Good trip by Trump, it will rankle the TDS crowd.
That's the important thing, Leroy. DL went to all the trouble of flying over to Chi-na for a couple of terse-looking photos with Xi.
Now, Vlad's on his way over to Chi-na to clean up.
Good thing DL's pulled his mission back to rankling the TDS crowd. We always thought all that making America number-one again rhetoric was a tad, as Sir Humphrey Appleby used to call it,
brave.
Biden was well on the way, with high-speed broadband rolling out, high-end manufacturing returning, microprocessor and renewable energy industries booming and the US dominating the AI race. Good thing the big fella put a stop to all that, eh?
The quicker DL can set his administration's expectations back to letting the Chows take over, the better. This leaves DL free to hawk his memecoins and fake Trump phone plans, throwing a bit of meat at the base from time to time. On their end, the Chows get to colonise the developing world with their own technology, build up their military and take over the Pacific, if not the Indian Ocean too.
Wayne Dyer would call this a "win-win".
You?
