He was getting played. Of course they were going to throw in crazy shit at the 11th hour, but Carney should have seen this coming.

Trump needs a deal before the US midterms. Just let the tariffs happen for two months and come back to a deal when Trump's balls have been cut off at the midterms.

Just because he didn't publicly state that he expected it, doesn't mean it was a surprise.

Carney and the negotiating team know who they are dealing with. They know more about who they are dealing with than any of us armchair quarterbacks yammering on social media.
