China Global Times: Trump "not behaving as a president, bears no sense of how to lead a superpower"



Donald Trump appears to have not a clue how to lead a superpower.

That was the conclusion of China’s Global Times newspaper on Monday morning as the country’s media weighed in on the president-elect’s latest social media assaults on Beijing.

“Trump is not behaving as a president who will become master of the White House in a month,” the Communist party controlled newspaper wrote in an editorial. “He bears no sense of how to lead a superpower.”

The article came after the US president-elect again used Twitter, which has been blocked in China since 2009, to berate the leaders of the world’s second largest economy.

OTOH, China isn't Alec Baldwin or Hillary Clinton or Ted Cruz or Carly Fiorina.

Twitter shit storms to countries who aren't allies have consequences.

I can't disagree with them. They are probably as apprehensive and we are about what his presidency is going to do to us. He is totally a fish out of water.

IF you get us into a shooting war with China because of your incompetence and lack of presidential timbre, and unless your two idiot savant and Uday and Qusay look-a-likes are the FIRST sons of America sacrificed in the fighting, then you can kiss my entire ass before either of MY sons will be cannon fodder for your folly Trump.

I mean this in all sincerity - I openly hope and wish for you to die in office (or preferably BEFORE you take the oath and violate the Constitution in the process) before you can send off ANY American soldiers to die in idiotic wars based on your narcissism and broken personality.

FUCK YOU TRUMP, HARD, WITH A JAGGED OBJECT, REPEATEDLY, FOLLOWED BY AN ALCOHOL RINSE.

MY SONS WILL NOT DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!

I didn't know we could curse like that!!!! But I won't 'casue you nialed it!!!!

Hair Twitter is turning this country in to a joke, a badroom joke at that. When the Chinese have to tell a Pig-Elect how to act is nearly the bottom of the barrell. Next it will kim jung Fatty to tell him how to act.
