Mnuchin: 'We're Putting The Trade War On Hold' Back to article

[thebigragu]

“We’re putting the trade war on hold,” Mnuchin told Fox News’

Is that a confession that Trump started a “trade war” with China?

Reminds me of - Of course it’s a ban!

Here’s another development in which Trump flip-flops on a trade dispute with China entirely coincidentally with the infusion of $500 million into a Trump-org project in Indonesia. No relationship between the two things what-so-ever my dears, silly of you all to even think such a thing. Oh hey laid-off steelworkers—there are good jobs available retrofitting houses and industries for solar, or were, until the funding got cut. So I guess you’re out of luck? Nobody could have seen that coming.

Don’t forget the soy-bean purchase.

Oh, so the Mnooch can’t tell us the super duper secret plan… I get it. We wouldn’t understand it anyway, the depth and complexity of it.

Wow, the Nobel Prize winning NorKo effort and the Great Trade War of 2018 have come to yet another ignominious Dotard downfall in the same week?..

Priceless…

He doesn’t even have to hide in anymore.

They can always move to China and look for work there - Trump is determined to save Chinese jobs.

And of course it was a quid pro quo - the odor of it stinks up the whole universe.

It smells like cash to the Trump cabal. Lots and lots of cash.

I read by 2020 all new residential construction in California will require solar panels.

He wants that NoKo Nobel™ really bad.

“We’re putting the trade war on hold,” Mnuchin told Fox News’ Chris Wallace in an interview Sunday. “So right now, we have agreed to put the tariffs on hold while we try to execute the framework.”

Peace with honor. Isn’t this how we won the war in Vietnam?

Not $500 Million, but $1 Billion!

Additional Chinese Banks pledged an additional $500 million so the project has a billion in Chinese funding.

In Chinese terms, that’s chump-change.

Whew - I was worried that Ivanka’s knock-off shoes and slave-made clothing would be unavailable.

Well, I guess I’m just going to have to do better keeping up with how many hundreds of millions of dollars the Chinese are giving the Trump organization. Somebody has to, because I’m sure the President of the United States is focused on the people’s business, not the ups and downs of his own. Otherwise—but no, no, never mind. I’m sure he’s focused on making the right decisions.
