Indeed
"President Donald Trump said Wednesday that there are direct talks between the US and China “every day” as the two countries negotiate on trade.

“Yeah, of course, every day,” the president said when asked about direct contact between the US and China."



"Any claims about the progress of China-US economic and trade negotiations are groundless and have no factual basis," Commerce Ministry spokesman He Yadong told a news conference.

"



I know who I believe.

If trump were serious in his belief that he had a great personal relationship with Xi, then don't you think trump would have announced that they had held a long friendly and constructive phone call? He'd just have to announce it.

Xi is ghosting him
China is ghosting his 'team'

And it's driving him nuts.

drumph continues to claim that a Ukraine peace deal is close.

Yet all that we see, so far is a list of capitulation demands on Ukraine.

There's absolutely no chance that the current peace plan will be acceptable to Ukraine EVEN IF it's acceptable to Putin

It would be illegal for Zelenskyy to agree to concede Crimea. He quite simply cannot sign a deal conceding that without a change in Ukrainian Constitution. Such change could not possibly happen without a referendum..... An impossible referendum in a nation where 20% of the country is in enemy hands.

I get that a deal IS not close and that drumph is talking nonsense. What I don't get is why is drumph proclaiming this lie at this time? Who is he trying to fool? What's his game plan? Is it really an effective way to lay blame on Zelensky as he walks away in failure. When no deal is agreed, will drumph still have the brass neck to claim that he came up with a great deal, as he'd promised, if only..... ?

Donald Trump went after Fox News today after its latest poll showed him 11 points underwater in job approval.

Despite the presence of a friendly slate of opinion hosts on Fox News, the president has lashed out over its polls, which are done under the direction of the Democratic firm Beacon Research and the Republican firm Shaw & Company.

The poll results showed that 44% approved of Trump’s job performance, and 55% disapproved. It’s in line with a series of other survey results in recent days, as the president nears the 100-day mark.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so. This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he's at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

Wow wow wow, you really got Senator Cotton good. LOL LOL

Did you actually read the article you linked to? I sincerely doubt it.

From your article:
Quote:
Cotton, however, has a history of voting against disaster relief for other states.
."I don't think Arkansas needs to bail out the Northeast," Cotton said in the aftermath of 2013's Hurricane Sandy.

Wow, your stupid article provided ONE example from 12 years ago when Senator Cotton voted against disaster relief.

You really ought to stop following left wing loser sources.

I don't get Trumper supporters. Leticia James convict her if you can. Said the same things about Biden. Good riddance when they got Senator Bob Menedez.

Same with anyone else on either side.

BTW, this came out on James.

China has a new strategy in the tariff war - they are now selling directly to Americans bypassing American retailers

it's created a sensation online at TikTok and elsewhere

And there is a new trend in America due to fear of a recession: a "No Buy" movement - see also "Low Buy" and "Slow Buy"

Score in the tariff war: China about 10__________Trump - Zero

She was convicted in 2024. Hadn't even gone to prison yet.

"Trump pardons Nevada Republican Michele Fiore convicted of fraud"

In 2014, she raised tens of thousands of dollars through a charity and political action committee for a statue honoring Metropolitan Police Department officer Alyn Beck, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. In 2024, Fiore was found guilty of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud after she used the money raised for the memorial for plastic surgery, rent, and payments on her daughter’s wedding. She was suspended in July 2024 from her position as justice court judge in Nye County after her conviction.

Nevada Judge Jennifer Dorsey wrote in her opinion that ‘not a dime’ of the money raised was used for a memorial. ‘Instead, each check was quickly converted to cash and spent on Fiore’s expenses like rent, cosmetic procedures, and her daughter’s wedding,’ Dorsey wrote. Fiore’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing a pardon granted by President Trump on April 23, 2025."

So? Your boy Biden pardoned people not even charged yet.
