trump has to do negotiations with (currently 75 willing countries), which takes time..
however he wants an answer from china now

so knowing its going to take upto 90 days to get through the current 75 countries negotiations he has done them a favour by not forcing them into the new deal before they can negotiate..

however again trump wants china to come to the negotiation table now, not in upto 90 days

You are the king of childish responses. "He" is not going to be in 75 negotiations, there will be a few teams in each region that will do something that they could have done anyway without having to cause a market caos, scare investment and create a problem for everyone. This is what happens when you get a text-book narcissist in a government.

China has started their own "negotiating agenda" - they are a super-sized manufacturer of the cheap products the poor people in US need and have plenty of leverage. Trump should know that the first step to win is choosing your battles.
