      From other headlines it’s possible they meant 80%. Yes I know. No, there really aren’t other options.

      Now that you mention it, this could be a translation error. Like the original word meant “divide” or “slash” and it was mistranslated as “halve”.

    And China didn’t even need to negotiate with him for it. He’s doing this all on his own, just to get them to start taking his calls.

    I don’t think anyone to depend on trade with a nation as unstable as this. Could it be that Trump has dementia?

      His father did have Alzheimer’s, it run the family, and it is also linked to a poor diet.

      Also remember when trump didn’t have a series of mini strokes?

      Also remember when trump looked like he had mini strokes mid rally several times,?
