Trump for the first time showed a glimmer of regret about escalating the U.S. trade war with China

BIARRITZ, France—President , after meeting with world leaders at the Group of Seven summit here who have largely decried his trade practices.

Asked during a breakfast with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson whether he had any second thoughts about ramping up the trade war with the announcement of increased tariffs last week in response to new levies from Beijing, Mr. Trump told reporters: “Yeah, sure. Why not?” Pressed further,...

Nice lead in. Even though the “regret” was not implementing the tariffs sooner.

Why do so many people care about one speech from a person who can change his mind every minute?

Lock up this planet destroyer. Whatever he touches is destroyed or rendered useless

What?Regrets not raising tariffs higher

你们美国人怎么选了这么一个疯老头当总统?

Bullshit! WSJ = Fakenews

Sure he did !

He knows if he pisses off the business community he’s done.

The lack of Real World Knowledge, that Trump is showing, means he has no clue as to what damage he is causing.

Basic sense is right next to basic decency among the deficiencies of this president. He is there because we have so many among us who are like him. Their advantage is they are not impeded by conscience or morality.

Vote him OUT!

There’s nothing wrong with trying to trade war and it’s totally justified

No way...Obama did fuck all....yes we can....lol

We should let china continue screwing us year after year.

Why would trump have any regrets of escalating the trade war. When the US is pulling in billions of dollars from it.

Wait I thought it was the media and the head of the Feds fault. And we are pulling in billions of dollars from the tariffs.

Perhaps he has regret it came to this but I am sure he blames China. Shouldn’t we hold them to account. After all hasn’t the media said for years they will be the number one economic power in short order.

?

Did they read their own fcking story?

And you fell for faked emotions

Xcept if he buys it, he will turn it into a giant failing casino.

贸易战就是美国发起的,美国不用遗憾中方会强势反击。

This is psy-ops. In contrary WH announced that they are not going to rollback. The Wall Street greed is what China is betting that it will force Trump to back off. Infact this is what China always used as cover for their unfair trade practices. Hope this President is different.

HeathMayo And then the WH promptly walked it back.

Fake news

Don’t place a bet on this

FakeNews realDonaldTrump China USA TradeWar

If you people could read this isn’t Hope he just wish he slapped them harder smh fake news.......

Give him 10 seconds... The man is Demented, Unstable, Dangerous. REMOVE HIM or the World Suffers. NAPOLEON was Saner and didn't he just claim he was 'Christ Returned?'

What a dotard What a dotard What a dotard

Americans regrets realDonaldTrump in the White House. He told us he and he alone could fix things. He said he would unite us and that we’d be tired from winning. Trade policy: China increased its trade surplus with USA while farmers lose - and that is wrong. VoteBlue2020

To late

Has the trade war become too easy?

It doesn’t mean he is admitting that tariffs are hurting consumers or farmers, it means that his advisors are telling him the truth and some minute portion of this is getting through.

I don’t understand how these erudite, grown ass men sit around realDonaldTrump and pretend it’s all okay. History will not be kind to these spineless, opportunistic twits that sold out their people and country for this disaster of a human being.

🤣 .... nonsense

maybe he's == very slowly == grasping the stone cold fact that he is singlehandedly destroying the US economy.

I'm sure it's part of a plan

He maybe finally found out about China’s trade surplus with US at 3 119 billion USD which gives them plenty of space in devaluating juän whatever they like...

The whole world is suffering from the trade war, this guy is so incoherent, mentally unsound, I can understand lots of Americans regret electing him as president. Can’t wait for him to step down.

What he really said? realDonaldTrump :I have second thought on eve.

5 times bankruptcy ain't no match for the Xi.

He will take it as a compliment to have the Trump Worldwide Recession. While Navarro is there he will not change. Well done to China for playing a blinder

too late. he is shit. 🤮

it's the best time to defeat China please don't stop

China is running circles around Trump.

This is the notorious, and famously useless, “Good Trump.” Once he gets back to the states and his meds get out of whack again, it will be promptly replaced by “Bad Trump” which will undermine and cancel out everything said at the G7. Don’t fall for this threadbare act again.

Don’t let the communists of the hook POTUS . china wants to dominate the world.

Tomorrow he be back on the bandwagon for the trade wars—he NEVER knows what he’s going to do!!!! He’s despicable!!!!!

Too late. We’re screwed.

The reality is this administration is bush league. Everything is virtually a disaster from the Justice Dept. who is appalled over a criminal’s death, but is relatively quiet about white supremacy. A lap dog sec of state. A lying Pres. A wall that needs Home Depot.

Yeah, 'cause he getting his ass kicked. Badly.

TrumpRegret is not like an Oxymoron?

Nah, just Trump talk.

It’s too late for the farmers

是后悔不是遗憾

the wsj had to reach for that one, yeah sure from trump does not rise to a glimmer.

What China done is taking countermeasure, never wanna launch a trade war.Hope the peace,prosperities will come soon

後悔??今さら

Fake news

It's perhaps because he realized that he has (actually) taken on MORE than China. He has taken on Chinese communism, communism and globalism.

kuku27 he must have realised the effects causing damage to his people

Why? Not as easy as he thought? Kind of like health care. Can’t waytill he discovers diplomacy isn’t as easy as he thinks either. 😬

Chinese water torture

If he really does regret, it is time to talk. But no one trusts him now. That is really challenge for trade talk!

I guess I should revise my December 6, 2016 Tweet to say: What he's doing …

Trade wars are easy to win

HeathMayo So much winning! I can’t take any more winning! Stop the winning!

Trump in 🇺🇸 at MAGA rally.. I’m the chosen one to take China on and pounds his chest. Trump overseas at the G7Summit I’m sorry will someone please talking me besides Borris Johnson.

It was indigestion from eating real food and not McDonald's.

No one on his right mind can claim this after watching the video. Trump was laughing and answering questions generically. It's astonishing to watch the media out of control, slaves to their preconceived narratives, fabricating 'news' out of thin air.

It is easier for us to discover flaws in a person, state or any entity than realize their importance and value.

Potus45 is incoherent, uninformed, misinformed and dangerous. SEC should investigate front running tweets. potusbrainfarts

There are more and more stories from people who regret voting for him. He's never tried to expand his base, and he's losing part of it. I see his reality show presidency ending in 2020.

Wait for it... wait for it... back to beginning

The sad part is that North America is not longer in the position of demanding without giving back! People we must remember that from a business point of view: the “Planet is Flat” we must learn to be flexible in order to get back on top of global business. Respectfully

Nah... He never regrets anything. Or would never admit to regretting anything in an accountable way. Promise: When he's asked to explain this he'll say something escalating like he regrets not going harder.

Many media members keep say how China is hurting more than the USA in the trade war. This doesn't make sense because China is not beholden to it's people. It is an Communist country the markets have been manipulated for decades and they can take large hits even at the expense of

Not possible, Trump's regrets are fake.

Idiot!

It is good to know he has 'second thoughts'. When he starts having sane First thoughts, that will be news.

Yea

Trump this week: King of Israel, the chosen one, China trade warBecause prior to this week he was normal. Hes not very Presidential, which is embarrassing. Theres less drama on televised wrestling than Trump's one man show of complete jibberish and Twitter ranting He is an absolute embarrassment to the US. Republican, Democrat, and anything in between. It's beyond awful the mockery he is making of the office, our country and the great people in America.
