Trump has landed in China and made quite the impression!! Yup, lots of pageantry and photo ops and flag waving. And then Trump started talking…ooooppppppsssssss.

Yeah, he kissed Xi’s ring like a pro…then butt-kissing, flattery, more butt-kissing, more flattery. Sickening, but classic Trump. Trump even called Xi a “great leader.” Ahhhhhh, did someone forget to tell Trump that China is an economic and military enemy of the US? Did Trump forget that China has said it will displace the US as the world’s super-power? Did someone forget to tell Trump that China is building up its military to defeat the US…and has publicly said so!

Trump says a Xi is “great leader,” “a friend,” and someone he has a “fantastic relationship” with. Really? Think about all of that for a minute. Let that sink in.

That’s the first humiliation.

And then it got worse…

Trump begged seriously asked for China’s help to end the Iran War. What? If we have won the Iran War as Trump has repeatedly claimed, then why ask for China’s help to “end” the war? Yeah, that exposes the truth…we have not won, and we are not winning, the war with Iran. If we “won” then we wouldn’t need to beg ask China for anything. So there is the second humiliation…our President admits we are losing, or have lost, a war that Trump claimed we would win in a day. The greatest military in the world and we can’t beat Iran…whoa!

And then is got worse…

Then it was Xi’s turn…thankfully, in private…Xi “strongly warned” Trump about Taiwan. Reportedly, Xi said, “Taiwan independence and cross-strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water.” And should the US “mishandle the situation” it could lead to “clashes,” “conflict,” or an “extremely dangerous situation.” That is diplomatic speak for…we go to war.

There are some reports that China agreed it may help diplomatically with Trump’s failure with Iran…but only if Taiwan is clearly seen by the US as Chinese territory and the US will not interfere. And of course Trump didn’t push back by all accounts. Third humiliation.

And then is got worse…

Trump goes over there thinking he holds the upper-hand…that he will manipulate China into doing his will based on flattery, trade, and money. Wrong! Look, China is 18 times older than the US…in 4500 years they have seen it all…and flattery will get you nowhere with them. Further, China is not all about money when it comes to the US…China is all about power…and money is only a tool to that end. Trump misread the situation from the beginning and his ignorance has proven the US and himself to be weak and begging for China’s help…exactly what China wants. And the whole world sees it out in the open…plain for all to see. Fourth humiliation.

You know I am not a Trump worshiper or even a fan of the man. As President he is ruining our economy and driving prices through the roof for every-day families. Inflation is out of control and getting worse…far worse since Trump took office. Biden left Trump a mess…and Trump is making it a disaster.

And then it got worse…

Every objective analysis shows the US not winning the war in Iran. Sure, we are winning battles, destroying lots of buildings and ships, and of course…killing thousands of civilians…including almost 200 little girls in school. Yea USA!!!

Oh, and we are the scorn of the entire world because we are hurting every country’s economy. And of course…we’ve destabilized the entire middle-east. And then there is the little detail of enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza and now spreading it to Lebanon and Syria. Yea USA!!!

Okay, I apologize…I should not say “Yea USA!!!” The people of the USA don’t want the war, don’t support the war, and want it to end…at least by a margin of 2-to-1. The entire rest of the world is almost unanimous against the war…except Israel. And they wouldn’t be against the war…they started it and brought Trump into it like a good little boy. So if I am being 100% honest and fair…it should be “Yea Trump and the War Mongers!!!” It’s just that doesn’t have the same ring to it. Oh well…you got the point.

Here we are with yet more humiliation at the hands of Trump:

• Trump publicly butt-kisses Xi like a little kid…or a weak leader to a great leader.
• Trump makes it public to the world that we can’t beat, and haven’t beaten, Iran in the war that Trump started and bragged about winning.
• Xi sternly warns the US over Taiwan, threatening war, and Trump sits there like a scolded dog…weakness again.
• Trump shows the entire world that he seriously misunderstood the diplomatic trip to China and meeting with Xi. And puts it on the world stage for all to see. Not just “weakness again”…but, a serious showing of ignorance and/or stupidity…and most of all vulnerability.

It amazes me how Trump keeps screwing up over and over and over again…and just hides his embarrassment and humiliation…or he it totally unaware of it all.

What a shame how far the US has fallen…the US being led around by the nose by a madman. Pray for the mid-term election outcome to put the brakes on him and his disaster.

Then again…if you and your family are making billions of dollars a year off your influence and decisions as President…what does he care!?!

Hey wait a second… just before Trump’s trip to China, when a reporter asked how much Americans’ financial stress was motivating him to make a deal with Iran here’s Trump’s reply, “Not even a little bit. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” What!?!?!?!?!?!?!  The truth cometh forth !

What made it worse…later he tried to backtrack that statement meaning it matters more that Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon. Ah, what!?!?! Hang on a minute…let’s do a little reality & fact check on Trump…

1. Then why did he say it that way originally? Is he losing track of what he thinks and says?
2. Since he bombed Iran last year he has been bragging about “obliterating” Iran’s nuclear capability. Was he lying all along? Did he not destroy their nuclear capability? And if not, why did he lie that he did? If he did, then why use it as an excuse now?
3. And if we won this year’s Iran War, like Trump said we did, then why is he worried about Iran’s nuclear capability? Didn’t he already destroy that capability? If not, then how can he claim we won the war?

Here’s the really sad part…his ego and narcissism shows…In a later interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Trump was shown the earlier clip of his comments and said, “That’s a perfect statement. I’d make it again.” Who in the world talks like that, or would say something like that, other than someone with a God Complex?

But, I can be “real” for a minute…

It is FACT that Trump has argued numerous times that tariffs on China, trade war impacts on farmers, oil price spikes families, and sanctions were necessary for the good of the country. And Trump has often downplayed economic pain, prioritized other goals over families’ household costs, and seemed detached from ordinary financial struggles of US families. But many of those times he was talking about “temporary sacrifice for a bigger goal”…according to his worshipers supporters.

Here’s the problem…Families in the US are seeing terrible and rising inflation, high gas/diesel prices at the pump, grocery costs going up every month, and people suffering from war anxiety along with all of the justifiable economic frustrations…to say nothing if the intense political division and open hostility. Then they hear our President say, “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” At the very least he is tone deaf and stupid mistaken to say such a thing. At the worst…he was telling the truth…and that is actually how he see US families.

I am kinda ready to see Trump start the whole America First & Make America Great Again thing…
