Is Mick Mulvaney's time as White House Chief of Staff coming to an end?
I think there's a good chance that it is, given his disastrous press conference and then shaky performance on Fox News over the weekend. You got anonymous leaks coming out of the White House of folks who would like to see him gone.

Is a China trade deal actually near?
I think it's as near as it has been in a while. You had positive comments coming out of the Chinese side on Tuesday. President Trump also saying on Monday that he thought the Chinese were buying ag products and that there might be the chance for a signing of a deal in Chile next month when he meets with President Xi Jinping. Trump knows he needs a deal to keep the economy going heading into reelection.
