It's better to keep your pie hole closed and look a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. Maybe READ the art of the deal?! But I'm sure you prefer to get your information from your liberal biased media. They have pictures
No, for China it’s the USA way or the highly. They MUST make a deal that Trump accepts. They can walk out but they MUST make Trump happy. They can’t bribe USA politicians this time.
As usual, Trump has no plan and doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't understand international trade and he doesn't understand his adversary. While he is easier to read than a primary school book.
Bribing US politicians no longer has the ROI it once did. Since you're talking like an American, I'm going to a) that's what you are and b) tell you that China is perfectly fine selling to the rest of the world. We always needed them more than the other way around.
Yeah, he did what he always does: tried to bluff his way out of a problem of his own making. You'd think as many times as he's done it, he'd be better at it. And you'd be thinking wrong.
China is taking the place of America as the most powerful and strongest country! And we are finding out how much the rest of the world hates us and how Donald Trump has turned us into a weak hated country😡GOOD JOB MAGA😡😡😡👺👺Hateful people 😡😡😡👺👺👺👺
Agree with the first, less so with the second. Seems more likely Canada is poised to take our place by the day. Might even take over some of those bases we currently have.
Perplexity has now provided this: “Both delegations were observed leaving their venues for routine activities, such as lunch breaks, but these were not characterized as walkouts by any official or state media sources”
This was always ahead of us. China can push its people to absorb pain. We cannot. The dollar will tumble. Our economy will crash with no hope for years. Bessent is not capable of negotiating. Seasoned diplomats were necessary. China knows this administration is a joke—a fool filled with hot air and no clue about what he is doing. Now he has no face-saving off-ramp. What a jackass. He is destroying us.
I’m so sick of this. He walked into a booming economy and in three months has put most of us in the poorhouse. There was absolutely no reason to do this.
Well, there was a reason. Just not a good one. He actually had two reasons: 1) to show the world he could (cuz in the end he’s nothing but a power hungry man-baby) and 2) to get rich(er). Fortunately, this appears to be backfiring in spectacular fashion.
Very true. But all his attempts at letting this go under the radar have failed. I expect some future litigation requiring disgorgement of these profits plus penalties as soon as he’s gone.
And the sooner the better, Doris. But he has been getting away with his illegal schemes for so long, primarily by using the courts, that he'll be dead of old age by the time Justice catches up to him.
Exactly, stop shopping at the big box stores that cater to the regime, and boycott the online entities like Amazon. There are other choices to buy from, such as smaller local retailers (who are most at risk to lose from the tariff stupidity). I found a couple of online grocery retailers who try to source their products to stay competitive and I have been happy with them so far. So for those of us who don’t care about the latest fashion brands or have to have twenty pairs of shoes (LOL) ,which used to be me back in the day),there are choices to minimize our spending. My car is paid for and well maintained so I am going to wait and see, not planning to buy now. Maybe all consumers can support each other by proposing a “buy less is patriotic “ approach during this regime.
I agree with you on Aldi, love going there. Trader Joe’s was in the news last year regarding their anti union policies so I have cooled towards shopping there. But Aldi is about 20 minutes away, so one of my favorite places (and yea! We have a new Costco that’s an easy commute from Aldi) so more options.
Hi, I use Misfits Market online app and Thrive Market to supplement my groceries and products. I live in a semi-rural mountainous area in SoCal so have had weather conditions where it’s sometimes not feasible to drive anywhere and other issues so I decided to subscribe to these two options. And being a senior I am trying to eat a little more healthy, organic foods. Cost wise, probably a little more pricey for some things but so far I am liking them.
This assessment appears to be premature. Talks may break down, but most news services I rely on DO NOT report the talks to have been left in “smoking ruins.” This erroneous conclusion damages credibility and leads to the unfortunate impression of critics too eager to see him fail. Give him time, Trump will flounder soon enough.
Trump has been played—again.
Suggesting he got played would suggest that he had a plan.
Point taken. And it would also suggest he had game in the first place.
It's better to keep your pie hole closed and look a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. Maybe READ the art of the deal?! But I'm sure you prefer to get your information from your liberal biased media. They have pictures
Cultist, you are in for a terrible disappointment. And that disappointment will be lifelong. Enjoy this block.
Umkay No.
No, for China it’s the USA way or the highly. They MUST make a deal that Trump accepts. They can walk out but they MUST make Trump happy. They can’t bribe USA politicians this time.
As usual, Trump has no plan and doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't understand international trade and he doesn't understand his adversary. While he is easier to read than a primary school book.
You know, you could have stopped at "He doesn't understand".
Why should he stop at that?
Because no matter the topic, he doesn't understand shit.
Bribing US politicians no longer has the ROI it once did. Since you're talking like an American, I'm going to a) that's what you are and b) tell you that China is perfectly fine selling to the rest of the world. We always needed them more than the other way around.
No, they are nobody without USA.
They’d sink back to killing each other.
Thanks for confirming you're an ignorant, racist POS. Enjoy this block and eff off forever.
The USA walked into a gunfight carrying a sword.
They WISH it was a sword...more like a pen knife.
I was thinking sawed-off toothpick…..
That too works, friend!
More like wishful thinking - and a severely losing poker hand. All the chips were on the table and trump doesn’t have the cards AGAIN.
Yeah, he did what he always does: tried to bluff his way out of a problem of his own making. You'd think as many times as he's done it, he'd be better at it. And you'd be thinking wrong.
A sword made of cardboard no less 🙄 🍊🤡
More like a toy lightsaber.
A red one, mind.
Trump walked into a gunfight carrying a banana
China is taking the place of America as the most powerful and strongest country! And we are finding out how much the rest of the world hates us and how Donald Trump has turned us into a weak hated country😡GOOD JOB MAGA😡😡😡👺👺Hateful people 😡😡😡👺👺👺👺
Just out there making America great (read laughingstock) again🤬🤬
Making America Grovel Again
Make America a Ghosttown Again
Make America Grief Again
Make America Gobsmacked Again
Making America Go Away 👺👺😡
China doesn't need us. They will now become the world power and small businesses as well as hard working Americans will suffer
Agree with the first, less so with the second. Seems more likely Canada is poised to take our place by the day. Might even take over some of those bases we currently have.
Greenland should voluntarily join Canada just to watch the 🍊🤡 have a tity baby tantrum
Personally, I look for Canada to take over any military bases we have in Greenland if the BS factor gets too high.
I am unable to find a news source that confirms your report of a Chinese walkout of the talks. Please share your source.
Agreed.
I couldn’t either.
Perplexity has now provided this: “Both delegations were observed leaving their venues for routine activities, such as lunch breaks, but these were not characterized as walkouts by any official or state media sources”
Yes. Bloomberg is mentioning a lunch break.
Nor could I
The only one I found was from 6 years ago, during Trump's 1st term.
This was always ahead of us. China can push its people to absorb pain. We cannot. The dollar will tumble. Our economy will crash with no hope for years. Bessent is not capable of negotiating. Seasoned diplomats were necessary. China knows this administration is a joke—a fool filled with hot air and no clue about what he is doing. Now he has no face-saving off-ramp. What a jackass. He is destroying us.
Do billionaires really think trump is going to make them more money? If our economy tanks so does their wealth.
Bottom line: China has options and customers. We have neither. And they will keep bringing the pain to us until we remember.
iT blew up your options worldwide and betrayed your allies at the same time. His arrogance knows no bounds.
Nor his stupidity. The same goes double for everyone else in his orbit.
I’m so sick of this. He walked into a booming economy and in three months has put most of us in the poorhouse. There was absolutely no reason to do this.
Well, there was a reason. Just not a good one. He actually had two reasons: 1) to show the world he could (cuz in the end he’s nothing but a power hungry man-baby) and 2) to get rich(er). Fortunately, this appears to be backfiring in spectacular fashion.
He is spectacularly richer. He and his family have gained almost $3 billion with his digital scams and stock market manipulation.
Very true. But all his attempts at letting this go under the radar have failed. I expect some future litigation requiring disgorgement of these profits plus penalties as soon as he’s gone.
And the sooner the better, Doris. But he has been getting away with his illegal schemes for so long, primarily by using the courts, that he'll be dead of old age by the time Justice catches up to him.
This is all on Trump! Trump failed…. Again!
Good for China! F U trump
Let’s not sit idly by while the Oligarchs in China and the USA play “chicken” with tariffs to dump on us!
Remember, it’s the AMERICAN CONSUMER who has the ultimate economic power!
American consumers spend almost 70 cents of every dollar spent in our HUGE ECONOMY!
Yes! Americans are the KINGPIN of the largest economy ever created! Period!
Therefore, use your spending, or lack of spending, TO PROTEST THIS TAX INCREASE!
Yes, Tariffs are a tax on spending!
Let American and Chinese Oligarchs know that you’re not accepting their tariff war!
They can keep their stuff!
Tell them to “Stuff it!!”
STOP ALL UNNECESSARY SPENDING NOW!
IT IS THE AMERICAN CONSUMER WHO HAS ALL THE POWER IN THE WORLD, not Chinese and American Oligarchs!

We’re seniors too!
In Chicago, we have everything, “big box,” midsize and small shops!
The pricier neighborhoods have numerous small shops where you pay more for everything but you are NOT supporting the oligarchy!
It’s so darn worth it if you can afford it!
Lower-priced options are
Aldi and Trader Joe’s (both are German-owned brands!).
Both retailers are better groceries than the dreaded Whole Foods (Amazon) and Walmart!
I agree with you on Aldi, love going there. Trader Joe’s was in the news last year regarding their anti union policies so I have cooled towards shopping there. But Aldi is about 20 minutes away, so one of my favorite places (and yea! We have a new Costco that’s an easy commute from Aldi) so more options.
Fabulous response for meeting our challenges with joy and gusto!
Thanks so much Kathy!
Who are the online grocers?
Hi, I use Misfits Market online app and Thrive Market to supplement my groceries and products.

I will check these people out thank you so much
I hate Amazon. I really don’t like Walmart and I hate target
Our expert negotiators strike again! Fuckers, stupid stupid stupid.
Wonder why Trump never leaves the country? Does he have an ankle bracelet and did they take his passport away for his crimes?
I wish he would. There’s a LOT of people that don’t have him on their “friends” list.
Frump is a moron. The only thing more ignorant than frump are his cult followers.
