China Called Trump’s Bluff

The art of the capitulation.

Announce a huge deal, wait 24 hours, then release the details of the “deal”.

The deal, is to suspend the punitive tariffs you imposed a month ago. The ones that were roundly ridiculed and caused a huge crash in the market.

He's like a psychotic arsonist volunteer fireman who sets houses on fire, just happens to be nearby, and rushes in to rescue the residents and is called a "hero." More like a zero. lol

He destroyed Obama's Iran deal, so they took leaps forward in their nuclear program.

Now he's 'negotiating' with them, and will claim credit for any reduction in Iran's nuclear program.

He's the firefighter who starts a fire and is the first on the scene to bask in the glory of being a hero.

I don't know if POTUS can achieve this via EO? In the past, it was Sinema who blocked every attempt by Dems. to lower drug prices.

Of course. Because if they're forced to charge us/our health insurers what they charge in other countries, they'll quit making new drugs and doing research, right? Isn't that the excuse we've been hearing all along?

His first reign of terror taught world leaders that he's just a petulant child.

Back then they knew that if they stroked his ego they could get what they wanted. Now they're taking a different approach. Those in a position of power now employ standard anti bullying measures. They simply remind him that there is a very delicate economic balance in the world, due in large part to our gluttonous borrowing practices.

trump never understood this concept, because daddy always bailed him out of his incompetent business ventures. After that, trump simply defaulted on his obligations.

trump has tunnel vision. He cannot see anything but his own reflection.

I honestly believe this is all a massive scam to line the pockets of his billionaire donors. The market swings earn them billions.

Maybe Trump can secure deals on hotels and action hero trading cards.

But this is way out of his league.

He only 'secures' deals now because he's selling access to policy. Foreign and domestic. He dumped the lease on trump Hotel DC the moment he got kicked out of the White House. Now he wants it back. Foreign leaders dumped countless millions into his pockets via that building.

People don't realize that the overwhelming majority of trump hotels were not owned by him. He sold them the name, and management. In his first administration, countless trump buildings removed the name.

China Called Trump’s Bluff​

There is a lesson here for anyone Trump threatens

When President Donald Trump launched his trade war on the world, he issued a stern warning: “Do not retaliate and you will be rewarded.”

China ignored the warning. It was rewarded anyway.

This morning, Trump largely suspended his trade war in return for nothing but promises of ongoing discussions. There is a lesson here for everybody Trump threatens, whether countries or businesses or universities.

Trump always thinks he's the smartest man in the room but keeps being played by other national leaders with a little flattery and the offer of money.

You're right, Trump uses the government to enrich himself, that doesn't take great business savvy. That just takes corruption.

Not a business guy, but the yo-yoing of Trump's tariff war isn't good for planning. While a 90 day reprieve is better than nothing, the entire war should never have been started in the first place.

Putin made a mistake invading Ukraine and now finds himself in a quagmire where he can't retreat due to the massive loss of Russian soldier's lives*. Now Trump is in the same position except instead of lives, it's about the loss of wealth.

*a logic used by the US in both Vietnam and Iraq: "If we leave then all of those lives lost will have been in vain".

...and the vast majority of the Republican Party is complicit.

The RNC used to support personal accountability, national security and a free market. Now they are the complete opposite in all three of those values. Sad.

It's too funny to watch you idiots literally get everything ass backwards. When we end up with better deals than we've ever had for America from every country we trade with, you will still claim we somehow lost. LOL Trump is winning everyday and it's killing you, Warning! It's not going to get any easier for you. Trump will just keep winning and you losers will keep doing what losers do, lose.
