I’m sure Xi is beyond having his feelings hurt by Biden, but just look at Bilken’s reaction lmao.
Inviting a head of state to your country to publicly insult them is unacceptable anywhere, so this is only going to further tarnish the shitty reputation of American diplomacy.
Trump likes anyone who is nice to him. He would like Xi because Xi would be polite to him because Xi knows how to handle diplomatic tact, no more, no less.
Worked for a bit for Kim Jong Un. Also out of that inthink came the smartest thing Trump ever said and I’m paraphrasing “Part of running a country is having diplomatic relationships with other countries and there isn’t generally a downside to meeting with leaders of other countries.” Coming from business brain but also, like…yeah, pretty sure if I was the president of the US one of the first things I’d do I chat with the leaders of as many other countries as possible, I’m the new guy.
“You think our country’s so innocent?” is my all time #1.
That one is even better for sure. Like, shouldn’t really even be controversial, but only the least filtered guy to ever get that position could say it let alone any American politician. It’s weird to not be able to admit your country is flawless.
The libs got sooooo mad about that one.
