BEIJING — President Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was going swimmingly until Trump made a crucial (but common) error: gifting Xi a large jar of honey from the White House beehive.
"Here, I know you love this stuff," Trump said, handing a dismayed Xi a ceramic jar clearly labeled in large print "HUNNY."
"No, I don't!" Xi then shouted. "Where you hear this?"
Trump seemed confused by the reaction. "It's just well known," he said. "Right? Or was it your little pig friend who likes the honey? Or the tiger?"
"I no have pig friend!" Xi yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Trump said. "And you know, I almost didn't recognize you without the red shirt."
"Meeting over!" Xi screamed. "Stay away from Taiwan!" Xi then stormed off while Trump shrugged, with sources revealing that he did not understand what had gone wrong.
"I don't understand it," Trump reportedly told one aide. "I thought he loved honey. The intel said he loved honey. Now he's mad, apparently. We've got bees at the White House now. Beautiful bees. Many people are afraid of them. Not me. The bees are afraid of me, believe me. It's too bad. Maybe we'll find the depressed donkey and give it to him."
At publishing time, Xi had reportedly been seen huddled in a side room, greedily eating all the honey.

Xi has a nickname: Pooh Bear!
Troll Level: God, if it actually happened.
In China, you can go to the gulag for the rest of your life (however short that may be), for calling Xi, Pooh!
In the Forbidden City, you are forbidden from make any Pooh jokes!
Hunny Pot...Works every time.
AI summary:
Comparisons between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Winnie the Pooh are heavily censored in China as they are used to mock the president. Originating in 2013, the memes often compare Xi to the bear, with other leaders occasionally added, such as Barack Obama (Tigger) or Shinzo Abe (Eeyore).
As I read on...I said...it’s gotta be the BEE.
Obama called him his Boo, and not Pooh.
Big Mike wasn’t happy.
It’s better than when Obama gave Queen Elizabeth an ipod full of rap songs
In China, you can go to gulag for smiling or laughing on the anniversary of the death of Chiang Kai-shek.
That country must be a real paradise to live in.
The Bee.
What else can be said.
Don’t forget moochie touched the Queen.
No doubt moochie was told that protocol and proper etiquette prohibited it.
I’m convinced she was told that and in true black woman with attitude fashion, she wasn’t going to be told what she could and couldn’t do.
Sounds just like something that beeoch would do.
This reminds me of the Chinese soldier in Tibet, mistaking Phil Silvers for the Dalai Lama on a British woman’s T-shirt.
Which version of Phil Silvers? Sgt. Bilko?
and lest we forget Jimmuh kissing the Queen Mum on the lips "Even my dearly departed husband was not allowed to do that!" She later said
In a later statement, XI commented “Oh bother...”
How many taste testers and for how long before Xi tastes it?
Worse. It was his speeches.
He’s great in “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.”
