Wow.

This is really one for the history books. Theirs and ours.

As long as they’re not Common Core.

Sheesh.

(Does anyone remember the Nixon trip to PRC? Not quite the same...)

MAGA!

It’s quite impressive. It is suitable for our leaders (both of them, America’s and China’s) to be admiring such true excellence.

Glad Trump got to see it. Glad he is in charge. Very glad.

Yellow being the color of imperial royalty in China, this sends a message.

Wasn’t it Obama’s trip there where they didn’t even drive up a stairway to the AF1 door, so he had to exit down a rear stairway? ...What a difference in showing of respect by Xi.

Mao was presumably superstitious, which may have been the reason he wouldn’t go there.

.What a difference in showing of respect by Xi.

Yes what a difference. But that respect was earned by our President from prior meetings here between the two where our President treated Xi with respect due his office. I am sure Obama would not have treated him as such and would have went off on one of his IIIIIMEMEMEME tirades. Respect is earned and President Trump is earning it BACK after 8 long years of Obama.

But our 547(?) other elected officials in the FERAL Government refuse to listen and we need to cast off our chains of oppression that these are placing around us. Elections will not fix them and they need to be removed from their nest. President Trump knows they are the weak link

This just reaffirms my belief that it was just as much if not more about sending a message about his consolidated power as it was receiving Trump with a positive show.

You realize that photo is fake. Check out the noise maker in his hand.

Agreed. It is more about boosting his ego than Trump's.

Maybe it was Xi’s best choice to try to impress Trump. Trump owns impressive properties around the world.

Barak didn’t even get met at the airport and stayed in a Motel 6 while Trump gets all the fanfare and eats at the Forbidden City.
