Q: On TS, you said Xi made a reference to the decline of the US. But we didn't hear him say that.
TRUMP: He made a statement. It might not have been from him. It was somebody. But he said today the US was declining for the last 4 years. He said we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

(24,428 posts)This was a massive dog and pony show to show 1.4 Billion people in China that China dominates the United States now and our leader is an incompetent buffoon who Xi made fun of to his face over and over. It was all highly orchestrated to show the world who is in charge now and to embarrass Trump, but Trump is too dimwitted to know he was being paraded around as a joke.
