I would have preferred the imposition of new tariffs, but stocks are up on the news.

Never trust China. I would have raised tariffs to 50% and let China collapse.

I suspect that this deal will keep the economy soaring for a while and then new economic ties with England will follow throughout the election season. Masterfully done, Mr. President. What he has, and is doing should be shouted from every housetop.

And as soon as this election is over, we need to identify a candidate for 2024 who can keep the ball rolling. All the historical models are now dead. The Trump era ended all those and a new economic world is now in place.

President Trump:

Do not give in to Communist Red China on trade

or anything else. They are our enemy. Quite funding them, USA and USAians.

You better look around your house. Bet 80% of your “stuff” was made in China.

As soon as they refuse to honor the deal, no going to the WTO.

SLAP THE TARIFFS BACK on. THAT’S WHATS SO GOOD ABOUT THIS SYSTEM.We do not need t9o wait at all if the Chinese try to cheat, as they always do.

Not if an unrestrained Trump is President. After that all bets are off. There won’t be another like Trump so better get it all done now.

That's is the problen that a high import tariff will solve. All that junk should be HEAVILY tariff'ed to help pay the social costs of de industrialization. The higher the tariff the more on shoring of industry will happen.

It looks like a lose on it’s face. Trump has really bad and corrupt globalist advisers.

That’s inompetent approach because China might divert export, impose own tariffs and so on.
Better tactic is to discourage own businesses to do business with China. And to improve business climate in the first place.
China won’t collapse because of US tariffs and if US would push too hard they have an ace or two in their sleeves too.

You keep beating that same old tired democrat drum. I say it is a win. Trump says it is a win. Take it up with him.
