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.

Found it. Prices of gas is the lowest it's been in 3 years. Yet this kid cannot shake it. It's baked in and there's no critical thought involved. He's repeating a narrow maga talking point that simply isn't based in reality.

Also, if he doesn't want to pay $90 a to fill up his tank, don't drive a big as truck. Get a small fuel efficient or electric car. He's in college playing baseball, what does he need a truck for?

This is happening because the market knows that Trump economic policy is inflationary.

Meh, this is gonna be an issue for me. I want to sell my house and move to another. Only problem is I got my current place at a much lower rate. If they start climbing again significantly, I'm probably not gonna be able to do anything unless I get a much better paying job.

My brother-in-law drives a big azz truck (his license plate is “BIG A TRK”) because he hauls a three horse trailer. He knows what diesel costs and simply accepts it because he chose to have horses. Staunch Democrat btw. He has an everyday car and uses the truck when he needs to. On a side note, he keeps a spreadsheet and can tell you to the nickel how much money he has spent on horses.
