    “Better partner than Trump” is the lowest fucking bar that ever existed.

    I’m pretty sure the crack head living in the woods down the road is a better trading partner than Trump.

          I mean sure, if what America wanted to hear was “day 1 dictator”, “mass deportations”, “tariffs”, and “finish the job [in Gaza]”.

          He’s doing exactly what he promised. This is exactly what America voted for.

    he’s right.

    China has invested a ton of money and diplomatic efforts in Southeast Asia for the past 5 years, and for the next four all Xi has to do is point at Rump to negotiate closer ties.

    China is the safer economic and defense partner at least until rump is gone, and probably for much longer.
