It's quite lovely how you rant about media misinformation and then parrot white house and right wing media talking points with no thought whatsoever, all on the same page here.

By no means ever try to ask yourself, which countries are coming and what they're signing and why would they sign anything, let alone anything beneficial to the US when they can clearly see Trump caving as soon as someone tells him that bond selloff is a bad thing... a much better option is to talk to China or Japan,

well if you read

you missed many things AS USUAL
its about countries COMING TO THE US's NEGOTIATING TABLE and meet with the US cabinet and other departments, which trump also wants to be in the room for

south korea was already on a plane yesterday, as was japan. italy will visit next week
and a schedule being set up for the rest

its not about both side just agreeing on a number. its about the other countries coming up with unique deals of things that might interest trump.

"tailored tariff deals"
their message to foreign counterparts seems simple: If they have a unique card to play, they should.

Ideas being discussed run the gamut, and include possible action on securing the freedom of Americans wrongfully detained abroad, committing to working with US artificial intelligence companies, buying more US energy or combatting global drug trafficking, according to five people familiar with the brainstorming sessions.

i did infact say which countries are first inline of negotiations.. and what they are going to be offering or bringing to the table.. (its not just a number)

china dumping US bonds bad?
ha.. you do know that now china dont have as many hands on the US now
and as said japan is coming to the negotiation table

and i have not nor ever have just repeated a media puff piece like a zombie puppet
im not the one that is misunderstanding things based on a bias..
im not even american. so my mind isnt about supporting dem or rep.. my mind is about looking behind the clickbait, looking beyond the headlines and looking at the detail beneath

YOU seem to have pre-chosen a side. and now only looking for things that suport the side you chose. you are not interested in finding the fact/detail. you just want to find media pieces that support the side you pre-chosen

you are the one that takes one media story as gospel.. someone corrects you, so you find another media story zombie-sheep repeating the same story. so you think that means it must be true if 2 media outlets say the same thing you prefer.. never realising they are both just copy and pasting stupidity without doing their own investigative journalism..

you need to learn how to do proper research and not just take media's word as gospel

echo chambers are not proof of original story. they are just a circle jerk of each other copying each other
learn how to look beyond the circle jerk, dont just join it
