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.

Yeah, Trump is literally starting a path to war with our neighbors. He's such an idiot.

Wasn't sure where to put this.

Remember when Musk told advertisers who were boycotting X to fork right off?

Well, now he wants to sue them for doing what he told them to do. Lol.

How can anyone alive today, who has seen the technological advances of the past 50 years, hold this view? That 1870-1914 was the greatest period for technological advancement?

What could be illegal about an advertiser deciding to pull their ads?

The big ol' meanies hurt Musk's feelings bottom line, and that can't be allowed to stand in his world.
