How are you discussing a deal with China when they don't answer your phone calls?!!!

[koohanpaik-mander]

Misleading headline. No talk with China.

US called China and China replied : the number u hv dial is not in please dial again !

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. Taxes are heavy on the middle classes and the billionaires avoid taxes or are given tax cuts. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SS! will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with Catalina Soto Busch my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

Watch what Japan and China have to say. Please inform the American public

Does China know that is in talks with US ? Someone better tell them

[danieltam]

I have more faith in winning something from the TV show "Let's Make a Deal" than from Trump's "Everybody Wants to Make a Deal".

📖 I used to think it was all chaotic. Then I read The Dark Art of Financial Freedom by Elias Rockefeller and realized: it’s a controlled demolition, done step-by-step. Terrifying how accurate it’s been.

Trump begging Xi to pick up the
Phone. 🤣🤣

[danxy]

Trump should call the penguins. They’re ready to make a deal

[Glory-to-God.]

Trump has only one goal which is to make headlines every day in order to fantasize how important he is.

[johnnytran]

it's late in China, Xi just got back from Cambodia and is probably passed out right now.

"Trump says."
What a useless statement.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[AndrewinCanada]

Glad to see the comments from people who have caught on to Trump.

[إستقمكماأُمرتَ-سم]

When he says something always makes you wonder what he's gonna say the day after

[LuckyStrikes]

Showing respect was the top requirement for negotiations. Tough to imagine the current administration doing that. I'm pretty sure China is discussing trade with the EU and Canada though.

[xlrbossshorts]

Either Trump is an optimistic or a gaslighted. From his behavior, I'm leaning to the later.

Tariffs are here forever ♾️
It’s called inflation. Just roll 6 trillion next month 😂
