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.
This is not going to be a popular opinion on here, but when it comes to Asia, Biden’s foreign policy is almost indistinguishable from Trump’s.
Basically: aggressive ratcheting of trade and tech restrictions on China; gum up the international trading framework (e.g. WTO dispute resolution process); try to woo China’s neighbors but steadfastly ignore their requests for better trade access with the US; discourage Chinese scientists and students from coming to the US. All of these initiatives originated under Trump, and are being continued under Biden, with minor tweaks.
For different reasons though
Biden did not “skillfully handle” this at all. He foolishly damaged relations with China even further by calling Xi a dictator after going to the trouble of planning this summit.
If you cowards would vote for the Green party or any other party this wouldn’t be a problem. Instead, you support the Democrats who don’t even try to repair the damage the Republicans do. They both get rich from it together.
Why would i shoot myself in the dick when I could just watch you shoot yourself in the dick?
You do that every time you vote Democrat or Republican
Because I’m sure whoever you vote for has a good chance of getting into office. For sure the president in 2024 will be neither Biden nor Trump. It’ll be whoever you vote for. It’s not like we only have two viable options or anything…
Ironically the polling is showing RFK has a reasonable chace of winning. That opens up the lane for Jill Stein to compete as well.
No it doesn’t. No poll shows he has a reasonable chance of winning. That’s a lie.
20% absolutely is. He can easily gain 10% more to get to 30% and win it.
How can he ‘easily gain 10%?’ Why would it be easy? You say a lot of things without any evidence to support them.
Also, that was a telephone poll, so it was extremely inaccurate.
To be fair, skillfully is not a Trump skill
