Trump keeps winning

From the article.First paragraph even-
Beijing (AFP) - Washington and Beijing have agreed to abandon any trade war and back off from imposing tariffs on each other, Chinese state media reported Sunday.
Soooo... Trump completely backs down from tariffs he initiated and Trump is winning?
Yup, and all it took was the Chinese giving Eric Jr $500 million.
Of course it is! No tariffs. He got their attention and they backed down. Winning.
We aren’t punishing ZTE and we aren’t going to impose tariffs on China.
What are we getting? Do we each get $500 million or is that just Trump?

China came to the table to negotiate after Trump threatened tariffs, now they have agreed to stop it and work out the issues. When was the last time that happened in regards to trade. The last 4 Presidents didn't do anything and China kept bending the US over. I call that a win in my book, but again I don't have anti trump hysteria running through my veins
An earlier joint statement issued in Washington said Beijing would "significantly" increase its purchases of American goods, but offered few details.
China backs down.
Trump backs down.
We are back where we started.
Nothing was accomplished.
What about Trump agreeing to not impose tariffs? We are starting from zero again.
“But offered few details” should be Trump’s epitaph.

Whatever. You Iowans are going to be able to sell your corn and soybeans, now. You should be happy.
He started the trade war, but accomplished none of the goals. Again how is this winning?
The story implies all of the tariffs that were announced in the past month or so.
But it's YahooNews so it's short on details.
So the entirety of the unfair tariffs from before Trumps actions are still in effect.
Don't know from this story, but the story does say they're going to buy more American products. So, that's a win.
Holy Christ, man. You just admitted that we're back to where we were before this stupid trade war.
No, the story says the Chinese committed to significantly increasing the purchases of U.S. products. Try to keep up.
My orders to Korea have doubled in the last few months, I have orders to go to Shanghai, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Chile, Singapore, Italy, and Canada.
Now Trump has nothing to do with any of this, but after 8 months of 50 to 60 hour weeks, I could use a little trade war right now.

This sounds like it has nothing to do with Trump but simple math of a growing Chinese population:
"To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services."
Right, that’s how fast growing economies work. That’s why US exports to China were up 80% during Obama’s administration, and 10% last year.
It also looks like Trump will allow China to continue stealing our intellectual property which was the big issue, anyway.
This is performance art from Trad, just sit back and enjoy it.
When was the last time China made concessions on trade with the US?
We always were. Trump was always going to back down like the coward that he is. Never mind that he bankrupted some farmers in the process. And forget how much he and his buddies will profit.
Backed down from what? Not giving the Trumps $500 million? How can you not see the corruption in that?
Protip: He just did.
Who owes me $50 now???
Um even the Joker who isn’t exactly conservative agrees this is a step in the right direction. He threatened tariffs and China is coming to the table to talk trade. Why is that so hard for you to understand
Protip: He just did.

Ha Trump never backs down pal. That's why Mexico is building that wall just as promised.
