    In a move that should surprise no one with a clue:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Trump signals trade deal with China could be delayed until after 2020 election

    LONDON – President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday that the White House's trade war with China could drag on for some time after he said it might be better to wait to sign an agreement with Beijing until after the 2020 presidential election.

    "In some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal, but they want to make a deal now, and we will see whether or not the deal is going to be right," Trump told reporters in London, where he is taking part in two days of NATO meetings that coincide with the military alliance's 70th anniversary.

    The election is in November next year.

    "I have no deadline, no. ... In some ways I think it is better to wait until after the election, if you want to know the truth," Trump said when pressed about whether he had a deadline for the deal that, while it is being worked out, has seen the U.S. and China impose billions of dollars of tariffs on each other's goods since 2018.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...on/2594157001/


    ------------------------------------------------------

    He had no clue what he was getting into, and no idea how to get out of it. They have decided to run out the clock. As the election nears, fewer and fewer will want to deal with him. He is a lame duck, last year president that no one thinks will be around after the election.

    Is Trump still handing out welfare to soy farmers? China already punked Trump once with soy beans, Trump slapped a tariff on soy beans then China decided to buy soy beans from Brazilian farmers instead of American farmers.

    Pretty much.

    Bankruptcies have reached record levels, even so. Most of the bailout money is going to huge corporate farms.

    Reaction to the tarriffs was that China put a huge effort into more efficient methods of feeding that, when fully implemented avoid 25% of what they currently consume, permanently reducing their overall demand per pound of pork produced. (most soy in China is used to feed animals).

    Trumps defenders here said that "demand would just shift elsewhere" and grew remarkably silent when it didn't pan out.

    Trash then punished Brazil and Argentina with tariffs on steel and aluminum for selling ag products to China that Trash won't.

    Half their pig population has died of Swine Fever. Dead pigs don't eat soybeans.

    Even worse for US farmers, since the demand has gone down faster on the short term. Long term "demand destruction" is what they were aiming for, so this suits them.

    Do you think Trump's mania for tariffs is improving things for the USA?

    If so, how so?

    I never said that. I said it was good bump material. Like in December next year if Trump is still Potus... bump.

    These kinds of threads that make predictions often make good bump material.

    Ah yes, predictions make such a target rich environment for rigorous fence-sitters like you.

    Have you developed a sideways groove in your ass, DMC?
