39. I was wondering when he told him. Geez, China comes

all of the way here, and DT overshadows the meeting by something he knows is very controversial to them. There were such important things to discuss. Couldn't he wait a day or two?

I didn't know that they did not sleep at the Palace, Mar o Lago. So weird that he met with the Chinese there anyway, especially for the first important meeting. I suppose it was because he promised he would not give the Chinese a state dinner. The Chinese are formal though. This wasn't the Governor of Hawaii.

I still don't understand why he singled out Germany, Merkel, to publicly be rude to before the world. You would think he could mind his manners for a few minutes.
