Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I hope he doesn't come back

I'm guessing paedophilia is illegal in China?

What an absolute bitch.

Imposes tarriffs on China. China hits back.

Doubles tarriffs. China hits back and says "fuck you, we're done with the tattiff game. Well play the fucking world trade game. We don't need you."

Trump pauses tarriffs. 😳

Reduces tarriffs. 🥺

Lies about having phone call with Xi. 😅

Cancels paused tarriffs. 😬

Is now going to China, what, to beg for forgiveness? Suck Xis cock?

Honest to god, if you voted for a strongman you're a fucking idiot. This is the most impotent pussy bullshit I have ever fucking seen. From anyone. Let alone the leader of the free world.

A succulent Chinese meal.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

He's excited to put some millage on his new $400 million bribe

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

Please lock him up. The states will get over it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Nobody cares any more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Only if he promises not to come back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe he's going to thank Xi for the 90 day reprieve.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Xi should say trump can come, but Xi's kinda busy right now so there are some mid and low level Chinese dignitaries he can meet with if he still wants to come.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Just give him tickets to museums and some handlers

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Even better, just leave Donny hanging in a waiting room while playing Obama speeches in the background. There's a rumor going around that they did something similar with Trump's phone calls, they'd put him on hold with Obama speeches playing instead of hold music and just left him there until he'd hang up.

Oh, is it spring again already? The smell of love is in the air.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Art of the deal! Make yourself look like a fucking idiot and then come groveling to China to kiss Xi's toes like a bitch. 5d chess, a true jeanius. Fucking moron.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

"Most Americans don't realize how complicated the Weave can be, part of the process may very well be calling hundreds of times with no answer, claiming greatest biggest deals ever are on the horizon and then flying out in person when they don't materialize. He's genius level businessman after all."

Pretty hard form trump to physically kneel and kiss Xi’s ass over the phone.

Fart of the deal

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, but xi doesn't have to/ want to see him.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Invite Trump then cancel once he arrives.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

no invite him, then bar him midflight from china.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He'd just divert to Moscow to get new orders directly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

china can tell russia to accidentally use its AA on an enemy aircraft.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao how fucking hilarious would it be if they deported orangeboi

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Let's get some miles on that Qatari jet.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Good idea. I'd make him wait 6 hours before telling him xi had to prune some plants.

The Art of Looking Weak. Better have a big military parade.
