    [Trump] added: “I’m going to say I have to speak to the person that right now is, you know, you know who he is, that’s running Taiwan.”

    How is he so completely unprepared?

        He’s not giving any prizes back for sure, they’re all for him to play with. Like South Park when Cartman gets the RC truck and makes Kyle watch while he plays. Think it’s the hippy episode, oh that’s a good one and been awhile too.

      For weeks the American President moved between Taiwan and Beijing, the policy changing two hours after his flight landed.

      Well I hope he keeps speaking with Mamdani and Xi because it’s only been after them that he’s actually had actual reasonable takes.

      “I’m not flying 9000 miles to fight a war” might be the most reasonable thing he’s ever said.

      Unfortunately, you can hear his comments directly after China and he keeps saying “I haven’t decided” and “I’m not going to say yet”. Which basically means he hasn’t been told by his billionaire friends and neocons in Washington what to do yet.

          I know it’s a joke. But, there is always a little bit of truth to good jokes. Moments like these really expose the people that are playing “team sports” with politics. A lot of people that haven’t been paying attention for the last 10-20 years try to place all of America’s problems on Trump that in moments like this (or Mamdani) they are not able to understand what Trump really is.

          These types of moments really expose that he is a vessel for the totality of the ruling class made up of Zionist, Boomers, Neocons, and more generally capitalist interest. He is the perfect vessel for following those interests. And every once in awhile, his dumb brain gets exposed to advice that convinced him that it will make him popular.

      No Chinese on the Epstein list, they probably don’t have it, unlike Putin. What they do have however, is a blank cheque.

        They have their own list, and prostitution is way more out in the open there, so it’s not blackmail material to them. But, they (and Russia and Israel) have a lifetime of recorded proof Trump is a sleazeball…and they’re cashing in.

      Nah, a cheque or large buy of trump/melania coin or a tacky ‘gold’ trophy would do it too.

        Have you seen him after the talks? He looked completely defeated. They have something on him. Probably pedo stuff.

        Simply being the most recent person to talk to Trump is enough. Maybe tomorrow Trump will talk with the president of Taiwan and have the opposite opinion afterward.

    He cannot retain information for longer so whatever the last person he talked with said that’s what he’ll repeat.

    What the advantage of Taiwan declating official independence? On the ground it is already.
