    Why would China care?

    Fat Ass is literally shoveling 80 years worth of soft power right into Chinas mouth. That’s worth 1000 tic toks or his stupid tariffs.

    Fucking idiots.

      I’m pretty sure this will involve having another Reich wing asshole running the US tictok so they can increase their propaganda reach. They don’t give a single fuck about Americans power elsewhere, they only care about ruling America.

    I knew Trump would ally with Russia over our actual allies, or maybe I should say historical allies, but China getting better treatment to surprised me. It was such a boogyman for his first term, now no one cares hes cozying up to them.

    This is playground level negotiation and I just don’t understand why those in the shadows who understand something of the complexity of the world are letting him run around with dog shit on a stick.

    This is what he wants to use his supposed leverage for? Of course it is. Stupid fucking timeline.
