As to the supposed deals:
1. For tariffs not to be brought up is weird, insofar that they are a (if not THE) key flashpoint in our relationship with China.
2. It's an act of faith (a foolish one, I think) to believe in Chinese trade commitments where money hasn't changed hands.
3. It's unclear what impact any deal (no matter how credible) made today could have on elections six month away.
Maybe check with how the farmers feel and not how YOU feel.
Farmers being less than 2% of GDP seem to have inordinate political clout. This must change. I don’t give a f about them. If imported food is cheaper I say import away. Sorry but deindustrialization and importing replacement workers has turned me not a hard man. We are a lowest common denominator oungry.
500,000 ChiComm “students” invading us isn’t what I voted for.
From The Hill. I’ll wait for a more credible source.
