That is a bunch of BS. Bessent has been a huge disappointment this week. China is not going to take this shite seriously. Bessent is caving to his Wall Street buddies and as a result caving to the Chinese Commies

China will infact draw this out as long as they can. Need to make a complete pause on trade with them to get it done.

"Bessent: I do not have time frame for start of China talks, they will have to take place at lower levels than Trump & Xi.

No unilateral offer from Trump to cut China tariffs.

China situation needs to be de-escalated for trade discussions to proceed.

Deal could take 2-3 years."

Correct. And Bessent knows this will not work which is exactly what Wall Street wants. They want to continue the status quo that got us into this bad situation with China

Dude you are over the top again. You are extremely reactionary on news and you literally don't know what is going on behind the scenes and you are inserting things as facts when no facts have been given by the admin.

Basically what I just stated in another thread regarding the Epstein files. Folks view these things as if it's a sit com episode where whatever crime or circumstance is discovered and dealt with in an hour.

I am actually not. Bessent has performed a drastic 180 from "Wall Street had a good 4 decades now it is Main Streets turn" The market sold off 1k points on Monday and the next day Bessent is calling for De-escalation with China. China is laughing their arse off at this weak arse behavior and now knows Bessent and Wall Street have no tolerance for short term pain for long term gain. Caving to the Chinese Commies is disgusting but if you support that then carry on. Bessent looks like he is trying to slow walk this Trade deal so in the end nothing happens which is exactly what Wall Street and the establishment wants

It is EXACTLY what he said several days ago, as was noted here ( The timeline to a deal in Bessent's opinion ... as much as 2-3yrs. That's the cave?).

Bessent knows damn well you will not put pressure on China with a 2-3 year negotiating period. They will correctly see that Bessent is trying to run out the clock on Trump's term so the status quo can continue like his Wall Street buddies are asking him to do.

I want full quotes.


Not someone saying someone said something.


Just like what happened when someone takes one line from a 20 minute trump speech to make it seem like he said something he didn't.

I'm waiting for you to link what Bessent actually said.


I haven't found anything other than him saying rebalancing trade can take 2-3 years.



And? Did you think it would happen overnight?

No you don't. You want to stick your head in the sand and hear what you want to hear. That quote by Bessent is posted by hundreds of news organizations on Twitter. It's why the stock market lost 50% of its gains after his quote. So in the past 2 days, Bessent said:

"2 to 3 years" for a trade deal with China

Which he just yesterday called "unstustainable"

China has us bent over a barrell, now that they know Bessent is beholden to Wall Street

My nephew is on the India trip with Vance - that trip was scheduled before the inauguration. If you think these things arent planned out and mapped out months and even years ahead you are falling for the theatre - very smart people are working behind the scenes - if you get caught up in the day to day drama you are missing the big picture and falling into the msm trap.

Relax and enjoy the best administration ever at work
