President Trump on Friday said "China wants to make a deal" with the U.S., but noted that any deal would have to be reciprocal.

“China wants to make a deal,” the president told reporters Friday in the Oval Office. "They sent a list of things that they're willing to do, which was a large list," he added, referencing a list of items on which China said it was willing to compromise.

"I think we’ll have a deal. We’ll find out very soon,” he continued. “We have to have reciprocal trade. We can’t have trade that’s meant for stupid people, and that’s the way they took advantage of our country.”

Trump's comments on Friday come one day after China's Commerce Ministry said the country had resumed trade talks with Washington.

That bull in the china shop really set back relations and trade with China.

2. He's lying!!!!!

China is content to allow trump and his stupid fucking nazis wallow and suffer in the morass that they created. I hope Xi makes trump lie down, roll over and bark like a dog on camera.

4. I was going to say the same exact thing...

I think it was Bill Maher who said that trump speaks off his ass but shit comes out off his mouth.

He makes things up as he goes, wait for China to come back with a rebuttal.

3. Ooh "reciprocal"

Did he look down at his papers when he said that ala Hannity?

5. Sure thing, Dotard:

I just think that we are now we are going to start the process of denuclearization of North Korea, and I believe that he’s going back and will start it virtually immediately – and he’s already indicated that and you look at what he’s done.”

Trump's word means less than nothing.
