How Two Words From China's President Finally Silenced Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump will leave China a chastened man.

If he didn’t know what Xi Jinping meant by raising the specter of the Thucydides Trap when he arrived in Beijing, you can be sure that he does now.

Because it was a warning issued by a leader who is very much Trump’s equal in power and way more experienced at using it.

Amid the pomp of Trump’s arrival on Thursday, Xi invoked a classical Greek reference suggesting that war is often inevitable when a rising power challenges a hegemon.

3. "He left Washington on Tuesday in a bombastic mood, insulting a female reporter on the way to his Marine One helicopter

and insisting he doesn’t give a thought to Americans struggling with their finances."

"Before that, for nights on end, he spewed Truth Social posts lambasting everyone from Barack Obama to his own appointed Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett."

"But since that shaded welcome and two hours of talks behind closed doors with his 'friend' Xi, Trump has been muted. He looks serious and thoughtful...and old."

Sounds like Xi tore Trump a new one. I hope someone who was there reveals what was said behind those closed doors.
