Trump is back in defilade while he pretends to be leading the charge. [View all]

The rest of the world has told him to fuck right off, so he "suspended" the tariffs on everybody but China for 90 days. Of course he raised the China tariffs to avoid losing face (although why he wouldn't want to lose that ugly orange face is beyond me), but China is unlikely to budge, since it doesn't want to lose face either, and Xi doesn't have to worry about midterms. Fact is, though, he blinked, no matter how he and Baghdad Barbie try to spin it.
