trump clearly got some deal from the chinese

also, this is probably not going to be the only time trump is criticized for going the peaceful route

:lol:

Yeah, clearly.

Clearly Trump got dealt by the Chinese, and kissed ass accordingly.  Most men as blustery as he are cowards like he is. 

It is gonna suck to be Mattis and see Trump back down in a funk on something Mattis thinks he should go to the mattresses on like freedom of navigation, only to suddenly find himself at war with a country whose leader merely observed that Trump had stubby fingers.

I suspect that this isn't the first time you could say "Trump came crawling when Xi beckoned."

And how. Not only did he take Xi's cock up his ass, he turned right around and went full ATM before the facial.  Gack.

china won't mess with trump's america in any substantial way, because why risk him throwing america at them? they'll probably test the waters in unsubstantial ways to see how committed he is, and when he uses a sledgehammer to swat them away, they'll know he's the Real Deal not to be messed with

PRC has figured out what corporate America figured out - Trump can be played as long as you don't publically humiliate him.  Nordstrom stock actually traded up on the tweet day.  The market has already priced in that the bark has no bite.

I agree with that.  He is playing 3D chess here.  Unfortunately he doesn't know what the pieces do, or what the rules of the game are, or what "chess" is.  He keeps asking Flynn why no salt is coming out of the white king, and why no pepper out of the black king.

The PRC is quite content now:  they have seen Trump reverse himself just by ignoring him, so they know that not only is he a blowhard, he is a fraud. 
And because they now expect him to play to script, they will proceed accordingly.  And then, when Trump goes off script because he doesn't conform to the concepts of graduated pressure and since the Chinese don't do brinksmanhip, that's when the shooting starts.
