Pro-CCP sites like “Bastille Post Global” are producing a narrative around the recent U.S.-China tariff deal that suggests world leaders should reconsider moving too fast to concede to Trump’s demands on tariffs given China’s “success” in bringing Trump’s initial tariffs to heel with counter-tariffs of their own.
Anonymous analyst “Deep Throat” writes: “The initial breakthrough in US–China trade negotiations has set a precedent, with China’s unwavering stance in the face of Trump’s so-called ‘reciprocal tariffs’ policy serving as a model for other countries in their own tariff talks with the US. China had refused to yield throughout the process and maintained a ‘not backing down’ posture.”
Watch for China’s continued pressure to create a world coalition response to Trump’s tariff actions. It remains to be seen if China’s spin on this deal will look like anything more than bluster. China initially claimed it would not negotiate at all with Trump and would not lower any of its pre-Trump tariff levels, yet ended up doing both in this same deal its trying to spin as a defeat for Trump.
The tables can be turned on China, as other nations might look at what the U.S. has done to bring China to heel, at least in part, and choose to do the same. If Trump were wise, he would be pushing for an anti-China-tariff response from the many nations currently being hammered by Xi’s policies.
President Donald Trump allowed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to field a question from a member of the DNC Criminal media about Trump’s “unfounded” claims of white genocide in his country. Ramaphosa denied all claims, then was met by documents and videos revealing the white genocide is real and his own party called for the white farmer to be murdered.
Trump began his assault with this statement: “We have thousands of stories, talking about it, we have documentaries, we have news stories, and that… Is Natalie here? Is somebody here to turn that? I could show you a couple of things, and I would just… It has to be responded to. Let me see the articles please, if you would, and… excuse me, turn the lights down, turn the lights down and just put this on. It’s right behind you.”
It appears the predictability of the DNC Criminal Media allowed the Trump administration opportunity to set the trap the South African President and his Progressive media allows walked right into.

President Trump is not your average politician. One of the things that sets him apart from almost all of his predecessors is that he’s not a politician, and he doesn’t tap-dance around sensitive issues, like the treatment of Boers (white farmers) in South Africa. In fact, during Wednesday’s Oval Office visit with the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, the South African leader faced more than a few uncomfortable moments – and that’s not a bad thing.
The American government has accepted a small group of Boer farmers as refugees into the United States; these are people who, in South Africa, were facing the prospect of having their lands stolen. They were facing murder. These families, we should note, have in many cases been in South Africa for hundreds of years, and they grow many of the crops that feed South Africans of all races.
During that visit, President Trump gobsmacked President Ramaphosa with a video of political rallies in South Africa, including chants of “Kill the Boer.” Townhall has the shocking video on their X account:

Former FBI Director sent out a not-so-veiled signal to far-left progressive terrorists to continue their efforts to assassinate Donald Trump by posting a picture on social media that said, in seashells on a beach, “86 47.” Response from the DNC criminal media incudes headlines like this from the Boston Globe – “James Comey calls controversy over Instagram post ‘a bit of a distraction’.”

Excerpt:
Former FBI director James Comey says that he’s still a bit bewildered over how a seemingly innocent Instagram shot of shells arranged in the sand led to allegations by Donald Trump among others that he was calling for the president’s assassination and to an interview with the Secret Service.
“It’s been a bit of a distraction, honestly,” Comey said with a weary laugh Monday night during an appearance at a Barnes & Noble on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
Comey was promoting “FDR Drive,” a crime novel coming out this week. One of the book’s themes, ironically, is weighing the potential of speech to incite others to violence.
Comey, whom Trump fired in 2017 amid an FBI investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trump’s first presidential campaign, explained Monday that he and his wife, Patrice, had been returning from a walk on the beach last Thursday when they came upon some shells organized in a way that resembled numbers, including “86.”
They speculated over whether it was a home address, or a political message. His wife noted that “86” in some restaurants means they had run out of an ingredient. Comey remembered it was slang for saying something was boring and should be “ditched.”
“And she said, ‘You should take a picture of it.’ So I took a picture of it, and then we walk home and she said, ‘You should really put that on Instagram. It’s kind of a cool thing.’ I said, ‘You’re right. It’s a cool thing,’” he explained.
To many viewers, the numbers seemed to spell out 86 and 47. Merriam-Webster, the dictionary used by The Associated Press, says 86 is slang meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of” or “to refuse service to.” It notes: “Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of ’to kill.’”
