He fucked around and now he is finding out.
China called his bluff on the tariffs, Americans need cheap plastic crap from target more than china needs anything we have.
Trump is desperate to quickly make this appear as a win so he can pull back the crazy tariffs but Xi is mocking him.
Geopolitical news headlines reading like crazy-ex stories. What a time we live in.
I wonder if this will get to the point where trump claims china signed a deal and america won the trade war, but cargo ships still aren't coming
China has unilaterally cut off our treats, this is an act of aggression and an assault on our sovereignty so we have no choice but to go to war.
that would be hilarious
What's even the point of this? Blatantly lying about stuff like that is just going to destroy any credibility he could have left
credibility he could have left
LoL
Market manipulation is the point. Every time he makes a statement the market reacts which allows people who are in on it to make money hand over fist.
Also Trump's voterbase will believe anything he says over anything Xi says
Although, I doubt he even cares what they think. His constituents are the financial capitalists whose interests he represents.
Going along with Trump's most recent lies is how you show you are loyal/part of the cult. The lies also flush out people who are impelled to correct the historical record, marking them as enemies.
There's no credibility to lose at this point. He has been lying for his entire life, no way he's stopping now.
Trump blatantly lied all the time as part of his career in real estate. Why would we expect anything different now?
