Bet this gets reported as “Trump Blinks In China Trade Showdown.”
Stock market up 10,000 pts tomorrow.
No.....! Please no! Not while you’re on the road to WINNING. You have them on the ropes economically! Don’t give that up. Our side’s position will continue to get stronger and their side will get weaker.
China thrives on American political short-termism.
As long as the tariffs remain, delay works for us.
don’t do it, Donald. jmho.
Wasn’t this debunked this morning, just a little while after it was first reported?
‘Stock market up 10,000 pts tomorrow.’
Sell tomorrow(Friday)?
‘China thrives on American political short-termism.’
The Chinese and the Muslims play a thousand year game.
The Americans attention span is too short for a 30 second TV commercial.
Everything Trump says is designed to make the other side move.
It’s like a sniper who just needs the other guy to move a little so he can sight him.
A face saving move.
Beautifully played.
News I could’ve used BEFORE the closing bell.
Sleep with them before you marry. Its done all the time.
Trump is soooooo ahead of everyone on economics.....
And.....they're brass
Three years in China as an expat.
‘Face’ to the Chinese is everything.

“A face saving move.”
Years ago it was called “taking the high road.”
Commonly, this phrase is used when dealing with someone who uses shady tactics against you. Instead of trying to respond with equally shady tactics, you decide instead to let them take “the low road” and you take “the high road”. This suggests a confidence (or at least a hope) that doing the right thing will turn out all right in the end. But, if it doesn’t, you’ll have the solace of knowing you kept your principles.
And when the smoke clears, they still can’t feed themselves.......and we can.
