Blinked? Trump and the US have China right where we want them... between a rock and a hard place.
To: karpov
What a twisted way of looking at this. Trump got exactly what he wanted. He’s now in negotiations, making deals, reducing tariffs around the world that have been harming the US. And he has very effectively isolated China and got other countries to join him in that. Everything is going to be different — and better. Big win for Trump. But ... you know ... I guess he “blinked”.

What a rag, easily as bad as the NYTs or MSNBC.

The 10% across the board tariff is still in effect.
WS Urinal is the enemy of the people. Treat what they say accordingly.

The WSJ is decidedly TDS.

The WSJ is now even emulating their left wing newspaper colleagues in having multiple people writing a hit piece on Trump.

Meanwhile in Peking surgery to keep Xi Jinping's eyes from blinking continuously was completed.
After surgery Xi reportedly demanded to know the meaning of a word from an ancient Chinese dialect. Know one in the CCP Poliburo knew the origins or meaning of FAFO .

What we have here is a failure to communicate
The WSJ failed to comprehend the process of world trade and tried to place the Trump tariff process in the irrelevant ordinary WSJ shoe box they report every day.

The left trying to spin a Trump surrender- is anybody fooled? It is almost comical how they are trying to gain the narrative.

The way I see it. Trump saw the market dropping and issued the 90 delay. He now has time to negotiate with the countries that have been calling him. Trump wins again.

Donald Trump does not “blink” at any time. He is merely negotiating, in his own style.
It is called “getting the other guy to ‘Yes’”. But sometimes it is like watching sausage being made.
Donald Trump has been unusually transparent in how he negotiates, but some folks are still aghast while watching.
Now is not the time to go all wobbly.
