    Bro... you admitted you don't follow international trade.

    We don't know what's really going on with NK..... I would imagine they have achieved their nuclear goals and are ready to deal. The Trump admin has already push down expectations recently on the upcoming summit.

    When I say I don't follow something I mean follow it closely

    I know we are China's largest customer. I know they put tariffs on a lot of our exports there and I know this is an unusual move to lower them

    I know only an ******* would rub it in someone's face when they freely admit they don't follow something closely.

    Like I'm not supposed to comment on this. I don't post to get you guys riled up about Trump. Good Lord, everyone made their response to me personal for whatever reason.

    You are passing with flying colors

    So... getting the three people out was great for the three and a positive... until we learn what we gave up to get them out. But tell me... that was enough for you to begin extolling trump's successes re: NK and China?

    North Korea?!?... you're joking right? Other than getting a commemorative coin, Trump has done nothing but setup a high stakes poker tournament and might not even have enough cash on hand to make it to the table to start the game.

    Don’t get me wrong.... a peace treaty would be amazing and I hope like hell Trump makes it happen. Nobody is rooting for the other outcome.

    But nothing has happened yet. How anyone can see otherwise and award him the Nobel is beyond me. Moon has done more than anyone to start up talks. It’s up to Trump and co not to F it up and actually make it to the table. Hiring John Bolton, pulling out of the Iran deal right now for some reason, and military exercises in SK show that the guy is actually not that serious or incompetent about the situation and how high stakes this game really is.

    With China... he’s been played up until this announcement. Now with the quid pro quo the other day (railway to indo/Trump property for ZTE deal) they’ve got leverage over him that they could use to blackmail him and he initially got owned in the so-called Trade War he never really got started.

    But yeah... good job Trump on this one. If one is keeping score though, he’s kinda like the Rockets in the third quarter of game 3. He’s got a ways to go in order to say he’s overall doing a good job objectively.

    You said:


    I would be wary of calling "Mission Accomplished" so soon on NK.

    That's stupid. I don't pay attention to what anyone else said but nobody said you should be ignored. There's no collusion here. My point stands.

    Look where threatening tariffs has gotten us. You think they want our love?

    I have no doubt China is putting pressure on NK because of tariffs.

    All they want to do is keep selling cell phones and flat screens.

    Don't sound so naive

    Where has it gotten us exactly? Tariffs were slightly lowered on auto imports to China? Are we going to cave in on ZTE on China in order to sell more cars? What about intellectual property theft? What about China's powerful state owned enterprises (SOE) that skirt around international trade laws?

    Again. You literally said you don't follow international trade, walk away.

    As long as boomers have zero expectations of getting their full public benefits then yes.

    Liberals continue to weep.
