What does Xi get out of the deal? Taiwan?

Or is it more likely that he's just playing the long game knowing Trump holds all the cards right now?

I tend to take the long game position. If Xi sees a President Gavin Newscum and VP AOC in January of 2029, he knows they'll basically gift wrap the USA for him.

Both things can be true at the same time.

John Barron... I mean Eric Daugherty... can and does post links to legitimately good news stores, but every one of his posts preface those stories with his hyperbolic sirens and attention-words in all caps.

Every.

Single.

One.

I haven't kept up with the Trump - Xinping meeting. I picked up bits and pieces from my wife.

But I did pick up, from her, the comment Xinping made in the opening remarks of his welcoming address - something about China is a 5000 year old civilization - you (USA) are only 250 years old. Ouch, in yo face America.

Ho Lee Fuk!

TRANSLATION: Xi Jinping said - move ova yanks, we're taking over.

Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

This. China just waits it out until Trump is out of office and cross their fingers Dems win in '28.

There is no "news" until details of official deals are made clear

Trump has said at least a dozen times that talks were going well with Iran only to be proven wrong every single time.

This daugherty guy is an absolute grifter extraordinaire. Every post of his is histrionic and exaggerated.

That's why many around this joint love him.

Pretty much every "BREAKING" story he posts can be traced directly back to other large media outlets — otherwise known as the "MSM" — but, I guess it makes people feel better to get the regurgitated "news" from him instead of said "MSM".

Trump holds the sole power to completely end negotiations and completely tank both China and the US. China would suffer far more dearly. Their economy is an even bigger paper tiger than ours.

He holds the cards. Art of the deal. I'm sorry you can't see that.

Don't be an IBFreeman. Both sides are playing the game, to try and keep the serfs from hanging them in the streets.

Interesting on soybeans because the soybean market is in freefall after no details or specifics on soybean purchasing has been released. Just more promises that “it’s coming”

Doesn’t bother me though just means cheaper feed prices

China considers the US an enemy and intends to overthrow our position in the world economy and we are still making deals with them.

We should be decoupling from that at every opportunity. Instead, we are looking at selling them our oil and doing further deals? Ugh.

lolol...
We'll see.
What kind of deal will be struck to enrich Don, Jr or Jared?
That's the more likely scenario...

Taiwan may be hung out to dry. The President hasn't seemed particularly concerned with the preservation of Western style democracy in many cases.

Venezuela is not a convincing example... .

He seems to have shifted from everything being BREAKING with the red light to "HOLY CRAP!" or "WOW!" at the beginning of every post. His analytics (since he's AI) have probably showed a 1% increase in engagement if he begins that way over BREAKING or some shite
