Summary
Donald Trump has reportedly invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to his January 20 presidential inauguration, though Xi’s response is unclear.
Trump’s transition team has also considered inviting other world leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
Known for his tough stance on China, Trump has named prominent China hawks like Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz to key positions.
Trump plans to reintroduce tariffs on Chinese imports and restrict Chinese ownership of U.S. assets.
I would love to here what his base has to say about this. I would also love to hear the grinding sound the rusty gears in their heads make as they try to figure out what their opinion on it should be.
Trump doing the opposite of what he said he would do is just his average Wednesday so I doubt they’ll even notice.
Even if they did, it’s a 4D chess move to trick the Democrats. It’s complicated. You wouldn’t understand. /s
I’m sure it’ll be like “it’s a power move you see” as if giving someone you dislike attention and a chance to reject your invitation is a best play with that goal in mind. Especially when he also asks Orban, who he famously likes, to come as well. Just waiting for the Kim Jong Un invite.
It’s the weave.
As in, he’s weaving his saliva right into Putin’s knob as America cheers him on.
“Trump did it, so it’s good.” It doesn’t matter if it’s directly in opposition of what he’s said or done before. Same concept as god in the bible.
I’m positive they’ll just claim it’s for diplomatic relations or something. (While repeatedly “joking” about annexing Canada which is obviously also diplomatic relations)
I think he’s just still mad about Trudeau beating him at his own game years ago with that stupid handshake thing he does. Made me proud.
Haha yeah that was great. Not the biggest fan of Trudeau but he’s been excellent at handling Trump
Exactly. You better bet that if we elect the dweeb-loser Polievre next year Trump won’t be saying the same shit since Pierre will slob his knob big time.
I do like that, excepting the laundry list of terrible things he’s done, Doug Ford seems to acting tough about standing up to tariffs. Nothing will ever redeem that shitheel but at least even that sack of crap knows to eventually draw a line.
Yeah Ford is just old school corrupt conservative which I still hate with a passion but much prefer to the more common populist social conservatives we’re seeing now. It’s sad that Ford actually looks sort of good in comparison with people like Trump or PP…
I’m happy that he’s fighting Trump on it though, even if it just kind of rings of “Only I’m allowed to screw Ontarians”
