Earlier Thursday, President Trump tweeted about the ongoing trade war with China, saying “Getting VERY close to a BIG DEAL with China. They want it, and so do we!”

I’m not very enthusiastic about this deal. We will lower the tariffs we imposed in exchange for China PROMISING to abide by certain agreements.

We act, they promise. That’s essentially what I see here.

It all depends on them keeping their word.

Is this a deal Jared was working on? I read yesterday that he was working on a China deal.

It will work as long as Trump is president.

If they don’t perform, tariffs will go right back on.

Yes, but tho opposite is also completely the case.

They behave as long as Trump is president, but before he even leaves office, they will be aggressively cheating.

And we will have nothing.

Nothing.

5 years of proper and fair trade is nothing? Hogwash!

And, if the next president is as strong as trump (I know, unlikely.) then fair trade will continue.

Best

A bunch of Debbie Downers. More than before done. Yet you complain it’s not enough. At this point I will give the President the benefit of any doubt. I will be vocal about it. He has done so much more than the political class who take millions in personal profits over billions/trillions in national resources in exchange for selling you into bondage. President hounded by the FIB/CIA/house Dems... for impeachment bogus UFO made up crap ... Please just say -

Thank you President Trump for doing the best you can in the situation you are in for the American citizens.

I’m not a PDJT fanboy over reality but my goodness he has done more than anyone in my lifetime in his office.

Thanks!!!!!

No doubt can be revisited after Trump wins reelection.
