After Trump suggests 'second thoughts,' White House says he regrets not escalating China trade war further

But since arriving, Trump has sought to paint a picture of unity and blamed the media for suggesting there would be tensions during this year’s gathering.“The Leaders are getting along very well, and our Country, economically, is doing great - the talk of the world!”

"I think it is a work in progress, we have a number of people who would like to see Russia back," Trump said during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trump then turned to Abe, who disagreed, saying it was a clear violation of United Nations resolutions. While Trump wouldn't go as far, he insisted both leaders were in alignment.

Crazy talk =realDonaldTrump RudyGiuliani propagandist

Looking like old habits are hard to break

Trump doesn’t fit in with these leaders from other countries because he is a moron and not intelligent.

To suggest this man has any thoughts at all is ridiculous, let alone second ones.

'Third thoughts', with fourth, fifth and sixth out by the end of the day.....

'I'll have the salmon. No, on second thought I'll have the burger. No, I'll have the salmon burger. On second thought...' Says the Decider in Chief.

Are you really that obtuse? It is clear, what realDonaldTrump was really saying is, 'what a stupid question'. The question is like asking the winning Masters Champion, 'did you know that putt on 18 was going in'.

Does the right hand know what the left is doing in this admin? Woe...we are doomed...expect a speedy downhill stock market ride tomorrow...curses on the stupids who voted him in

Of course. They are politicians and world leaders. They measure their words against the consequences. Can play nicely in the sandbox even when they disagree.

👀🙄

He is a coward when meeting face to face.

Watching Kudlow trying to walk it back on CNNSotu Looks like Trump is just the puppet

Everyone is getting along except not when he's around.

Trump ha put the 'I' in Trade ; Tirade TradeWar G7Summit China TrumpTradeWar TrumpRecession

What do the world leaders say?

the G-7 club, is a club of fools. just imagine these idiots in one room

Reasonable explanation for the wiffle-waffling of our highly esteemed president: Putin changed his mind.

Of course they want to do business with you right now. You are having a rummage sale with all excess American farm goods, and other stockpiled products. Are you going to compensate American producers for selling goods for Pennys on the Dollar?

That’s ok. I wanted to retire with $2 left in my 401K.

The less you talk the happier they are.

Practically each and every time realDonaldTrump says anything, I’m compelled to say; WTF!!!!

What if this works? China is en route to be the global leader and they will force their brand of capitalism: slavery!

Instead of speaking to the people at the table he spends more time talking over his shoulder to reporters but they so called fake enemies

Did you tell them about? Trump Magazine Trump Vodka Trump Airlines Trump Steaks Trump Water Trump Mortgage Trump Travel Trump The Game Trump Casinos Trump University Trump Foundation

So out of his element!

Sounds like trump is finally figuring out he’s a loser. When it comes to running anything that requires having intelligence

So then isn't the story and headline that Trump is contradicting his own WH. Shouldn't the headline literally read: 'Trump Immediately Contradicts Own White House.' This headline is NBCPolitics saying: 'Today, Trump said this, then these people said that.'

News reporter Trump

idiot

I don't even believe he had first thoughts.

Another Gaffe DumpTheOrange

Idiot.

Long overdue.

yes he said that, and I believe he meant it, but his WH handlers scrambled to say that he actually meant that he should have taxed China at a HIGHER rate.

The WH is in scrambling mode 24-7.

No evidence provided of first thoughts, let alone second thoughts.

We regret not escalating impeachment proceedings.

He’s such a buffoon.

White House Says Trump Regrets Not Raising Tariffs HigherThe White House doubled down on President Trump’s commitment to the U.S. trade war with China after the president appeared to show a glimmer of regret about escalating trade tensions at the Group of Seven summit. This chain of events was predicted by slickenteur months ago and this Kashmir situation also unfolded as she predicted. Must follow her, she does brilliant political and analysis. To me it looks like we are back at the cold war brinkmanship game played this time with customs tariffs. good thing they are not playing it with nuclear arsenals. at least not for now.
