It sounds very convincing.

What is in it for the United States if they are backing away from all of this lengthy, years-long diplomacy that has been executed over the years?

What do they get from that?

Are they not, in fact, just handing a giant gift to the Chinese?

So you and I actually talked when President Biden met with President Xi in a historical meeting back in November 2023.

And that was the first time that President Xi had been to the US in six years.

This is maybe a really stupid question, but is there any chance that officials might somehow engineer a meeting between President Trump and President Xi anytime soon?

So what is the next milestone that we should be looking for here?

Is it July when the tariffs come up for re-examination?

Especially with China, what is the next milestone that we should be looking at?

But what's so interesting is that we've already seen the polls going down.

The favorability rating for Trump is already going down, and that is before these costs have really impacted the voters.

The voters are really having this sense or are about to have this sense of, wait, this is impacting me.

If they're a Trump voter, maybe they really like some of his policies, but people are having that, wait, the leopard eating my face moment of like, wait, this is actually really negatively impacting

So it seems to me that those polls are going to plummet yet further.

And we know that Trump really likes polls and he really likes to do well in them.

So again, sorry for like stupid questions, but what is he doing?

Why is he prepared to tolerate this negative opinion?

Indeed, we will.

All right.
