Well they backed their reciprocal tariff down from 125% to 30% also. Not clear whether they’ve backed off the rare earths moratorium. I haven’t heard about it so I’m guessing not.

I mean, concessions as compared to status quo before the world trade war was declared by Trump.

They are bragging that there were none and that they’re the only country being treated as an equal.

Count John Stossel, boomer conservative, in with those who don't think the tariffs are a good idea. The set of people who like them remains limited to Trump and exactly two of his advisors.

I've enjoyed Stossel's segments ever since his "give me a break" segments during 20/20 back in the 90's.

I’ve been reading him at Reason for years.

The importer doesn't like tariffs.

Wow.

Wow.

It's so typical that when you punch someone in the face, they'll just whine about how much it hurt. They have no idea how predictable and tedious that whining is. It happens almost every time someone gets punched in the face.

Copper doesn't like it when people criticise President Trump.

Wow.

Then just throw him an elbow to the head and keep your eye on the play. Works for me.

Better than Pete Rose, and still alive. (The rumor is that Mr. Trump got the ban lifted).

[jon-nyc]

One out of four of those is actually true.

Welcome home, Edan.

[Renauda]

Edan should be thanking Copper. Profusely thanking Copper.

[jon-nyc]

And the Indians and Pakistanis that are suffering from radiation burns from the nuclear conflict they experienced should thank him too. VP Shillbilly and Copper. Both of them.
