Having removed the pesky term limits that threatened to his continued tenure as President of the People’s Republic of China, President Xi has nothing but time as toy poodle Trump nips at his heels barking about revamping China/USA trade.
But Trump has an election coming up and Xi knows it.
Morning Joe predicts Trump will fold his hand at the end of this year or the beginning of the next and that it will be American farmers that get the shaft.
“”During a discussion on bad economic reports indicating that the U.S. may be heading for a recession, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough first mocked President Donald Trump’s business acumen before predicting that he will cobble together a bad deal with China in hopes of slowing down the economic slide before the 2020 election.
“I actually heard this on Fox News last week. somebody expressing real concern that the Chinese already know that, for Donald Trump, the only sort of economic trick he has left in his bag is to come to a resolution on the trade war with China to get the economy going,” Scarborough recalled. “Well, if we all know that, then the Chinese leaders know that. Xi [Jinping] knows that.”
“And so Xi will drive a harder bargain with Donald Trump,” he continued. “And at the end of the day, the man who wrote a book on ‘The Art of the Deal’ while he was losing more money than any American alive will have to strike another bad deal with the Chinese because they know he’s timing all this for his re-election.”
“He’s going to push the trade war as long as he can and then, as he gets into the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020, ‘Okay, let’s do a trade deal with China and try to amp the economy up,'” the MSNBC host added. “The Chinese know that, so obviously Donald Trump’s position at the table is going to significantly weakened and American consumers and farmers will continue to be hurt.””
I think Schmoe is probably right on this and I think Xi will take advantage of holding all the cards and really make drumpf eat a mile of sh** in order to get a deal that he can then lie about and say it’s the best agreement since the Louisiana Purchase.
Democrats need to be watching and craft an appropriate response to the coming con job.
Because it’s all about the ABCs with drumpf.
Always Be Conning.
