How is any of this "business friendly"?

But, their silence is complicity, isn’t it?

It's not silence, you just aren't listening. Business is complaining more and more. Why do you think Trump is negotiating with himself to lower the China tariffs?

I don't even think he's playing chicken. That would imply he has some sort of grand strategy. He doesn't. Tariffs are simply the way he gets media cycles, while attempting to get business/foreign leaders to grovel. He's a "content President" who has otherwise run out of content, so we'll continue to suffer tariffs so that he gets attention. This isn't coming to an end.

No, he’s had a bee in his bonnet re tariffs his entire life. It’s not media attention, it’s dementia. He lost the Casablanca piano at auction to a Japanese buyer, and a month later he was crowing about tariffs.

It’s come from being aggrieved and wanting retaliation. Except, when you have dementia, you double down on your positions. My dad had it, and you fixate. He’s fixated on it, and these clowns around him are willing to burn down the economy for an old man’s demented whims. Why? Because men are weak.

They’re not going to let him save face. Just like he told the world that they negotiated a trade deal with Britain and nothing changed, still 10% tariffs across the board with a country we have a surplus with. China won’t accept similar lies.

Because Trump is unserious.
Because Trump is stealing and lying for his own personal benefit.

That MAGA thinks this is good for them or the country is the mystery.

This is unconfirmed. We should be careful of posting unless it’s from a reliable new source. Lots of misinformation out there.

Comrade, why didn't you post this in mandarin?

Because all the Chinese already know.

Also, Mandarin is capitalized, unless you think oranges are like fortune cookies?

Unfortunately the United States is going to get its lunch handed to it. Trump already started negotiating with himself yesterday to lower tariffs. Trump just wants another signing in the oval office. He’s such a loser. I can’t believe anyone voted for him.

I am not sure Trump can count that high.

Regardless zero ships have left China in the last day. ZERO.
