Fuck both of these fascist assholes, but it's fun to watch Xi twist his boot on Trump's nose

Trump lies about everything

It's in his nature. He's a toddler

He's old too, and at least a former drug addict. He could have thought it took place?

Surely not? 😂

Or he doesn’t understand the concept of back-channel negotiations.

Trump is negotiating with himself because China refuses to. It's pretty sad.

We've all been there. Walking around the UN for hours and no one wants to negotiate with you, so you end up going to the secret bathroom and negotiate with yourself. It may not be the same as negotiating with someone else, but at least it produces results and has a quick resolution.

Trump is an ant to be squashed and forgotten. Xi.

What if they’re both lying.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

They kind of are. Trump has a phone call with China, and pretends it’s “negotiations” even though there’s nothing formal about it. China is saying that talks aren’t happening, even though back channel communication is active right now.

I tend to agree with China’s viewpoint a little more right now, but they are both intentionally trying to paint a different picture here.

Liar! Liar! World's on fire!
