Drump must be fuming with jealousy.
After Putin and Kim Jong Un participated in a military parade during their visit to China, they held a one-on-one meeting in Beijing, which, according to Russian media, lasted over 2.5 hours.

(Maybe one of the reasons we don't do military parades is because it's not really our thing, and it definitely is their thing - at least for the Chinese and North Koreans and, formerly, the Russians).

(5,029 posts)His actions suggest he cannot control Putin. I think it bothers him, and as a result he cracks down harder by sending out ICE and the National Guard thus after many other actions (tariffs, pulling finding, etc.). Accusations about his fitness as president seem to push him further to prove hes fit or cause him to offer distractions. Dont MAGA, GOP, the J6-ers, etc., realize he is using them to feed his ego? (Sure, they get something out of it, too.)
Vladimir Poetin en Kim Jong-un hebben elkaar woensdag met een omhelzing gedag gezegd. Beide staatshoofden zijn in China op bezoek.
