I repeat - At the ballfields late yesterday: the trumpies went nuts congratulating themselves
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.
It’s almost like he has declared victory and we went back to the status quo ante

30% tarriff on China. It basically went back to the Liberation Day's 34%, not to status quo ante.
But I won't declare a victory since there is no permanent deal or framework of the deal yet.
Both countries dropped tariffs to 10% for the 90 day pause...which is reciprocal tariffs
Which is what trump promised.
That is a big win from where it used to stand with China gouging our products with tariffs.
***Making it permanent is still an issue for sure***. But it was a big buckle by China, and they would not make such a move unless they were forced to do so...esp after how much money they pumped into their economy to hide the damage.

China called Trump’s bluff
And you’re celebrating it, like I knew you would.

It’s hilarious watching MAGA try to come up with a lie to refute this
They’ll never admit they voted for a clown
The ridiculousness of this Atlantic opinion piece is breathtaking. So Trump folded-cuz we were
hurting too much?!!!
And China didn’t fold.
Your ignorance is showing.
In fact they did not. They reciprocated a reduction in tariffs. They caved.

I said that is what the cult was going to believe. Thank you for proving my point.

I'm not in a cult. That is a childish accusation and a provable lie. Your point is not proven.

That’s exactly what a cult member would say
All signs point to yes you are in a cult and you were wrong as usual.
Trump promised mass tariffs. Here is timeline:
The only one who was broken by Trump's tariff games is Trump.
Chris94 is spot on.
But, I do credit Trump for recognizing his foolhardiness and reversing course.

I can’t give him credit for that. How many 401K’s did he ruin by this?
How many families lost savings through these 4 months? How many insiders made hay yesterday knowing this was to happen?
Drama much?
I’m retired, and we’re only down 1.5% YTD mostly because of withdrawals. What’s this problem you speak of? Do tell?
Then you believe you represent all those who have retirement funds
or just savings as investments therefore no complaints?
There are no small businesses or businesses that survive on the margins out there who depend on stability in their investments they all live as you do.
Talk about drama. You’re that guy who stops and stands at the end of a busy escalator to look at his cell phone.
What kind of gibberish is this?
Small businesses did not collapse. Personal investments did not collapse.
The lame escalator comment relates to nothing.
Is this the part where you squawk that I am an idiot?
Ruin? None. Reasonable financial advisers told clients to hold fast. Most did.

You stand with China unsurprisingly.
Reciprocal tariffs are the goal.

You need to stop hanging around the tee ball fields. The parents are grumbling.

Your necessity to always imbue molestation into threads is a concern.
Think on that awhile.
