'This stuff is not easy': Charles Payne counters media's take on China talks

Key Concepts:

• US-China Trade Relations
• President Trump's Negotiation Style
• "Art of the Deal"
• Mainstream Media Bias
• Historical Trade Deal Timelines

Meeting with Chinese President

President Trump described his meeting with the leader of China as "amazing," rating it a "12" on a scale of 0-10. He characterized the Chinese leader as the head of a "powerful, very strong country."

Mainstream Media Reaction and Trump's Negotiation Strategy

Charles notes that the mainstream media has been critical of President Trump's trade discussions with China, dismissing not only "the talk" but also its outcomes. This opposition, Charles argues, blinds them to Trump's efforts to "rewrite the art of the deal" and fight back against years of complacency in trade relations. He emphasizes that the current position is not one the US should have been in and that these negotiations are inherently difficult.

Historical Context of Trade Deals

Historically, trade deals are noted to take approximately 18 months to finalize. This statement provides a benchmark against which the current pace and outcomes of Trump's negotiations might be implicitly compared.
