I'm loving the magic of the Great Dealmaker, and getting a little tired of winning.
Who knew this President thing would be so hard?

Trump hails 'tremendous' progress in talks with China's Xi
"Tremendous progress" has been made in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Donald Trump said on the summit's second and final day."I think truly progress has been made," the US president said, declaring the relationship as "outstanding".
The two men and their staff sat face to face for talks at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida.Last year Mr Trump said China had "raped the US" and vowed to brand the superpower a currency manipulator.But at a welcome banquet it was all smiles and the good spirits appeared to continue on Friday as Mr Xi's visit concluded with a working lunch.

After North Korea missile test, Trump tweets: 'So much for China working with us'
President Trump expressed frustration with China in a tweet Wednesday, suggesting the U.S. might not work with the country to curb escalating nuclear tensions with North Korea – and issued a blanket warning about renegotiating trade deals as he boarded Air Force One for a trip to a global summit in Europe.
"Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter," Trump said in one post as he departed for his second foreign trip as president. "So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!"

I remember during the campaign Trump told us that pretty much every problem we face was due to the fact that our leaders were stupid. He was going to come in and make all sorts of deals with his big brain.
Then after meeting the Chinese premier, once Trump announced "tremendous progress". Not significant, promising, incremental, but tremendous.
Now this.
I have to say Mr President, I'm not impressed.
