Xi stood there wishing Trump would let go of his hand and probably wishing Trump would get the hell away from him!!!!!

Subtract fentanyl?? WTF? Why is Trump allowed to do these negotiations alone? He never has any clue what he's doing. It's always "like we've never seen before." Dear God, they always congratulate Trump on what a great job he's done and is doing. Better than any other president, lol. If everyone has been telling him these things, he has no idea that they are behaving in an obsequious manner to play on his easily manipulative ego to get what they want. Trump is the WORST negotiator! Giving up our AI technology was a TERRIBLE decision! Very, very bad thing to do.

Whatever Xi said to Trump in Asia must have been insane to make him pull this nuclear stunt while overseas
