Jason Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 4 minutes ago, Chairslinger said: This is what stood out to me. Trump ordered businesses out of China like a straight up dictator, and lest his defenders try to shrug it off as hyperbole or just something Trump said for the hell of it Trump immediately went on to insist he absolutely has the power to order everyone out of China and anyone even doubting that is "fake news". It was like how the Greenland thing went from farce to quite serious, only in an even more conpressed timeline. CNN: Why did the president take a shit on the Resolute desk? Republicans: The president would never take a shit on the Resolute desk. Trump: I HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO TAKE A SHIT ON THE RESOLUTE DESK!!!

Jason Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Quote For years, a story circulated in Washington about Donald Trump’s attempt to nab a job leading nuclear negotiations with the Soviet Union in the nineteen-eighties ... Trump then said, “Let me tell you what I would have done if I’d been appointed.” He explained that he would have welcomed—very warmly—the Soviet delegation. He would have made sure the country’s envoys were comfortable—very comfortable—at the table. Then, Trump told Burt, he would have stood up, shouted “Fuck you!,” and left the room. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.) https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/for-trump-diplomacy-is-quite-literally-a-four-letter-word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I watched this report on CNN yesterday and they talked to some farmers who are being directly affected by this... all three voted for Trump and all three said that the business they've lost from China is probably gone for good because China has already found other suppliers. Very stable genius indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 31 minutes ago, Jason said: Ummm... there is no deal yet. Nothing has been finalized. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-claims-trade-win-china-but-deal-still-far-off-2019-10 Quote The agreement reached Friday marks a significant step toward ending the dispute, though both sides acknowledged a long road ahead to ending the tariff war that has been roiling global markets since March of 2018. A written pact has yet to be signed and is still weeks away, and the deal could still fall through in the meantime. Trump told reporters he didn't believe that would happen. And no offense @Jason but I don't follow Trump on Twitter for a reason. No need to reply to my posts with his Tweets.

PaladinSolo Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/14/stock-market-wall-street-in-focus-after-partial-us-china-trade-deal.html The report, which cites people familiar with the matter, said Chinese Vice Premier Liu He may lead a delegation as soon as month’s end to iron out the details of “phase one” before President Xi Jinping agrees to it. China wants Trump to also scrap a planned tariff hike in December in addition to the hike scheduled for this week, the report added. On Friday, President Trump announced that the first phase of a deal with China had been agreed, though officials on both sides said much more work needed to be done. The partial deal — which covers agriculture, currency and some aspects of intellectual property protections — represents the first step forward to end the trade war in 15 months. However, the deal does not include many details and Trump has warned it could take up to five weeks to get a pact written. Indeed, analysts are saying it appears to be more of a “temporary truce” than a real trade pact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
