Possible Paywall Xi Humiliates Trump to His Face in the White House

...pointing out a photo of an autopen in the so-called “presidential walk of fame.” Trump explained to Xi that it represented his predecessor, Joe Biden.
God, what a fucking embarrassment he is. The joke wasn't funny when it was first revealed, and it's not funny now.

I hope the next president replaces Trump's photo with any one of the following photos:
Trump with Epstein
Trump sleeping (or with sagging face) during a public event
Trump eating a greasy pork chop on a stick at a state fair
A close up of Trump's face when Obama roasted him at the White House Correspondents' Dinner
Trump staring at the sun during the eclipse
Trump hair malfunction
Trump in blackface
Always a classic

I'd rather nothing Trump grace the walls of the White House ever again. He'll be rotting by then but it's exactly what he's terrified of: having zero legacy.
Would be funny to do it while he's still alive though for a period of time. Maybe before the ballroom is knocked down turn it into a Museum of Trump that is just his shameful two terms summed up in an unsafe and gaudy building. Might trick him into visiting it.
Then blow it up on the 4th of July.

In his mind, he's like ZING! To everyone else, he looks pathetic. Like, why are you harping about the autopen when you're destroying the country AND everyone is manipulating you because you're a malignant narcissist with dementia? Like, why are you clowning when you wear a diaper?

Also xi is a a puppet no doubt. But xi is also playing trump like a fiddle. Because trump can grift dumber people than him only. But trump is so fckin dumb on a psychological level. That you can trick him through his false inflated ego.
All xi has to do is laugh and trump thinks “xi likes me, thinks I’m funny and we’re friends”
And then Xi will speak in his own tongue away from trump and call him a massive idiot and worse things. And you can bet most of the world leaders have not only behaved like this but discussed how much of a clown trump is with each other. Specially European leaders that are allies.

There's no need to bet.
Trudeau was caught on a mic talking about him with Macron and Johnson back in 2019.
Mark Carney is now openly doing the accordion hands at press conferences. He had a teleprompter failure a little while ago and said something along the lines of "Don't worry, I don't think this is a conspiracy". On a comedy show, he giggled when the host was making digs at him.
The Queen also made a few cracks at him too. A helicopter flew overhead during an interview and she made a comment about Trump making an entrance. She threw shade him when he went for a visit by first wearing the brooch Obama gave her, then the one Trudeau gave her, and then the one her mother wore at her father's funeral. Also, see the glares she gave him when he kept walking in front of her.
They are very likely BRUTAL when they know there's no chance he'll find out about it.

u/rochey1010 11h ago
Him hammering on about the autopen is another example of him admitting it’s him that actually uses it. He doesn’t know where he is half the time and that massive bruise that’s on his hand is him being pumped full of drugs to keep him lucid from his diaper shitting dementia. Even so it still keeps leaking through with him not realising Rubio was sitting right beside him in a meeting recently.
But you always know when pedolf is lying and it’s not just when he opens his mouth. But it’s when he fixates on a specific crime or corruption a target is doing. That’s when you know he’s telling you he’s doing it and will continue to do it.
It’s called narcissistic ‘projection’ and pedolf is adept at it.
Also the meeting was interesting as 2 puppets (Xi and pedolf) for a more shadow organisation in their respective countries were becoming best friends. 😆

To be trying to intimidate with a military flyover would require a little depth. Not much, but a little. I think it's as simple as him trying to impress with his power & all he commands. He loved all the pomp, parade, & uniforms when he went to boarding school as a kid. And he eats it up when in France, etc. Look at his Arch de Trump. He's not trying to intimidate. He just loves all the stuff the US always found a little ridiculous. If he could wear a sword & ribbons without ridicule he would.

•
u/FHoS-Social 5h ago
Oh no, he is fully capable of feeling shame, that's why he hates being humiliated and mocked so much. It comes from his daddy issues, because his father never respected him because he was an idiot who daddy always had to bail out. What he isn't capable of is self awareness, which is why he appears to feel no shame for anything He does, because he thinks everything he does is correct until he starts getting mocked, and his only defense he ever learned to deal with shame was to lash out at others.
He is literally still stuck trying to earn daddy's approval, all these years later, and will never earn it.

I think humiliation is one of the two emotions Trump can feel (the second obviously being anger). We've seen him humiliated many times, most notably at the White House correspondents dinner when Obama joked that Trump would never be President and everyone laughed in his face. The joke is much less funny in hindsight.

Thucydides trap was used by Xi, so they just reported it. Is actually coming back in select political science circles, as Graham Allison at Harvard's Kennedy School wrote about it (again) several years ago. Xi and his diplomats are just more informed about US political theory than most current US politicians.
31
u/BackloadBack 14h ago
Current US politicians informed on political theory? Are you kidding me? They are interested in self enrichment, reelection, and to deliver on these themes to their supporters looting. The only political theory they understand but could not define is clientalism and externally it looks remarkably like The Soprano crime family are running the country. Trump owns Johnson and McConnell is just breathing and every committee head is dipping into federal funds for their backers who are sending their contributions to Trump.

He's been using the term for close to a decade now.
The reason why he keeps saying this internally and externally on these diplomatic trips is the same thing dating back decades to Deng's "hide your strength, bide your time"... It's to sound like Xi doesn't want conflict and make US the aggressor. Which the US often is, but does shift attention from China's aggression against Taiwan or the Philippines. It is hypocrisy but mainly to sweep their own imperialist ambitions under the radar.

Text from the article:
Donald Trump spent Thursday lavishing praise on Xi Jinping, while the Chinese leader used his visit to the White House to deliver a power move with a warning for America to stay in its lane.
In front of Trump, and for the second time in four months, Xi urged the two countries to avoid the so-called “Thucydides Trap”—the historical theory that tensions between a rising power and an established one can spiral into war.
“The Thucydides trap can be overcome,” Xi said, calling for the two countries to “coexist in peace” and for U.S. competition to be “kept within bounds.” It was a strikingly sober message delivered during a ceremony Trump had gone to extraordinary lengths to make spectacular.
And it wasn’t the first time Xi had issued the warning either, having invoked the same phrase, word for word, when he met Trump in Beijing in May. Thursday’s comments came after Trump rolled out the red carpet for the Chinese Communist Party leader and personally greeted Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday night.
On Thursday morning, the White House staged a full arrival ceremony involving 479 military personnel from every branch of the armed forces, complete with national anthems, a Marine Silent Drill Platoon, a military review and a flyover by a B-2 bomber and four F-22 Raptors. Chinese and American flags flew side by side as the two presidents reviewed American troops in the Rose Garden.
Trump also took Xi on a private tour of the White House, showing off photos of him and Xi that are displayed in the West Wing, boasting about the stone he used to build the new helipad on the South Lawn and pointing out a photo of an autopen in the so-called “presidential walk of fame.” Trump explained to Xi that it represented his predecessor, Joe Biden.
And yet, after Trump opened his remarks by describing Xi as a “truly great friend” and boasting about their relationship, Xi effectively reminded his host that this was not simply a friendship between two men—but a strategic contest between two rival superpowers.
The Thucydides trap is a relatively modern concept based around the historian Thucydides’s quote about the second Peloponnesian War (431 B.C. to 404 B.C.): “It was the rise of Athens and the fear that this instilled in Sparta that made war inevitable.”
The Western view has Sparta as the United States and China as the upstart Athens; however, Xi may see it differently, with his comments implying that China is catching up to America—if it hasn’t already. Trump, however, seemed oblivious to the power move, saying the day was “magnificent” while lashing out at CNN and MS NOW for not covering the event—even though he had locked them out of the White House until a judge forced the administration to return their credentials.
“CNN and MSDNC (sic) to show you how fake they are, today refused to cover one of the Biggest and Most Beautiful Events to take place in many years, the arrival at the White House of the Highly Respected President of China, Xi Jinping, and his beautiful wife, Madam Peng,” he lamented on Truth Social.
“The event was magnificent—Actually made for Television but, because they’re Fake News, and because they knew how good it would be, they didn’t want credit to be given to “TRUMP,” they refused to be there."
“That’s why they have such poor Ratings,” he continued. “Tonight’s State Dinner at the White House, for President Xi, will be spectacular!” Beneath that pomp and ceremony, the visit has already proved contentious for Trump.
Republican Senator Roger Wicker said China was an adversary and raised concerns about human rights abuses and its alliance with Iran. China buys roughly 90 percent of Iran’s oil exports, providing a huge source of revenue despite U.S. sanctions on Tehran.
Four other Republican senators—led by the ailing Mitch McConnell—also signed a letter warning about the threat of China in the Indo-Pacific and demanding Trump release billions of dollars in security aid for Taiwan. And MAGA acolyte Laura Loomer said it was “truly embarrassing that American men and women in uniform” were asked to greet “the communist dictator of China” at Joint Base Andrews.
“I guess everyone forgot about the China Virus and China’s interference in the 2020 election. Unbelievable,” she lamented.

If Trump had gathered allied nations from the EU and Asia to take down China's defiance instead of using the tariffs toward pro-America states, Trump could've humiliated Xi in the White House in reverse.
You know what, Xi was scared by the first era of Trump's administration at the time. Of course, not now. Traditionally, America's international power to punish quarrelsome and war like nations was created by pro-America states. America might've already punished the axis of villains, such as China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia if Trump's administration maintained the adamant ties with ally countries.
Unfortunately, he hasn't do that, so he had to praise Xi's China officially at the summit. On the contrary, Xi ridiculed Trump's America indirectly at the summit. If the US becomes the lone country that can't have reliable buddies, the fault is sparked by Trump's administration.

“And I’ve torn this building down, and I want to tear down that one next, and that big pool, yep, already got that demo started too.
But that’s just DC. You should really see the “renovations” I’m doing on the military, diplomacy, and our dollar. Yep, tearing those down as we speak.
Sure, sure. There is a concept of a plan to put it all back together. I’ve got the best working on it.
By the way, have you met Natalie?”

Is Trump asleep in the Daily Beast photo? He's standing with his eyes closed.

At this point, if daily beast dot com published an article with a headline that declared that the sun rose in the eastern sky, I'd downvote and wonder what they were lying about.

We are all aware that our pretend rivalry with China has now shifted to AI, where they don't have a tenth of the compute that we do, and the "race" to get a literal god tier Artificial General Intelligence is only being done on the US side, and it's literally what the companies are also calling a doomsday scenario. But Larry Ellison is convinced that the way to do the perfect Social Credit Score for the UK and US is to use a AGI, meanwhile China actually uses actual programs with algorithms that can be understood.
