And like all things he doesn’t understand, he just dismissed it. He wouldn’t even remember what the words were if you asked him two seconds later. It simply didn’t register at all. He gave it zero thought.

Xi used that specifically because he knew Piss wouldn’t understand it. It’s just another dig at him.

In fairness, most people don’t know what it is but a modern President should be familiar with the term. Someone had to tell him what it meant and how he should respond on his dopey social media platform.

It’s a shame he wasn’t forced to respond immediately.
