Still incredible to me how *anyone* reads this as anything other than (a) total baloney or (b) a prelude to Trump reversing his failed plan. Just imagine the degree of ignorance and cognitive dissonance required to take it at face value.

Yeah. They probably told him to pound sand.

I’m not a sociologist or psychologist, but the events of the past decade have taught me that, unfortunately, 1) a lot of Americans are quite dim-witted, 2) very, very, very narcissistic, and 3) a combination of the two which leads them to be insanely suggestible.

Didn’t China walk away from this meeting without engaging in any talks whatsoever? Didn’t they say they wouldn’t even begin negotiations unless liberation tariffs were dropped?

China left the meeting early and they are still refusing to buy Elon Starlink services....China will do like they did with Trump 1.0 find other sources to import food stuffs and export to other countries...When you have a strong hand you never ever pick up the phone you play the strong hand

Truth doesn't matter. Trump doesn't plan more than a few minutes in advance. He's not making moves to fix the economy or whatever you're giving him credit for, he's just self-aggrandizing.

Trump may not easily just reverse his plan. China probably controls more regarding speed and timing

But the thing is, when he caves, the markets will shoot back up and the media will call it a win. Just watch.

Even if Trump wants a Mulligan, you can't turn trade back on like a spigot and other countries have rightly deemed us an unreliable trade partner.

If I was China I’d pretend to some agreements in the meeting and then rug pull Trump publicly.

The man has been negotiating with himself. China is like a mother waiting for a teenage boy to finally come out of the bathroom. 😜

You just described pretty much every active trader on Wall Street right now. Barreling towards a cliff with their ears stuffed and their eyes closed.

The media is absolutely going to present it as a productive reset and call it a win for Trump

The media and the market is going to eat this shit up though. Without hesitation, it will be portrayed as a win.

Trump is like a cleric for the right wing. He can go in and "bless" something that already exists, and THEN his people will accept it even though it's unchanged from what it was before. There's just a weird cleansing ritual he does by screaming and spitting everywhere, then, "This is good now."

Does he think the Chinese won't read what he posted?

He's already lied about talking to them. He's lying here too. They probably told him to get f-ed and they'll go after his daughter's trademarks next.

Just last week Trump said literally "we don't care about their market". Now we're expected to believe he just wants everyone to prosper LOL.

Motivated reasoning is a powerful antidote to cognitive dissonance, y'know? If you want to believe he's a genius negotiator, you'll believe him when he tells you he's a genius negotiator. Poof! No more dissonance.
