China’s comments come after Trump said Tuesday that things were going “fine with China” and that the final tariff rate on Chinese exports would come down “substantially” from the current 145%.

Well, on one side you have the AP (a reliable DNC Mouth Piece) and CCW (Worst set of liars there are) and on the other side you have the Trump Administration.

Is there really any doubt as to who is lying and who is not?

The problem is when you tariff China an hour later you want to tariff them again.

They are culturally unable to assume the position of petitioner. An invisible prison cell.

There will be short-term pain in a trade war with China, but long-term benefit. Either we level the playing field with China now or never - Trump is not going to be running for office again and if he’s not going to follow through, no GOP president ever will. And we already know no Democrat president ever will.

There are several ways one could interpret the phrase “ Active Negotiations”. Think as a lawyer may think when you don’t want to show your hand.
