President Trump will delay an upcoming increase in tariffs on $250billion worth of goods from China as a 'gesture of good will'.
Trump tweeted Wednesday that he would push back tariffs set to go into effect on October 1, by two weeks to October 15.
He said he is doing so at the request of Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He because the People's Republic of China will be celebrating its 70th anniversary on October 1.
'At the request of the Vice Premier of China, Liu He, and due to the fact that the People's Republic of China will be celebrating their 70th Anniversary...on October 1st, we have agreed, as a gesture of good will, to move the increased Tariffs on 250 Billion Dollars worth of goods (25% to 30%), from October 1st to October 15th.'

Interesting
What?
Every time he pushes them back he loses face. As does the United States of America.
The pressure is still on. China has ~30 days to make a deal.
Christmas shopping season.
To blink or not to blink? To give China time to reconsider or not to?
Wonder what the motive is...
The Art of the Deal.
I think he just likes messing with them
Its like Chinese water torture
I think he’s trying to get to election day 2020 without a recession. So he is stringing along the Chicoms. The media, Dems and Fed are all working feverishly trying to put the country into an economic downturn.
If the economy goes into a recession, who would you want to in power to pull it back out?
A Donald Trump
B Pocahontas
C Creepy Joe Biteme
D Crazy Commie Bernie
That would be an interesting polling question
They just threw us a bone with some delayed tariffs and now Trump throws one back.
Don’t dismiss Pocahontas. The media will dress her up all pretty and her stick it to the man talking points will resonate with many dim Democrat bulbs.
AGAIN?????????????????????????
He has done this too many times
Every time he pushes them back he loses face. As does the United States of America....
No actually it makes him look generous and the one who is dictating all the rules. If they violate it he can say look we tried our best we did everything we were supposed to do and they still violated the rules. So he absolutely has the upper hand.
Two weeks is just a gesture (about a half billion dollars).
Once the tariffs go into effect, they just stay there.
So China made a gesture, removing some US tariffs, President Trump made a smaller gesture, with just a brief delay.
When China last tried to retaliate with $5 billion per year in tariffs, President Trump responded (same day) with $27 billion per year on them.
Clearly, Trump is the boss. Clearly, he has the power to reward or punish them severely, without having to ask anyone’s permission. Clearly, he will do it. Able and willing.
Regardless of how the press spins it for the public, the Chicoms see the effects they are really getting, and they are finding out the hard way the impacts it is having on their economy.
Make a deal or pay the growing price - President Trump is fine either way. Its not his first rodeo, and he is going to ride them hard.
The chinese recently brinked, Trump responding in kind
To her hard core leftists, yes she will be loved.
But to moderates, or “lost” democrats, the democrats without a party, she is just another run of the mill promise everything deliver nothing politician.
The “lost” democrats are your union workers, moderate democrats, African American democrats, business owning democrats and your wallstreeters
They are the democrats who no longer recognize the democrat party, it is no longer your grandpappy’s party.
The media will do everything to dress her up, well maybe not put her in a head dress lol. But they will make her to be electable and will have her back, just like they did with Hillary. Problem, she is a giant wimp, problem she reminds people of their high school english teacher, she exactly isn’t the person you want in charge of anything, problem she is from Massachusetts, problem she is a senator, problem she has an identity problem.... Wait, this is starting to sound like 2004 all over again. Remember that race? Bush was an idiotic Nazi Monkey who was too stupid to be president, so the democrats ran a liberal leftist senator from Massachusetts that has an identity problem, his problem was he wanted to pretend he was an everyday person but in reality he was rich, he did everything to run away from his wealth (or his wife’s wealth). Warren will lead into the polls until mid October 2020, and it will be over for her.
I do believe she will be the nominee
If Steve Bannon/The Epoch Times is to believed, China is very close to collapse and this is giving them breathing room.

I hate to admit it but I agree with George Soros, Trump should stick to his guns.
