The trade and economy mega-thread (4 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

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.

I really should save this picture. I'm sure I will use it again.

I have been listening to The Rest Is Politics US with Anthony Scaramucci for many months and he has been saying exactly what this article says. Do not acquiesce to his extreme positions and he basically relents or focuses his energy elsewhere. Appeasement is the worst strategy.

Yes, as it is with any bully.
