An added irony is Xi using a Western Civilization reference, which MAGAts claim to revere but actually have a very shallow knowledge and understanding of
It would be mean if trump understood what happened.
He of course did not, and plowed ahead with his usual braggadocious fuckery and absurd fawning flattery of a fellow authoritarian.
Are you not surprised that he did not say Chinese food is the best food he has ever had, that the Chinese are very good cooks, and he is thinking of hiring one for special dinners at Mar-Lago.
All the business worms pile onto Air Force One to go try to get their beaks wet while the president gets Doctor J windmill dunked on at a state dinner in the Great Hall of the People
It's especially funny because it's a continuously disproven axiom. It's like if he said "oh yeah, we gotta be careful or we'll run into the classic 'you should always judge a book by it's cover' gambit"
I had to look it up. That’s what you do if you don’t know the definition of a word or phrase. Also correct spelling.
Big shade thrown at the entire USA delegation present.
TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN'S FINANCIAL SITUATION. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HE TOLD AMERICANS TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES!
NOW, HE WANTS US TO PAY FOR HIS BALLROOM!
REAL GOOD JOB TO THOSE AMERICAN DICKHEADS WHO VOTED FOR THIS NARCISSIST.
Blatantly insulting Trump to his face in the language of politics so Trump can’t understand. Everyone observed the insult, and all who mattered understood the reference and would be made aware that Trump didn’t. An extremely clever move that debases Trump without even tipping him off.
If anybody tries to explain to Trump who Thucydides was, he'll hear "general" and start claiming Xi compared him to this great guy "Thu-dee-da-da" because "Xi says I do war like nobody's ever seen. I always win. He hopes I don't want China. But that's OK. I'm gonna take Cuba next!"
It’s absolutely going to be one of those things that Trump gets really mad about once he’s had time to watch the news and piece together what actually happened.
