I admit I was concerned at the beginning but Trump knows what he's doing. Don't be fooled by these kinds of headlines:

Trump Gives China Major Concession on Tariffs Before Talks Even Begin

LINK

quote:

“80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B.,” he posted just minutes later, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Eighty percent tariffs is still a humongous number for taxes on imports, but it is a significant decrease from Trump’s current 145 percent tariffs on the country.


It's obvious that these MSM types don't understand the art of the deal.

yep, any move (or no movement at all) will be spun.

Sad that in every case the American people lose when it comes to the reactions and reporting of such.

But nothing he does will be reported as positive. Even two years from now IF it works out, great, or super duper great, they will say it was because of Bidenomics.

You set a crazy number from the start to give yourself the ability to make some concessions. Negotiations 101.
