"Trump, in a major concession, says the tariff on China should be 80% -- but will leave it up to Bessent"

The Bitch President can't even take responsibility for his own tariffs!
He has to have his Stepin Fetchit boy Bessent take the blame.

This is exactly why NO BUSINESSES will move onshore.

One week it is 145%, next week it is 80%, a week later it may be 0%.

No business is going to spend hundreds of millions to move back to the US because he is a petulant toddler that governs by whims and fancies.

DID SOMEONE SAY 'RARE EARTH ? "

I debated a flat earther once.

he stormed off saying he'd walk to the edge of the earth

to prove me wrong.

I'm sure he'll come around eventually.
