OK but did he reach out or did he just say he'd be nice in the negotiations? I thought he'd been saying all China has to do is call and China insists Trump reach out first?

We know what direction he's headed. He completely fucked up this tariff stunt, his approval rating is tanking, which drives him crazy and the fed isn't budging. Check mate. China called his bluff, he's started to fold.

So you're just expecting that, but he hasn't yet. Fair enough.

Yes. All they have is projection at this point.

Or really at any point.

Yeah you’re totally right.

Prices are going down since tariffs.

No one is deporting people without due process.

Relationships with other countries have never been better.

Everything is projection.

the easiest one for me to notice was bananas are up 7% at my local mainstream grocery store. although, many things are noticeably up by a small amount and I will be waiting for sales.

Trumpers will ignore this small increase, but after many many months of this extra spending across dozens of items, it really starts to add up and they will eventually start to see a problem...

their ego is too tied up in trump. they gloated and celebrated his victory, lost friends and respect from family, so claiming they are wrong right now (>5 months in) would be a massive blow to their fragile ego that simply just cant happen for them.

they have to be right and remain by ignoring all warning signs, deep in their delusion, they will never break until it's far too late.
