We’re still not sure if President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs on every country in the world (even the ones inhabited only by penguins) are a huge mistake or more 4-D chess. With Wednesday’s 90-day pause on tariffs (except for China, which was raised to 125 percent), more than 75 nations have contacted the White House to negotiate trade deals, and Trump is a shrewd negotiator.
What we do know is that liberals like Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov and podcaster Gavin Newsom think that Trump simply caved after seeing the stock market temporarily tank.
Trump caved. Carry on with your day. https://t.co/htkVrrbiCD

He’s literally just doing his book.

Caved in the Democratic Party completely

Opening up a negotiating window while leaving tariffs on China is caving? Jessica, you’re not very bright.

Whatever you need to tell yourself, Jess.

If “caving” means getting others to bend the knee and negotiate then yes. He caved.

I knew it. I knew that would be the line. They are so predictable.
— Mike Rice (@DragonsB4Dems) April 9, 2025
For Newsom, it was the same line, verbatim.
Trump caved.
He will change his mind again.
To our international partners: California is a stable, reliable partner. We want your business. https://t.co/lhXJDa0T88

“We want to tax your business.”
Clearly you are not a deal maker.

125% Tariffs on China is the opposite of caving
— Jeff Carlson (@themarketswork) April 9, 2025
Not sure I would call a 125% tariff on China “caving.”
Nor would I call 70 countries scrambling to negotiate new trade deals “caving.”

Trump just re-aligned the world against China in global trade but by all means keep parroting the idiotic talking point you were sent.

California is stable???
— Futurist™ (@americasgreat) April 9, 2025
That was our reaction.
You call 125% tariffs caving?
Why do you blatantly misconstrue the facts?

California is the least business friendly state in the country.
— Vance Murphy (@vancemurphy) April 9, 2025
The goal from the start was to get the 70 countries to come forward by applying a shock that will ensure maximum leverage.
If you want to be a presidential candidate, may I suggest reading Art of the Deal.

Oh, he’s already a presidential candidate who thinks a podcast is going to sell him to the people. The last we saw, he was trailing Kamala Harris by a mile.
Now let’s talk about Newsom caving on boys in girls’ sports.
