Dropping Chinese tariffs to 50% before negotiating. So glad he's playing hard ball
 
Nope it's a capitulation. He doesn't need to be negotiating in public.
Oh and he is fine with raising taxes and eleminating the salt deduction he fought for last term

When did he drop the tariffs?

Oh. Wait. He didn’t. Ok.
He is still undermining his argument and negotiating in public when he comes out and says hey tariffs are x and then two weeks later says you no what let's make them y instead

What argument is he undermining?

He hasn’t moved the tariffs lower. They are still as high as they were last week.
 
By showing a willingness to be reasonable before you sit down at the table you are placing your opponent in a position where they also need to be willing to be reasonable or they will take the brunt of the blame for any failure in the negotiation.

It amazes me that a grown azz man that I assume has bought many things in his life doesn’t understand the most basic tactics.

The original tariffs showed him as completely unreasonable. It’s the equivalent of walking into a dealership and seeing a $100,000 car and screaming “I’ll give you $30,000! You need this sale!” Then while they’re staring at you and blinking yelling “Ok $70,000!”

They were high by design.

But, go look and see where they are at what they were and get back with us.
