EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “So, what did the two a big men hammer out? Well Trump gave Xi a reduction in tariffs and he delayed controls on Chinese firms buying American technology. In exchange, Xi agreed to hold off on restricting export of rare-earth minerals and to return soybean purchases to regular levels, which largely restored the pre-tariff status quo. So, after dragging the United States retailers, manufacturers, farmers and consumers over an economic cheese grater for the last nine months, claiming he was going to get big concessions from China, at best, Trump is going to get the same deal we had to begin with, before the tariffs. Now, I know that sounds like madness, but it is strategy, and it is all outlined in Trump’s best-seller, 'The Art of the Carerdddd.'”
