If you say: the U.S. is “wrecked” Trump went to Beijing seeking Xi’s help the White House issued “fake commitments” China would never side with the U.S. …then the natural inference is that Trump was in a disadvantaged or weaker position relative to China. That inference is not irrational. It follows from the structure of your own argument. Dumbass clown, not worth the time and a waste of good oxygen. 🤡

I don’t think I ever claimed Trump was weak or China “owns” the situation, but I understand you can’t hardly read (what exactly are you teaching in Guatemala? Math?) so all is forgiven. Yes, the readout this morning from the White House about China emphasizing on the SOH needing to be open and Iran must not have nukes is totally fake, as not collaborated by the Chinese readout at all, and is against the common sense that China would side with the US against Iran. Of course, I understand you Magalanders don’t have an iota of common sense. As to quotes, here is one from Lindsey Graham: x.com/clashreport/st…
Clash Report@clashreport

Senator Graham on China: They are buying oil cheaply from Iran, keeping their war machine going. Same thing with Russia. If they stopped buying that oil, those wars would end. All I’m asking China to do is help us open up the Strait of Hormuz, help us stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon — because I think they would use it — and help end the bloodbath in Ukraine. If you help us, I’ll be very grateful. If you don’t — and you continue to prop up these regimes — I’ll do business and put tariffs on you Tuesday. Xi is not crazy. He’s not irrational. If he believed President Trump would crush his economy for propping up Iran and Russia, I think his behavior would change.

I’m struck by how often Trump referred to Xi as his “friend” and a “great leader.” Xi Jinping, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, is a dictator. He also offered no such reciprocal praise for Trump. That asymmetry makes Trump appear in a visibly weaker position.

Trump has never had alcohol in his life. China gave him a beverage to toast, and Trump drank it. This is a very subtle, but STRONG statement on who’s really in charge.

The claims being made by this clown are not supported by the actual record. Trump did NOT say he went to Beijing because the U.S. was “wrecked” on Iran. Before the trip, he explicitly said: “I don’t think we need any help with Iran.” He later added that he would welcome useful help from Xi. Source: aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/12… Marco Rubio’s argument was not that China “owns” the situation. His point was that China has its own economic interest in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open because Chinese shipping and energy flows depend on it. Source: foxnews.com/media/marco-ru… The White House readout stated that the U.S. and China agreed the Strait of Hormuz should remain open and that Iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon. China’s Foreign Ministry also confirmed Middle East discussions occurred. Source: foxnews.com/politics/white… So the claims that: • Trump was trapped • Xi had leverage over him • the commitments were “fake” • China strategically dominated the exchange …are assertions requiring evidence, not established facts.

Sorry but his was beyond worthy of a serious repudiation. On Iran alone, the US is entangled, exposed and completely wrecked, that’s one of the reasons why Trump went to Beijing to seek Xi’s help, as explicitly expressed by the likes of Marco Rubio and the obnoxious old bad Lindsey Graham, to the point that the White House came up with a readout with fake commitments from China… 😝

Nothing this clown has asserted of automatically proves Trump was “weak,” that China “owns” the situation, or that White House commitments were “fake.” Those are conclusions, not evidence. No quotes. No timelines. No policy specifics. No supporting data. Just assertions stacked on assertions.

@jw_stickman @McFaul Some Americans can never pull their heads out of their ass, as deluded and out of touch as a human can ever be. Trump has Xi’s hands tied. 😝

For the first time in memory, a US president visits China and it is clear that China is the greater power in that relationship; the bigger military power, the bigger economic, scientific and industrial power, and the better liked country globally. A huge shift happened, but we are not yet fully aware that it did happen because it didn't involve great violence. But China is not a rising power: it is the big power, just without the self-aggrandizing and narcissism, the glut, and the drama

@VerminusM What do these protests accomplish? For the Left, it’s just a chance to be violent with no consequences.

Why is the left so much better and quicker at organizing protests than the right? By the time the right has 200 people in a square with signs their kids painted on Bristol papers, the left has 100,000 people with professionally printed giant posters. What's their edge?

🚨 JUST NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio drops a massive warning to the WHOLE WORLD "You better have more than strongly worded STATEMENTS!" "Are you gonna normalize a country claiming to control an international water? Then that precedent will be repeated a DOZEN OTHER PLACES." "Iran now claims that they own, that they have a right to control an international waterway. They claim that they have a right to control it." "What is the world going to do about that? Is the world going to accept that Iran now controls an international waterway? Because if the world is prepared to accept that, then be ready!" "Because there's like 10 other countries that are going to start doing the same thing in their international waterways or in international waterways near their countries."

The reasoning “Hitler was a socialist, therefore all socialists are Hitler” is a logical fallacy called guilt by association or hasty generalization—it tries to assign the characteristics of one individual (or a mischaracterized label) to an entire, diverse group. Just because you’re a (reputed) genius doesn’t mean you always use or understand logic!

How, exactly, did we go from a $200 million privately-funded ballroom, to a $1 billion taxpayer-funded one?

The ballroom started as a $200M (later 300-400) project Trump said he'd fund privately with donors. No taxpayer funds were to be used. Recent Senate GOP proposals (post-security incident) now seek $1B in federal funds via reconciliation for Secret Service upgrades/security tied to the East Wing work, including the ballroom. It's not fully approved yet and shifts from the original private funding pledge. Construction is underway amid lawsuits.

@grant_melson @NodeChuck OK, so how should he do it? sell off a bunch of stock which melts the price of his own companies which in turn ruins people’s retirement funds? 😂 it’s unrealized paper gains. It’s a number on a screen not gold sitting in a dragons den like he’s Scrooge mcduck.

Are we really doing this again? Of course we are. Under the first amendment, the White House may not pressure ABC to fire a comedian because of his jokes. Melania is entitled to her opinion, of course, but unfortunately, this administration has shown itself more than willing to pursue their enemies for their speech.
First Lady Melania Trump@FLOTUS

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

A Farce in Four Acts: 1. Trump skipped the WHCD every single year. 2. Except this one. 3. All of a sudden there’s a shooter in the lobby. 4. Trump: “This shooting is a clear example of why we need a new ballroom!” It hardly gets any dumber than this.
