NOT THE ONION. Trump says that Xi's calling the U.S. a declining nation WAS IN REFERENCE TO BIDEN. I sh*t you not. [View all]

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline.

Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden.

Really humiliating stuff.
