Anyone who thinks this 90-day econ ceasefire with China is some kind of win for Trump is living in a dream world. It's just more concrete evidence that he's a lunatic who swam unhinged off into the deep end, and when his swimming muscles became exhausted, he waved his arms and signaled for rescue. Has he learned anything at all from this self-inflicted chaos, and been humbled to contrition? We seriously doubt it because he's not a man of modesty to begin with.
Even with this 90-day econ ceasefire, enormous damage has been done to the transactional daily U.S. economy and to the American brand as seen worldwide. Ironically, while Bessent may hope this turnabout may revive the spirits of a dazed American populace, it has the downside effect of pouring salt in the wound for Wall Street, and American Corporations. It just bounces the ball of instability and unpredictability further around the court.
Details are lacking at this time, but at first thought, one would conjecture that in Switzerland, China gave very little, if anything, to get a pause deal. Because the U.S. was the side primarily "on the spot" and needing to pull a rabbit out of the hat before public outcry swelled to a cacophonous level. The U.S. needed an excuse to eat crow and roll back the madness. The excuse was an opportunistic huddle.
And even still, the American consumer is a loser in this pause game because they will be hit with the impact of a 30 percent across-the-board tariff pressure on prices. THIRTY PERCENT. -- https://youtu.be/uW7J3CVVZW8?t=10 -- So this is hardly a win; it's just a tourniquet for Trump's image and a ride to an urgent care center. What to watch --is what happens in the next 18 days (if a real and resolving "deal" is forthcoming, it will come fast. Because both sides need it, like yesterday). If no major agreement rapidly supplants this econ ceasefire, little has been achieved except an ambulance ride.
After all is said and puff-pieced ... this "agreement" is nothing more than an agreement to talk and negotiate. Whether further negotiation will produce a sensible resolution is yet to be seen, and as something to bet on, with Trump in the Oval, an optimistic/Pollyanna bet would be tantamount to a Hail Mary pass. DJT is no longer a rational person, and short of legally removing him from office, what he'll change his mind to next is as random as a pinball machine.
There's nothing short of mental derangement, a psychiatric malady, that would enable or encourage a man in his position to do what he's doing to our country; the sheer madness of it and the severe harm being caused nationwide. Mr. Trump is clinically insane and needs to be legally removed from office by Congress, with maximum speed.
This "thing" has been widely (scientifically) discredited and literally hundreds of ppl have communicated with DJT over time denouncing this "thing" as bad. Yet he still wants to glorify it, AND IN HIS OWN NAME, no less.

Habeas corpus is a legal principle, often referred to as "the Great Writ," that protects individuals from unlawful detention or imprisonment. It allows a person in custody to challenge the legality of their confinement before a court. The core idea is to ensure that an individual is not held without a legal basis.
Look at Miller's facial tension and listen to his tense and unhinged tone of voice. Stephen is a whole other topic, but clearly he can at minimum be called.. A mentally twisted, hysterically sociopathic, zio-fascist zealot.
