China: "let's wait 74 days and tell them we might talk about tariffs" and get another 75 days extension.
I don't see where this will help with negotiations. China is even not afraid to pull the same tariffs. Why should they sell then? Just retreat and put servers in Europe. Leave us completely.

Oh I didn't notice that. Well, he has repeatedly humiliated congress with the wildly unqualified cabinet he forced them to rubber-stamp, so I suppose it's no surprise he'd continue by rubbing their nose in a violation of the law they just passed.
The GOP showed their hand when the failed to remove him over January 6. He could probably send recalcitrant GOP congressional reps to El Salvador without trial and the others would go on Fox News to say they probably deserved it.
