The contrast between Trump and Xi at this summit was genuinely embarrassing. Xi spoke about global turbulence, the Thucydides Trap, the future of humanity, and the structural questions that define the international order. He framed China as a stabilizing power and posed the question of whether the U.S. and China could rise to meet global challenges together. By invoking the Thucydides Trap — the structural tension that emerges when a rising power (in his analogy, China) threatens to displace a declining one (in his analogy, the U.S.) — Xi was essentially announcing to the world that China sees itself as the ascendant power. What’s remarkable is that China has pursued that status without dropping bombs on sovereign nations, spending a trillion dollars a year on its military, or starting endless wars. Essentially, China’s strategy has been: “Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake.” Meanwhile, Trump told Xi he was a “great leader.” He said he always tells the truth. He talked about how many Chinese restaurants there are in America. I’m not making that up. He actually told Xi: “Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States all combined. That’s a pretty big statement.”

It must be acknowledged that Donald Trump is a giant among giants. Look at him in China, doing business for his country and for the world. The man is incredible; he's on another level. Let's hope he brings great things not only to his country but to the world, that he continues to bring solutions, just as he did for Venezuela, Iran, and soon Cuba. Donald Trump is the new face of peace, order, and stability. He is the one promoting it.

POTUS Trump has honed the art of hyperbole. Most of what he says can be dismissed as fiction. He will get nothing out of Chine. The trip is a publicity stunt. Meanwhile, those of us plebs trying to survive on struggle street are sick of the clown show.

Trump lands in Beijing as Xi sends a message Let’s start with Donald Trump, gripping the Air Force One handrail for dear life, inching his way down the stairs step by careful step, while schoolchildren on the tarmac waved mostly Chinese flags in his face. This is the guy who spent years mocking Joe Biden for physical stumbles. And we can move past just the optics, because the substance was worse. Xi Jinping did not show up to greet Trump. Not only that, he didn’t send his Foreign Minister either. What Trump got was China’s Vice President Han Zheng, U.S. Ambassador David Perdue, China’s Ambassador to Washington, and an Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. As former Ambassador Luis Moreno put it, and he’s done more than a few of these POTUS visits abroad, that doesn’t happen unless someone is sending a message. Xi sent a message. Trump got the bells and whistles. The motorcade, the ceremony, the pageantry. The surface level stuff someone like Xi knows is enough to get Trump’s ego satiated before he makes his move. His first public communication after wheels down was a Truth Social post defending Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s invitation status on Air Force One. Now, the White House published a full list of the business leaders who joined Trump on this trip: Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzman, David Solomon, Jane Fraser, Kelly Ortberg, Jensen Huang, and a roster of other Fortune 500 CEOs. Trump is clearly trying to use their presence as a crutch, as if surrounding himself with America’s corporate elite will make him look powerful walking into a room with Xi. It’s doing the opposite. It looks desperate. It looks like a man who knows he’s outmatched and is packing the bench hoping nobody notices. And let’s be clear about what Eric Trump and Lara Trump are doing on that plane. Eric runs the Trump Organization. Whatever business opportunities come out of China in the next 48 hours, you can be confident the family is positioning itself to benefit. I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions about that. Not a single China expert aboard Air Force One Brett Bruen, a former U.S. diplomat, noted something that should alarm everyone: there was not a single China policy expert on Air Force One. No NSC official. No State Department specialist on Chinese affairs. Normally a presidential visit of this magnitude would include briefers whose entire careers have been spent understanding how Xi Jinping thinks, what he wants, and where the pressure points are. Instead, Trump brought his kids and a collection of CEOs focused on their own bottom lines. It’s the perfect representation of the American oligarchy. The response from the White House communications shop? Steve Cheung called Bruen a “slope-brained, mouth breathing moron” and told him to stop calling himself an expert in anything “aside from sucking.” That is a direct quote from an official White House spokesperson. That is the level of professionalism representing the United States on the world stage right now. It’s humiliating.

China is mocking Trump for the fool that he is. Trump is meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping tonight, a high-stakes meeting which is being mocked across China, Beijing's strict censors are letting the ridicule go viral, which is a statement in and of itself. "America has lost its swagger. They're nothing but a paper tiger," one of those viral posts read. "The U.S. economy is in bad shape. Trump has been blustering Iran for so long." "They will look up to us from now on," read another post. "Trump came to China! We won the tariff war!" read another. "Trump, you're welcome to visit China and learn from us," the mockery continued. "The U.S. is no longer a country that we look up to. We can now compete with them with confidence and strength," a Chinese social media user wrote. In China, political content like this never goes viral, especially when you have a head of state coming. This is because government censors want this to go viral, and by the tone of the messages, the Chinese government feels they've got the upper hand. # Trump # Truth # MAGA # AmericaFirst # WETHEPEOPLE
