trump suggest lowering China tariffs to 80% before first meeting

Can you read? Biden gave trump an economy that was the best post pandemic economy in the world...and in less than 100 days, he has screwed it up.
Nobody believes that. Nobody. Not one single person with an above-room-temperature IQ believes that. Nobody.

This is another example of dimocraps trying to pass a counterfeit $30 bill.

The most recent data indicates a slight decline of 0.3% in real GDP for Q1 2025, primarily due to increased imports and decreased government spending .

Screwed what up? DJIA is only 1000 under what it was when Trump was elected. This reset is gearing up for a stock market explosion in the coming months.

President Donald Trump on Friday set negotiating terms for his administration’s first discussions with China, which are set to take place in Geneva this weekend.

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump appeared to lay out his demands — and concessions — for the meeting between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and their Chinese counterparts. Trump said China must import more US goods, and in return, he believes the United States should lower its 145% tariff on most Chinese goods to 80%.


“CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON’T WORK ANYMORE!!!,” Trump posted.

They have no even met in Switzerland yet and trump is caving. Amazing! He screwed the world economy up and then backs down when things begin getting rough. As always, trump is just a blustering coward. He bullies and speaks like he is strong, but we know he is insecure and afraid. He is demonstrating The Art of the Squeal.
He's being transparent about what he wants and what he is willing to do. I get an open and transparent President is foreign to the Demafascsit who are used to being left in the dark by their authoritarian regimes.

Democracy, dies in darkness.

Do do understand when Biden was paying people during and after COVID to stay home, sit on their ass and smoke pot, those payments increased GDP, don't you. That's why the figure is meaningless.

when did most people return to work after the initial COVID shutdowns?

ChatGPT said:​

Most people in the United States and many other countries began returning to work in mid to late 2020, after the initial COVID-19 shutdowns in March and April 2020. However, the timeline varied depending on industry, location, and the severity of local outbreaks. Here's a general breakdown:

  • Spring 2020 (March–May): Widespread shutdowns, with many offices and businesses closed or moved to remote work.
  • Summer 2020 (June–August): Gradual reopening began in many states and countries, with limited capacity and safety protocols. Some workers, especially in retail, manufacturing, and services, returned.
  • Fall 2020–Winter 2021: Reopenings continued, but surges in COVID cases led to periodic reclosures or delays in returning.
  • Mid to Late 2021: With vaccine rollouts, a larger number of office workers began returning—though many companies adopted hybrid or remote models.
  • 2022 onward: Return-to-office efforts picked up steam, especially in industries like finance and tech, though remote and hybrid work remained more common than pre-pandemic.
The return-to-work timeline depended heavily on region and job type.
 
Leftwingers have never understood how the great negotiators work. That's because Clinton, 0bama, and Biden always gave away the store. Trump's opening salvo to China was outrageous, intentionally so. Now he comes off as a magnanimous guy for bring it to 80%.

Meanwhile the Trump stock market has 10 winning sessions in the last 12, and well on the way to another today. Great job, Mr. President!

The great negotiator.

Trump Tariff Aid To Farmers Cost More Than U.S. Nuclear Forces
 
I can ax (blackspeak) you the same question. You people blame Trump for the drop, but you never mention the 10 of 12 winning sessions the past two weeks. Why is that?
That was Biden's stock market....like the orange idiot said.

So you are upset that he is caving and you want higher tariffs? Seems odd but left wing nuts will cry about anything.

Apr 30, 2025 — The Independent questions Trump on blaming recent stock market crash on Biden's past presidency. Your support helps us to tell the story.

President Donald Trump defended his attempt to cast blame on his predecessor, former president Joe Biden, after the Labor Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis found that the American economy shrank by 0.3 percent during the first quarter of this year, marking the first drop in three years as Trump’s tariff policies disrupted businesses and their supply chains.

Earlier in the day, Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to blame his predecessor for the dismal numbers, writing that what was transpiring was “Biden’s stock market, not Trump’s.”
 
When did any poster say they wanted higher tariffs?
Trump is ******* with you, and you seem to like it.
“It’s fascinating how confidently you dismiss nuance while proving you’re only skimming the surface. Try substance over snark next time.”
 
15th post
Trump's 145% tariffs are crushing China. They got the hint. Trump is extending an olive branch.

The truism that comes to mind is "don't bite the hand that feeds you".
No olive branches till china caves and not before
