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 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”
