as DJT came out a winner as the market made a Uey. They exclaimed, “China caved, US won. Trump is a genius - I told you Brah!” - High-fives everywhere coupled with muscle flexing and big shit-eating grins. So much congratulatory swearing.
I guess saving face is the next step in the trump style winning. Businesses have now been given the freedom to price-gouge as prices on goods from China will remain higher should all trade actually go back to pre-tariff norms.
The great negotiator is welcome in China.
