While President Donald Trump’s naysayers across the U.S. and around the world have described his tariffs on China as a detriment to the economy and global commerce, he has remained steadfast in his pursuit of fairer trade policies. Over the weekend, officials from both nations met for a discussion of the ongoing impasse, and Trump offered a positive assessment of the talks. According to the New York Post: President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social Saturday night that “great progress” had been made during weekend trade negotiations with China. During the meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, between U.S. officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and a Chinese delegation, “many things” were discussed and “much [was] agreed to,” Trump said. No major breakthrough was announced in discussions that lasted over 10 hours, The Associated Press reported, and negotiations are scheduled to continue Sunday. The administration announced a round of tariffs April 2 and later imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese goods. After reducing reciprocal tariffs on other countries for 90 days to a baseline of 10%, China raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%. On Thursday, Trump told reporters at the White House China “very much” wanted to make a deal, ending the intense tariff battle. While the president did not provide many specifics Saturday night, he described the agreement as “a total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner.” The development attracted significant social media attention: JUST IN: Scott Bessent has successfully negotiated a TRADE RESET with China during the hours-long meeting today with officials. TRUMP: “MUCH AGREED TO…” in a FRIENDLY manner… Talks are supposed to continue TOMORROW. I knew Scott Bessent would perform. pic.twitter.com/NEnLRySkMo — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 10, 2025 I have been telling anyone who’ll listen that Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are not decoupling the US and China from each other. They’re decoupling the US and China from the Globalist System. This will benefit both nations. The Trade War allows both to save face in the interim. pic.twitter.com/RWqF9C0mcA — BurningBright (@reBurningBright) May 11, 2025 President Trump on trade negotiations with China: “I mean, look, we were losing a trillion dollars a year, now we’re not losing anything, you know?…That’s not bad.” pic.twitter.com/kgvlZQaIbe — Derrick Evans (@DerrickEvans4WV) May 10, 2025 Trump’s update came just hours after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s positive assessment, per The Hill: “So I think the president would like to work it out with China, as he said, he’d like to deescalate it. But look, he’s not going to live with a trillion-dollar deficit,” Lutnick said Friday during his appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.” “He’s just not going to do it. So the idea is de-escalate, but let’s get China trade right, and let’s get trade deals with the rest of the world,” he continued. “Let’s cut our trade deficit down. Let’s grow our GDP.” The commerce chief added, “I think the President can grow our GDP 3 percent, I mean, I think this president’s got it right. He’s got it dead right, and he’s doing everything he’s supposed to be doing.” Lutnick’s remarks came just ahead of scheduled trade talks between the U.S. and China in Switzerland. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will lead the U.S. delegation for talks in Geneva opposite Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. And here’s what Secretary of State Marco Rubio had to say about the negotiations: SOS Marco Rubio: “We were far too dependent on China. We allowed them, through unfair trade practices, to deindustrialize us…that’s a very dangerous place to be, & President Trump is taking it on & he’s doing it now because it needs to be done now. It cannot wait any longer.” pic.twitter.com/YtXASRn5tw — Derrick Evans (@DerrickEvans4WV) May 11, 2025

Although “Monty Python” member John Cleese has long been known for his leftist political leanings, his recent comment about a top adviser to President Donald Trump was offensive even by his standards. Cleese eventually deleted the X post targeting White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, but that didn’t stop critics from spreading screenshots and sharing their own thoughts about his statement. Hi @JohnCleese! Why did you delete this? pic.twitter.com/sSQ03kfSO9 — Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) May 10, 2025 As Breitbart reported: Cleese’s post comes as reports have surfaced that the Trump administration is thinking of suspending habeas corpus. Per, ABC27 News, “habeas corpus is Latin for ‘that you have the body.’” According to the Cornell University School of Law, habeas corpus is Latin for “that you have the body.” Cornell says in the United States, federal courts can use habeas corpus to determine if a state’s prisoner detention is valid. The writ, or order, of habeas corpus is used to “bring a prisoner or other detainee (such as an institutionalized mental patient or illegal immigrant) before the court to determine if the person’s imprisonment or detention is lawful.” When asked by a reporter about how President Donald Trump had talked “about potentially suspending habeas corpus to take care of the illegal immigration problem,” Miller explained that “the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of invasion,” according to ABC News. Here are some other reactions to Cleese’s post: The crazy thing isn’t that John Cleese posted and then deleted this. The crazy thing is that over 9K people liked it. But then again, it is Mental Health Awareness Month. pic.twitter.com/7aUd7dIj0i — General (@TheGeneral_0) May 11, 2025 The Internet never forgets @JohnCleese and he posted this to his 5.3 million followers to read. pic.twitter.com/fRIDIvienb — The Dibster (@richarddibX) May 10, 2025 As if we didn’t need more proof of just how violent and dangerous left-wing extremists are? Absolute trash. That’s what John Cleese is. https://t.co/anbB3IXsLu pic.twitter.com/lynD0t1Z1M — Nadine Miller (@DutchyPerdition) May 10, 2025 Here’s how The Hill reported on Miller’s initial statement about habeas corpus: White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said Friday that President Trump and his team are “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus as part of the administration’s immigration crackdown. “Well, the Constitution is clear — and that of course is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Miller told reporters at the White House. “So, it’s an option we’re actively looking at. Look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.” A writ of habeas corpus compels authorities to produce an individual they are holding and to justify their confinement. It’s been a key avenue migrants have used to challenge pending deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely-used 18th-century power Trump cited to deport Venezuelan nationals he’s accused of being gang members to a notorious megaprison in El Salvador.
