foreign leaders treated Trump like a “chump” and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego.

Flattery and pomp from leaders like Xi, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Russian president Vladimir V. Putin seem to have been all that was required to get in Trump’s good graces

Under no circumstances should this imbecile be allowed to be president, of anything, ever.

It wasn’t his literal lunch but then again maybe that too since I doubt Trump would eat Chinese food in China.

Not until they can clear the rampant conflicts of interest that repeatedly come up, for sure.

Can’t be bothered to prevent the issue, and constantly nominate a shill… so why would you give them an easy out?
