"They will look up to us from now on," read another post that Burnett shared. "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," Burnett explained. "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."

(24,224 posts)He really is clinically, pathologically, mentally ill.
The biggest problem is that the MAGAts "validate" him, with cheers and laughs at public events, and re-posting his online garbage.
He thinks he's funny, charming, articulate. And, of course, he's none of those things, and the average Chinese citizen isn't compelled to prop him up.

(82,236 posts)The rest of the world hates him and thinks him a fool.
And because the US is a democracy they think the same thing of the American people now.

(24,224 posts)But the numbers don't lie.
77 million for Trump.
74 million for Harris.
90 million stayed home.
That's EXACTLY how we GOT HERE.

This is where the USA is right now, the laughing stock, well at least the Republican party.
And a lot in the world feels sorry for the American people, our own government brutal treatment of us, the lies the GQP's tell on it's own people, the disenfranchised of it's people.
The total corruption, stealing, cheating, making up shit. It's the worst government, even the 6 US SC justices sucks. They are racists, and partisan.
fuck them.

(24,224 posts)I don't know how well you remember the bravado that came from Iraq, shortly before the U.S. attacks.
I wish I could find a link to some of it, but it was along the lines of "the blood of Americans will run red in the streets, and the jackals will drink the blood, and..."
Trump's been doing the same thing with Iran, all of the "Truth Social Fatwas" about bombing them from the face of the earth, and what I'm seeing and hearing is "Bite me, Grampy."

(7,933 posts)But i worry what he'll do once he watches the social media across the world follow suit. He still has the nuke codes and a deep seated need to use them. Against China? Against Taiwan? Against us? Or just various countries around the world who've offended him. It would follow the pattern of vindictivness he's instituted against states right here in the US.
Past behavior often predicts future behavior. China sealed the deal making him the most dangerous man in the world, IMO.

(4,706 posts)... limited their contempt to Trump and didn't spread a blanket condemnation of all Americans. There are certainly a depressing number that deserve to be lumped in with that turd, but not all of us.
There's an old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times". That's a two-way street, Comrade Xi.

(6,936 posts)Communitarian is their philosophy and group think is part of the social fabric, society, and education system
To them, Trump represents ALL Americans as Xi represents all Chinese.

(4,706 posts)... group indoctrination goes back centuries. Not an easy thing to overcome.
For many years I have thought in terms of completing a circle: Government conducts itself in the best interests of the individual, while the individual conducts his- or herself in the best interests of society. Simplistic, yes, but ya gotta start somewhere!
China and the US could be thought of as two sides of the same coin.
My head hurts when I get philosophical.

(8,892 posts)The majority of the Supreme court goes along with what he is doing. Americans, as a whole, have come to this. This is peak America.
We didn't impeach him, and the courts gave him more power. The courts gave white supremacy more power.
This country has always elevated and protected white supremacy, and the U.S. bombs the shit out of brown people in order to take their resources.
The Chinese are not stupid. Their survival depends on seeing us accurately. They've been around for many more hundreds of years
The majority of Americans lack any core connection to the rest of the world.
This administration and its criminal arrogance is a reflection of our nation and its people.
