a trade war. Trump believes the US will win the trade war. Xi is correct. So they are going to wait Trump out. Now, Trump will probably withdraw his tariffs like he's done with everything else, because he's ultimately a cowardly wuss with no spine, but that's not a victory. That's Trump destroyed the economy for no reason.

Yeah, I went to the store yesterday and noticed empty shelves carrying two of my shopping needs.

Fortunately for me my granddaughter is 14yo and no longer has an interest in Barbie dolls or I would be at a loss come Christmas .

Have my fingers crossed that the shelves in my local ABC store don't go empty 🥺

You should do okay if you're a bourbon drinker.

As President, first term or second term, what would Trump's list of successful deals look like?

well, there was that one with Europe where the EU agreed to buy LNG but the EU isn't involved in LNG purchases at all.

There was that one with Mexico where he managed to shrink the commitment of Mexican soldiers at the border because he didn't know they had some there already.

There was that Nafta 2.0 that he negotiated . . . and then violated.

Did Trump’s NAFTA differ from the preceding NAFTA?

China-US deal announced. I’m sure it’ll be a bunch of nonsense that basically goes back to status quo.

I just posted today that he would fold like a cheap suit once the store shelves started to empty out, looks like we didn't even have to wait that long. And only MAGAs will be dumb, gullible, and blindly loyal enough to believe that we actually got anything useful out of whatever "deal" he claims we got. His trade wars have been a disaster and will continue to be so.

Every word coming out of DC right now feels like part of a massive long-game market manipulation ploy. Somebody’s getting filthy rich from all this.

POTUS was just gifted a 747 from the Quatari Royal Family that will go to Trump's Presidential LIbrary for his personal use after he leaves office. With that kind of brazen shit happening, you are undoubtedly grossly underestimating the level of shadiness happening.

Provided there is a free election for a new President, I look forward to the government clawing back all the corruption gains made by the Trump crime family. If nothing else, bleed them dry by keeping them in court till MAGA World freezes over.

Yea, maybe we'll get the .6% drop in export tariffs like with the UK.

or we'll probably get a lot of economist trying to figure out what we actually got, like with the UK.

That shit fox news serves must be highly addictive, you guys sure do lap it up.

Doesn't matter, you see that conservatives have rejoined us to flaunt the praises of China fucking trump at our expense. All trump has to do is his normal lies, you know like $1.99 a gallon gas, etc., and the cult will need praising him like he's Jesus Christ.

He hasn't posted in several weeks, as far as I can tell he's never posted on this thread. Now he wants to drop by and pretend Lord Orangetrump has saved the world...

Speaking of uninformed voters, where's silence to tell how great the new deal is?

I'm sure China is going to simply pay us to take their products now.
