President Donald Trump on Friday floated cutting tariffs on China from 145% to 80% ahead of a weekend meeting among top U.S. and Chinese trade officials as he looks to deescalate the trade war.
Art of the deal: make concessions before negotiations.
He can pussy out all he wants - the damage is already done.
Some damage is already done. A lot. But flip flopping again and backing down would make it less bad.
I don’t think he committed enough damage. Public opinion has not shifted enough.
I wondered when he’d back down, and what excuse he’d give to his followers.
whatever excuse they will eat it up and parrot it like it is the most profound economic truth, and then complain about Biden when we hit Depression 2.0 in August
Does it matter? Trade is nearly stalled anyway.
What an obnoxious whiny little bitch… goes and starts a trade war for no reason, and then loses.
Not for no reason, because he somehow thought it would generate enough profit to cut taxes on the rich
Literally no one in his administration understands macroeconomics
This must what winning looks like.
Shun anyone who voted for this for life
I’ll forgive people who voted the first time, I avoid people who voted for him the second time, and I have to constantly restrain myself from being violent on people who voted for him a third time.

My congratulations to Trade for winning the trade war.
