It's strike a deal, or deal with serious problems at home.

Let the process play out.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Howard Nutlick was on TV this morning assuring us that companies will just absorb the tariffs and consumers won’t see any of it.  I don’t think so baldilocks.

Whatever this "deal" may be, does anyone actually expect the ChiComs to live up to its terms?

They didn't the last one so....no
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Excerpt:
Geneva, Switzerland – The U.S.-China trade deal, finalized on May 11, 2025, in Geneva, slashes tariffs by 115%, with U.S. duties on Chinese goods dropping from 145% to 30% and China’s levies on American products falling from 125% to 10%, per whitehouse.gov []. The breakthrough, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, also advances fentanyl cooperation, per cnbc.com []. But a shocking revelation from the Chinese delegation about Biden’s negligence angers conservatives.


More proof that Joe Biden was weak and owned by China.

The Biden administration needs to be held accountable for every horrible decision that was made. Clearly, America’s best interests were never important to any of them.

Yeah!  The Chinese Communist Party has appeased Trump, in words only, to continue stealing technology and industry from the West.

Congress needs to make the United States an easier place to make long-term capital investments.

Nope. They're going to break their word on Day One. Guaranteed.

Sure China can try and cheat, and they'll get their bag slapped if they do with a resumption of tariffs and whatever other measures that can be crafted.
