Xi Jinping decided to keep his trap shut and just let Donald Trump humiliate himself and it worked like a dream

Donald Trump has concluded crucial trade talks with the Chinese president in South Korea, with Trump set to visit China next April. Bet they can’t wait.

We mention it because of this particular moment when Trump officially met with Xi Jinping in front of the assembled media, where the Chinese president appears to have decided just to keep quiet and let Trump humiliate himself with his own words.

And it basically worked like a dream.

Constantly checking Xi for acknowledgement which did not come. He’s a fool and we are paying the price.
