Some might look at this as admission of guilt. Wonder if a search warrant is possible?
 
Trump is said to have lowered Chinese tariffs because of the disadvantages for his own voter base

The White House is said to have lowered tariffs against China after warnings of disadvantages for large parts of Trump's electorate - including port workers and truck drivers. The Washington Post reconstructs this with reference to two people who are familiar with the events.

Decisive for this were warnings from advisers, Secretary of Finance Scott Bessent and Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles that the punitive tariffs could hit central voter groups in particular economically. The measures have already had a noticeable impact on the US economy and led to uncertainty in international markets.

"We've seen Trump stand up to his neck when it comes to business for the first time," said Doug Heye, a Republican communications strategist who worked for former House of Representatives Majority Leader Eric Cantor. That was the reason for Trump's decision to lower tariffs. »It hits a core of its DNA – the economy and business. That made it difficult for him to maintain these customs."

I think it has more to do with the Chinese knowing their about to have financial ruin and people are already protesting and burning factories down because they haven't been paid in months....

For the 90 day pause....
USA has dropped its tariffs from 145% to 30% on Chinese goods
China has dropped its tariffs from 125% to 10% on USA goods

China would not have done this if they had leverage in the situation; it's merely China trying to save face and combat the massive exit of foreign investment that has occurred; if they had not agreed to the 90 day pause the CCP would have catastrophe on their hands.
 
Saving face is part of the Asian culture.

I dont think we would ever have to go to war with China, when we could simply crush the Chinese economy without ever firing a shot.

I get a kick out of all the media propaganda claiming Trump is losing the Trade war.
 
The big beautiful bill is not so beautiful as it gets watered down in the house
They need to realize there are 77 million Trump supporters, and not 77 million GOP supporters

77 million voted for Trump does not mean 77 million support him nor every single idea he has. There's a difference.

A lot of people held their nose and voted for Trump due to the alternative. That does not mean they support him or a lot of his ideas.
 
And China up to its sneaky stuff yet again....another surprise surprise...

 
Spike, that is why Obama and Bidens handlers were happy to give the bare minimum to Ukraine. They preferred to drain Russia militarily and financially.

Not very compassionate as they pretend to be. But definitely an effective strategy.

This has been a real threat for at least 20 years. Ramping up the last 5 years.
Unfortunately the power utility equipment with back door switch’s is still a huge vulnerability.
 
It's a pretty safe bet that the Lion's share of those voters, voted for Trumps agenda, and not the GOP Rino's who are trying to block it.

Yep. There are voters and the followers. A voter may rethink and reflect his choice. The followers are just zombies who well....Just follow.
How's the Zombie voting outcome in Australia with that amazing leadership that gets elected down there?.....LOL

We haven't allowed an NFA up here.
 
Ben Cohen, ultra liberal co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream was arrested by capitol police for disrupting an HHS committee meeting.
Cohen and his fellow protesters were shouting that congress was complicit for the deaths of children in Gaza.
They were all escorted out by Capitol police.
