The Art of the Kneel: Trump Bends Knee to China, Bigly - The Lincoln Project

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Xi Jinping was supposed to project strength. Instead, it exposed exactly how weak, desperate, and dangerously unprepared he is for a real geopolitical showdown with China.

This week, Rick's ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM breaks down Trump’s humiliating “Chyna” summit, his obsession with personal grift over American power, and why even before the cognitive decline, Trump never had the foreign policy discipline, strategy, or attention span to negotiate with Beijing.

From trade wars and tariffs to global instability, Xi Jinping saw exactly what America’s allies and enemies now see: a fragile ego wrapped in chaos. Rick Wilson tears into Trump’s surrender politics, dictator worship, economic self-sabotage, and the terrifying reality that America’s global influence is shrinking while Trump keeps bowing for applause, leverage, and money. This is the collapse of American credibility in real time — and Beijing knows it. - 05/15/2026.

2. "- and Beijing knows it"...

... and Republicans own it. Add it to the multitude of albatrosses around their necks. There can be NO forgiveness for supporting these monsters. None. Let their idiot red hats brand them forever as twisted homunculi undeserving of trust or faith in any form.
