Trump claimed when slapped the first set of new tariffs on China last week, that he would soon get a call from Jinping, like other countries started doing.
He didn't get a call and then Trump canceled a meeting with Chinese trade officials. He was still figuring that Xi would call. But it didn't happen. All it started was an escalating poker game where each side raised the stakes.
China is calling Trump a laughing stock. Trump is now going to have even more to make him angry. What happens when is angry? He raises the tariff again.
And the losing streak continues. Nobody is afraid of Trump, and nobody is calling to kiss his ass. He's a total joke around the world.
That sound you hear is the entire world economy shifting towards the Chinese economy for goods and services, as well as goods. Once that shift is complete, it will permanently hurt the American economy, and red states will suffer the worst.
Oh, and I mention China just imposed a ban on all US LNG imports, and tankers are now just sitting in the Pacific with nowhere to go?

China ban on LNG imports shows they have studied and understand US vulnerabilities
John Menadue wrote yesterday: In a move that stunned traders, analysts and policymakers alike, China has just announced a complete halt on all liquefied natural gas imports from the United States. A decision made abruptly with no prior indication, no...
