China has existed for what - 3,000/4,000 years? They’re patient. This is their moment to become *the* economic powerhouse they’ve always wanted to be. They surveil every Chinese citizen, so not worried about protests bc of economic hardship. They will wait us out. Believe me.

Really? China has been around for 5,000 years and US for about 250...they can find the small amount they import from us from other nations. China does not need us. WTF is Ackman thinking?

From the mouth of the infallible Ackman. Who needs Krugman or Wolfers?

"Trump simp Bill Ackman"

He's not anyone I would take any advice from

The desperate character of the Trump admin's efforts to get Chima to the table make it clear tey're in a far worse bargaining position than would have been the case if they'd just let well enough alone on day one.

Another know nothing billionaire. China has been around as a civilization for 4000 years or so and they ain't going anywhere. Trump will fold as soon as he can think of a way of pretending that he hasn't. If he can't think of a suitable pretence he'll just lie outright per usual...

Ackman is a Trump enabler...end of story.

Bill Ackman is the Jordan Peterson of finance--Always Wrong.

It's already doing serious damage to OUR economy!

Ackman is wrong quite often.

I can't imagine that anything Ackman says at this point can be taken seriously. The guy has lost all credibility the past two months.

Black suits and black ties are what is worn during an important person funeral. The idiot wore a blue suit and a blue tie. American exceptionalism? Or plain rudeness and disrespect?

China can do this all day long. Their government will subsidize their economy into infinity. This is just a blip in their timeline. We can live without China, but it’s going to leave a helluva mark.

Bill Ackman is the most arrogant idiot on Wall Street, and the competition there is intense.
