Is there a trade deal with China? Is it really a deal or just a pull-back to status quo ante? Is Trump advancing US interests in this well-executed trade battle plan or was this poorly conceived from the start . . . and harmful?

I think the jury's still out, but I haven't seen that the Chinese are offering much in compromise - and it's not even clear if there's going to be an agreement. But it's clear they are working on something and I'm sure Trump will sell it as the greatest trade deal ever. The proof will be in the details.

(CNN) — A day after offering Canada a one-month reprieve on punishing nearly across-the-board 25% tariffs, President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs as soon as Friday on Canadian lumber and dairy products.

“Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products,” Trump said in an Oval Office address Friday, citing Canada’s roughly 250% tariff on US dairy exports to the country. Trump said America would match those tariffs dollar-for-dollar.

“We may do it as early as today, or we’ll wait until Monday or Tuesday,” Trump said. “We’re going to charge the same thing. It’s not fair. It never has been fair, and they’ve treated our farmers badly.”……

They are not idiots. These sound bites are for those who voted for them.

Well, true. Which goes back to the stupidity of the electorate.
 
Donald Trump’s new Treasury secretary blew off the apparent slowdown in the nation’s economy as nothing more than “detox” as government spending switches to the private sector.

Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged apparent signs of a slowed economy following a weeklong drop in the stock market rattled by Donald Trump’s tariffs and a lower-than expected report of 151,000 new jobs in February (170,000 was predicted).

"Could we be seeing that this economy that we inherited starting to roll a bit? Sure," Bessent said in an interview Friday on CNBC's Squawk Box.

“The market and the economy have become hooked, become addicted, to excessive government spending, and there’s going to be a detox period,” Bessent said.

He insisted it would be a “natural adjustment” as the Trump administration pushes the nation “away from public spending to private spending,”

Bessent didn’t detail how spending for benefits like Social Security or many other public services could be switched to the private sector because they wouldn’t be profitable for a business to take them over.…..

Government spending does not “switch to the private sector”. The private sector has no infrastructure to do what these simplistic azzhat zealots claim.

You don’t go from +4% to - 2.8% GDP growth in one month. They are trying to cause a recession.
