Washington – President Donald Trump is signaling caution on his trade truce with China, saying his team is working to see whether a “REAL deal” is doable and stressing “I am a Tariff Man.”

Trump tweeted Tuesday that the negotiations with China have begun. He says the talks will end in 90 days, “unless extended,” suggesting there is flexibility to that deadline.
Trump adds: “President Xi and I want this deal to happen, and it probably will. But if not remember, I am a Tariff Man.” He says tariffs “will always be the best way to max out our economic power.”
The Trump administration reached a 90-day trade truce after a lengthy dinner Saturday between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jingping. Trump has described the truce as a breakthrough, but details on the agreement have been limited.
The big deal maker can’t even get his own message straight about this. Kudlow screwed up again and so did his uberfuhrer whose tariffs have hurt his red state knuckle draggers more than anyone. Maybe he can blame Mueller, CNN or the Refugee Caravan for this latest screw up.
Lucky for us he is a stable genius.
Trump is using basic real estate tactics against a proud people with a 4,000 year old history and which remembers what the U.S. did during the Opium War. It’s a different situation and Trump needs to confer with actual China experts. Trump isn’t doing anything that China hasn’t factored in during the past few months. In the meantime, the foods that China imports to feed livestock are not being purchased and soybeans are being sourced from South America. China doesn’t care about us buying their cars or buying our cars. And….The Chinese Premier and the CPC Central Committee (Politburo) are not worried about reelection.
