That all speculative bullshit.
The details will be announced today; let's see what they actually are before spinning nonsense.
Look, I have supported Trump and will continue to support America succeeding.
I've dealt with bullies my entire life. None bigger than the Creepy Ones who enjoy their power and exercizing it, trust me when I speak about how to deal with unaccountable violators.
As such, I have an innate understanding of how the Communists operate, from a comparative experience under the thumb of abusive, unaccountable, power driven government apparatuses in Canada, akin to what the CCP represent on the global stage.
The bottom line: Trump and his team should not have capitulated this quickly. I imagine the rare earth minerals probably forced the squeeze on the U.S but I don't know. I would hope not, but the MSS and Russia have many intelligence sources in the U.S, they would know which "hot buttons" to press.
This step down allows the CCP to re-calibrate and even when a "deal" is struck, China will reneg on whatever they agree to here as well, it's almost a certainty, which is why Reagan and others before him didn't trust communists. This isn't a new revelation. Central governments bully their citizens and feel the freedom to bully other nations as well.
All America had to do was hold out for 6 months, a year maximum. They didn't even last 2 months.
I hope whoever the next president is, be it JD, Rubio or whomever, the enter the W.H with a clear and direct objective. Decoupling to a certain degree is necessary. The West doesn't need to fully withdraw but you need to force political change in China. They are NOT going to change simply because of entering the WTO, they laugh at that. They are laughing today as well.
Trump survived a bullet thanks to the hand of G-d. He can't back down. On this issue, he is going to need to change the narrative really quickly because I can just imagine on CNN and other networks how they are going to spin this. In truth, they won't be wrong.
