    Werewolf conMan backing down on latest threat to China. SAD, very SAD!!!




    The United States Trade Representative office said Tuesday that new tariffs on certain consumer items would be delayed until Dec. 15, while other products were being removed from the new China tariff list altogether. It cited health and security factors.

    The duties had been set to go into effect on Sept. 1, so the announcement eased concerns about the holiday shopping season.

    The USTR said the delay affects electronics including cellphones, laptops and video game consoles and some clothing products and shoes and “certain toys.”

    Earlier this month, President Donald Trump announced a new round of 10% tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports that eluded duties.
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Hey, it is all part of his "making a deal," just like he made a deal with Russia, Saudi Arabia and North Korea

    Truth be known, he doesn't know what he is doing, whatever the last TV "economist" said is what he is going with

    China’s Commerce Ministry says Vice Premier Liu He had spoken by phone with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lightizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and they agreed to talk again in two weeks.
    we'll see.
    December isn't that far away, and it looks like China i trying to ride it out hoping Trump does not get re-elected

    Biden certainly would 100% cave to China for ex.

    So now you WANT tariffs and are angry they wont be fully implemented? Yesterday you thought they were a terrible idea and was cheering for China. I wish you lying lefties could make up your minds.

    How is Trump a con man? Be specific. Obama was a con man and you loved him.

    Here is the definition because you obviously wouldn't know one if they slapped you on your dense head:

    con man
    n
    informal a person who swindles another by means of a confidence trick. More formal term: confidence man

    Truth be known he absolutely knows what he's doing which is why you are a loser on an internet blog and he is sitting in the White House.

    I am amused that the eight years Obama did nothing you cheered.

    You think that you have the slightest clue? Do you know you are NEVER right? About anything? You have ZERO self awareness.

    Economists think tariffs are a stupid idea. Almost none think it is good policy. Trump is gumping along . The financial conditions he had nothing to do with are saving him. But there are signs he can fuck it up.
    China is run by real economists and experts who are trying to grow their economy. They also think long term.

    Maybe they're having "a little chat" about HK? Maybe "a little this-for-that" and keeping troops away from the border?
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
