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 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.

That still doesn't address what I said either.

It does. The narrative that Trump was working for Putin is so obviously false.

I never said Trump was working for Putin. You're putting words in my mouth again. Why can't you have an honest discussion?

That's what the first impeachment was about, working with Putin to influence the election.
