I was referring to calling me a hypocrite because the drop on tariffs were only on some semiconductors.
I asked if you were being a hypocrite. And since you're reacting to that statement so angrily, then you must know you are being one.

had already granted aviation an exemption before the semiconductor one
Still a big difference to implying all 125% tariffs on everything has been exempted. IOW, still fake news.

He never stated that EVERYTHING has been exempted. Try reading the OP again. You assumed he meant everything without reading the article because it was a "wall of text"

It’s a step, regardless.

China still holds the cards in the exchange but it’s a good sign.

I read the article. Twice

They dropped tariffs to zero. And didmt have the balls to even announce it. They had already dropped tariffs on aviation. Still havent announced that one. And they are actively looking for other areas that they can drop tariffs on, without announcing it. So they can save face

Thats not only caving. Thats chickenshit caving

But keep rooting for those devious bastards to undermine the USA

Yeah, I mean, that is so much worse than assigning a name to the day you announce worldwide tariffs only to pause them for 90 days a few days later when the bond market puked on itself.

Some are so weirdly obsessed with who “bends the knee” that you fail see that we have, in fact, bent the knee on several occasions since Trump went tariff stupid. But it’s called “art of the deal”.

The reality is that NO ONE wins a trade war. There are only degrees of pain. So who gives a frock if Trump, Xi, or the leader of Sri Lanka bends the knee first. Just get it over with so we can all get back to a normal economy.

The only one dropping tariffs so far is China




We carved out a ton of exclusions and it looks like China did the same.

Why do some of you have to spin every single thing with tariffs as a who blinked first political bonanza? We announced across the board tariffs then rolled them back to 10% with everyone but China. Then we rolled them back on individual items too.

It doesn’t matter if we did it first or if they did it first, at least not on the Money Talk. If you want to fling shite for political purposes bring it to the appropriate board. Your OP was shite and your explanation of it since then has been even worse.

When Trump announced we had 200 trade deals Friday
it reminded me he has no attachment to truth or reality
