[yidnar]

many on the left have accused Trump of blinking or backing down when he gave a 90 day pause on tariffs to countries that have expressed the desire to come to the negotiating table .. but they fail to see the brilliance in Trumps move ! Trump began negotiations with a stick and then offered a carrot to the countries that expressed a willingness to negotiate .. however in the same week he slapped huge tariffs on China for their expression of defiance ! this is a brilliant move ! the 90 day pause is a sign of good will and the HUGE tariff hikes on China is proof to the over 70 countries that Trump will absolutely use the stick if necessary ! Brilliant ! the tariff hikes on China sends the a stern message to the countries that were given a pause that Trump did not blink nor will he back down if they renege on their promises !

Right. Trump must've watch 'The Mouse that Roared' believing it was 'The Mouth that Roared'

I don't care what the left thinks in terms of blinking. I like that Trump is tackling this overall trade situation. I think he needed to get conversations going by doing something big because without that, I don't think any country would have wanted to negotiate.

Now, he needs to get it right, country by country and Bessent and team need time to do that, without rushing it too fast or too carelessly.

I appreciate that this is happening, and I think it has a greater chance of overall success than failure.

and any country that was thinking of playing along and making false promises to get a reprieve and buy time now realize that Trump is not weak nor will he be taken advantage of .. his move on China sends a chilling message that proves it ..

Of course they will not give him credit. If he were not postponing some of the tariffs, then they would be accusing Trump of being too rigid. Trump cannot possibly do anything right for these people.

Joe Biden set the bar too high for them.

So....he caved.?
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!

 

[my2¢]

Trump listened to the call of his billionaire hedge fund manager pal Bill Ackman who last Sunday called for a 90-day postponement. Ackman warned that without the postponement the nation was headed for an economic nuclear winter.

Sure, he "caved" on purpose to benefit the US with negotiations and to put China in a much tougher position. Smart move, but Democrats are too stupid to see it.

 

[d0gbreath]

Tim Cook said "WTF" and now phones, computers, and chips are exempt from the tariffs. Next he'll exempt Chinese made Trump products. Pretty soon there won't be a tariff on anything.

He caved because the markets were tanking and the billionaires who helped put him in the White House were coming out against him......and you appear to be too...well, I'll be kind...partisan to see it.

Jack, the word 'brilliant' and you just simply do not belong together in the same sentence! Trump is applying pressure where needed: China is getting 145% tariff while others are getting a bone for playing nice. You know--- kinda like how your dog throws you a bone to get a rise out of you to get you off your fat ass eating those fried pork rinds while watching sunday boy's pickleball.

Unlike you, Trump's "caving" was merely a nimble "act of faith" to those showing a willingness to work with the USA and as an example to the rest of the world. Trump is adapting his program according to the ever-changing individual needs because, after all, free trade is the goal, not levying tariffs.

Stick that in your slide rule and smoke it.

He caved, son. Just he'll cave again this week...and next week.
I can rub your nose into it......erm..talk to you about it then.

 

[toobfreak]

He caved because the markets were tanking

In other words, he was dynamic, as opposed to Joe Bedpan, who no matter how crime went up or how many fentanyl deaths or the polling of the issue, never wavered one bit in his open border/open drug policy.

Had Buttfart Biden been more like Trump, he might still be in office.

And that just /kills/ you.

Another one of your famous predictions like Trump will never be president again? Remember how you made that prediction over and over and over again?

I can rub your nose into it......

You try and do that Jack. Meanwhile, 75 countries are already working with Trump to adjust tariffs, and sooner or later, China too must crack. It will be almost as much fun watching Trump break China as it is always breaking you.

Trump announced another flip. The guy is insane. Watch the Asian markets today.

He's mad because of the media laughing at his dumb ass.
