The Real timschochet 6,539 Posted April 8 Trump wrote on Truth Social that China is “begging for a deal”. But China says they’re not interested. NBC is reporting that it is the White House that is trying to reach out to China imploring them for a way out of this- to no avail. I think Xi can’t agree to Trump’s demands: both he and China would lose so much face that he would be removed from power if he did. So China has to respond the way they are: with more trade war, not less. This is what happens when you treat other countries like vendors you’re trying to avoid paying. Trump has put us in a huge mess here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 421 Posted April 8 3 hours ago, TBayXXXVII said: According to this, your link means that every illegal immigrant that was deported, happened around election time in hopes to get Harris elected. That tells me something different about Biden's stance on illegal immigration than you apparently. To me, this says that Biden was only going deport illegals if it meant an election was coming up... but outside of that, all are welcome. This refers to arrests, not removals. What I posted were removals. The claim by Lyons is about arrests, he's claiming that people were arrested when they were merely processed. Understood. However, what I posted were current (this administration) statistics of removals under the Biden and Trump2 administrations. Btw, as a reminder, this started when it was merely posted that Trump exclaimed we must have open borders, and there isn't even a federal Dem politician who has said such a thing. There's no need to wheel around it, Trump says a bunch of stuff that he is ill-informed on and generally all he wants to do is get the person he is dealing with to do what he wants and he will say anything and everything to do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,004 Posted April 8 Just watched an interview with Brent Neiman an Economist who says WH cited his work for their formula to calculate these genius tariffs.
