Biden Skillfully Handled Xi Jinping’s U.S. Visit in Ways Trump Simply Never Could

Had Donald Trump been the U.S. president hosting this week’s APEC meetings, I have no doubt that the headline from the event would have been unchanged. It would have been: “He’s a dictator.”

The only difference is it would be Xi Jinping who was saying it to describe Trump.

Other than that, though, a Trump-hosted APEC meeting would likely have been unrecognizably different from the successful and productive forum hosted by President Joe Biden.

If Jill Stein was working for Putin why would she publicly show herself sitting at the same table?

If Republicans were working for Putin would they fly to Moscow on the 4th of July?

What's hilarious is that all that nonsense caused Trump's policy to be far tougher on Russia in terms of economic sanctions as well as escalation over Ukraine.

Notice how not one liberal replied to this because you all don't actually study US policy.

Or we just think your claim about Trump was stupid.

Trump did in fact escalate sanctions on Russia, as well as provide addition funding to Ukraine's military.

as well as provide addition funding to Ukraine’s military.

Someone doesn't remember why he was impeached the first time...

That doesn't address what I said at all. Now I suppose it's time for you to insult me again.

Yes it does. Trump did in fact give more weapons to Ukraine's military.

Oh man, what a defense!

"Your honor, if I was the murderer, why would I have been at the scene of the crime, holding the murder weapon in my hand? I mean, that would be too obvious!"

You have literally no evidence, just wild accusations

What wild accusation did I make? Show me please.

You insinuated my argument defending Jill Stein against being a russian asset was not a credible defense. The accusations against her are wild and unsubstantiated.

I made no accusation. I just mocked your absolutely bonkers comment saying that Jill Stein publicly sitting down and spending time with Putin proves that she is not affiliated with Putin. The term "wild and unsubstantiated" is something you might want to reflect deeply upon.

The claims are literally wild and unsubstantiated. A woman trying to run for president has the right to. If democrats are going to make the accusation then they need evidence.

What was the meeting about? What did they say to each other? You don't know and don't care.

Dude, I made no claims. I was mocking you. And you're somehow reading into that some anti-women's rights message? Where are you coming up with this nonsense? You can't be serious.... are you a troll?

And I'm mocking you for supporting such a ridiculous narrative attacking me.

Ah yes, the "i know you are but what am i" response. Got it.

If mocking is your goal you're doing a shit job of it. You've been on the defensive and getting upset about things nobody said this entire time. If that's what mocking looks like to you, yours must be a confusing mind to live in.

Are you actually saying someone who works for Putin wouldn't publicly show herself with Putin?

Yes she would know better than to do that.

Based on what evidence?

Her successful career as a physician shows she is capable of intelligent thought, something you struggle with.

Insulting me is not evidence. Neither is saying she's a successful physician. That has nothing to do with why she appears with Putin.

I'm not surprised you're resorting to insults though.

Baseless accusations are not evidence.

I didn't make any accusations. But that didn't stop you from insulting me.

Are you actually saying someone who works for Putin wouldn’t publicly show herself with Putin?

This you? You're accusing her of working for Putin with no evidence.

That is not an accusation, nor was it specifically about her. Which I think you know. But you'd rather hurl insults at everyone than actually have a legitimate discussion.

Good that you accept there is no evidence to support her working for Putin.

I never said that either. Are you really unable to have a discussion without insults and putting words in people's mouths?

Are you actually saying someone who works for Putin wouldn’t publicly show herself with Putin?

This you?
