I hate this whole obsession of single individuals representing the whole country. Like im sure there are alot of people that can work out the trade agreement and it doesnt have to be some mafia style my boss talks to your boss. I think Trump is just mob-brained
- western media cannot delve into the material basis for geopolitics, or acknowledge the democratic legitimacy of enemy leadership. so everything has to be reduced to psychological analysis of the "dictator" who personally controls everyone in their country through intimidation
- I mean, to be fair, the tariffs were done by executive order so the whole trade agreement is sort of hinged on him. It makes sense that China would send Xi to talk him down rather than just direct him to the ministry of finance or something.
- Trump's political mentor was Roy Cohn the mobbed up McCarthyist attorney
- Trump just continuing the grift to get vacations paid for by taxpayers where they treat him like a vip the whole time he's there.
- Nah, China required Trump to do this because America has backed out of everything they agreed to on Trump's say so. You can't trust his talented subordinates when he consistently overrides them
- Correct and China is as much to blame for this shit though, that disastrous piece of garbage idea for Xi to meet Biden in SF barely one month into the genocide?
  The CPC enjoys the idea Xi can have the soft peaceful discourse and being the "good" face of modern China just as much as the racist westerners enjoy making Xi caricatures of dictatorship etc.
withholding rare earth minerals was the end of all of this. China won the trade war over a month ago. Watching the Trump team squirm since then has been truly great.
“Sure, I’ll accept the charges. Hey there Donny, really appreciate that despite your tariffs you’re still importing massive amounts of L’s.”
I thought he was gonna wait for Xi to call, what happened?
- most obnoxiously smug liberal voice possible
  TACO Tuesday came twice this week.
Xi picked up the phone and went back to gaming
I hope Xi gives a trump a tour of China and he becomes communist brained by seeing how much more advanced they are than us
- if they take him to the most advanced fast food places in china and just let him pig out we will see world peace in the next decade
- They could tell him they're changing the name to general trumps chicken and he would let them go into Taiwan next week.
Tfw maga calls China a Great Nation
- MAAGAC (make america as great as china)
There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products
yeah he's trying to imply they will stop the embargo on REs but this really is just acknowledgement of the issue
- I hope they don't let up. They're mainly used for bombs and shit by the US
I want to add that this call was planned ahead of time. On Monday, I saw a news article that there would be a call on Thursday. China wants it to be clear to everyone that Trump invoked the call.
he wanted to workshop his new Chinese voice impression
he will meet with Xi Jinping in China
if you make the other guy come to you, you winnin'
STRONG AND POWERFUL TRUMP USING HIS STRONG AND POWERFUL TARIFFS ALLOWS CHINA TO BEG FOR MERCY.
Trump had some knock-knock jokes he wanted to share
Interesting how his Truth Social post goes out of its way to try and prevent the media from making this about russia/ukraine/iran.
Trump has agreed to send 1,000 reactionaries a day.
Honestly, it wouldn't supriseme if trump just doesn't give a single shit about Taiwan lmao
🥰
I've added the Chinese MFA press statement. Something that stands out is that their statement says that Trump loves Chinese students in the US, but I think Trump is still threatening to revoke Chinese student visas.
The Great Khan of the Western Horde prepares to meet with the Son of Heaven in hastily prepared tributary mission.
I hope he spends many weeks there and other places where he can't mess with our daily lives.
Bend the knee
Ji....big guy crying. He said Mr Ji, please help me be popular with young women... I mean Americans. Crying. The guy. He was big. Big crying guy he was.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Winnie the Pooh eats a TACO...with honey of course.
Xi to his new pet, "Donald, heel, sit, roll over, play dead."
