Doesn't understand "art of the deal".

starts with literacy

Are you incapable of letting a thread be cordial?

Jaco808 didn't insult you or anyone here, you made it personal against him. I thought you commented to add something useful to conversations.

Why do you care what anyone says to someone else, Mr. Butt Inski? 

You just want to start an argument, even when nobody is directing their comments to you. 

As usual, you have nothing useful to offer.  I guess Jaco can't stand up for himself, so it's up to you to argue for him?  Or, are you two just a couple of tag-teaming trolls here to disrupt and argue?

Deal reached with the UK. But OP will find a reason why it's bad.

Libs: Trump can't do that.

Trump: Does it.

Libs: 

Chuck Shummer tweeted how this deal will cost tax payers lots of money.

All coming from the guy who voted to send $200 billion to Ukraine already.

Just pointing out how it is you who take these arguments to the mud uselessly despite your claims otherwise.

Just pointing out how you didn't dispute a single thing i said.  All you did was attempt to start another argument with me when it has nothing to do with you.

Too late to dispute my statements now.  You've already lost.

Haven't read it all yet, but looks like our tariff SME was wrong again.

China makes deal with the USA.  The Swiss helped, which shows that the "supreme leader, king, god, etc..." Trump can seek outside assistance for help.

From CNN -- the most trusted name in news (for most Liberal Democrats).  Funny how they can't stop themselves from editorializing on every step of the negotiations as if just reporting the facts isn't ever good enough for them.

Parts of their 'report' remind me of The Ten Commandments, where no matter what Moses did to prove "his" God was the true God, there were those who cast a light of failure to weaken his support and gain power themselves.

How Trump managed to get his
much-needed China trade victory

President Donald Trump’s shock-and-awe tariff approach threatened to rupture
the global financial system and drive the US economy into recession. Nervous
about the prospect of empty store shelves and reignited inflation, Trump sent in
his even-keeled and professional negotiators to Geneva to snag a win.

The unexpectedly dramatic de-escalation with China laid the groundwork for a
growing series of trade negotiations that may produce a handful of rapid-fire, if
less than fulsome, bilateral agreements to reduce US trade deficits.

“We actually have a fresh start with China,” National Economic Council Director
Kevin Hassett said in an interview on CNN News Central. “That’s the way to think
about these negotiations.”

The decision by both the United States and China to drop stratospheric tariffs by
115 percentage points at the conclusion of two days of talks marked the most
significant development in a policy approach that has been equal parts maximalist
and messy. The de facto trade embargo between the world’s two largest economies
had produced domestic and global economic pressure that appeared on the brink
of calamity.

The de-escalation sent markets soaring across the world Monday, as it shed light
on a Trump administration’s strategy to maintain significantly higher tariffs while
incentivizing its largest trading partners to come to the table with offers.

Why would I need to dispute something you said you prove you can't help but taking conversations to the mud? The accuracy of your statement is irrelevant to the way you respond to someone. 

And no, I am not saying you are right here either. Trade imbalance doesn't need to be undone, I just didn't bother to comment because I agreed with your comment that there would be growing pains. Nice whataboutism attempt though, almost missed it.

The whole point wasn't to defeat your argument though, it was a simple reminder/suggestion that you keep conversations cordial. What you do with this suggestion is up to you.

Didn't watch as OP"s track record of being wrong and posting wrong info is high.
