Trump's China Trip Exposed as So Empty That All He Got Was Seeds [View all]

Self-professed master negotiator Donald Trump has left China with not much more than the promise of a bag of seeds.

After a tour of Beijing’s sacred Zhongnanhai temple on Friday, where Chinese leader Xi Jinping vowed to send Trump the seeds of flowers the 79-year-old had admired at the compound, the president described his three-day trip as “incredible.”

But, in reality, Trump has left with zero tangible progress or diplomatic achievements. He failed to stand up to China on Taiwan or rare earth minerals, sold out American farmers, and secured only one deal, which fell short of expectations and tanked Boeing’s stock price.

The trip was designed to broker agreements on everything from tech to tariff relief to peace in the Middle East. Trump did not deliver.
