Trump is losing his sanity not being able to force Xi to give him a call to negotiate, which he will later be using to boast that Xi backed down and also has to kiss his arse like everyone else. No joke, he will twist it to his benefit as all other USA clowns are also doing.
The irony is that the sycophants in Trump's administration are, like him, still boasting that Xi will have to come to the negotiating table at 'some point in time'. In the meantime, Trump is now about to backtrack on tariffs for the Auto Industry in the USA, which needed parts from trade partners. Xi does not need to negotiate, as Trump will be backtracking day after day.
On the other hand, Trump wants to end tariff exemption on pharmaceuticals, which will decimate big Pharma that depended largely on China for the raw materials and ingredients needed for the manufacture of drugs. Big Pharma in USA had been making obscene big money on drugs sourced from China, rebranded and resold at huge profits in the USA. Big Pharma had been ripping off USA citizens and the rest of the world for decades and this might just wake them up. Perhaps this will really tell USA citizens to take action regarding the high cost of healthcare in the USA.
It would have been a distant possibility and hope by the USA about negotiating with China, but that mindless comment by Trump about countries going to 'kiss his arse' is humiliation on top of injury, destroying all possibility of Xi calling him now. Further, the equally mindless comment by J. G. Vance of the USA borrowing money from 'Chinese peasants' to buy products made by them is the straw that broke the camel's back.
Now the joke is on the USA, with the Chinese making videos using AI to hit back. There were many such videos flooding social media, with one showing Trump, Musk, Vance and other administration officials working in a shoe factory busily handling shoes. Another video shows Trump sewing garments in a factory, looking glum. Others show big fat USA workers sewing clothes in a garment factory. I could not help laughing at the ingenuity of the Chinese vloggers. This is what bringing manufacturing back to the USA is all going to be about, but that is just for laughs. The reality is that job creation is just not going to happen, as automation and robotics partnering AI have already replaced humans in factories in China and the EU.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, Singapore not retaliating means Lawrence need not have to go to kiss Trump's arse. Lawrence is smart and not ready to be humiliated in front of the world, least of all within ASEAN. Bala painted Singapore into a corner and Lawrence has to clean up the shit one way or another.
But I can be sure that Lawrence's stance of discreetly reversing Singapore's position against sanctioning Russia is not going to please Trump and will face further backlash by the USA. The veiled threat of 'You are either with the US or against US' still looms large. The only saving grace could be BRICS succeeding in its de-dollarization endeavor and the USA losing the trade war against the rest of the world and thus its hegemony. Singapore is taking a big gamble, and I am sure Russia and China are watching closely.
Is Old Hen not standing for next GE anything to do with his stance in relation to Lawrence's position regarding the USA?
it's High time to rid of all these dead wood.
Why so many still around?
Aiya no choice but have to make up the Racial Numbers.
In Sinking Land its a privilege been the other races rather than been a Chinese have more chances to be on the TOP even though medicore.
Aiya what's to do?
Pro American Anglophiles have been very influential in the PAP for a long time. Lawrence may be trying to clip their wings.
Who want to bet that laulan wong will call trump & kiss his ass once he win the coming erection.
I think voters are more concern with other issues than whether Lawrence is going to kiss Trump's arse or not even after winning the election.
How many oldies are aware of what is going on with the tariffs? They are only interested in how big the chicken wings are that is being thrown down to them. How many younger ones are really interested in geopolitical issues other than the fight for jobs, COEs and BTOs.
