China 1, Trump 0

[The Barbarian]

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - With China poised to increase purchases of U.S. agricultural goods this year as part of a Phase 1 China trade deal, the U.S. Agriculture Secretary said on Monday there is no need for a third year of trade-related aid for farmers.

China was well-aware that Trump desperately needed to regain markets in China, and squeezed concessions from him, while none of his demands were met. The Chinese leadership adroitly took advantage of a weak president to once more put the United States at a disadvantage.

The point is, they knew Trump needed them more than they needed him.

And so Trump got none his demands, and they got several of theirs. That was the price they imposed for agreeing to buy our agricultural products again.

Trump is not included in that bunch.

Only in the sense that he's not a successful author. He's had ghost writers do his books, you know.
