Took his clown car of US oligarchs to a communist dictatorship and was greated by children lol. Got told to step off Taiwan and stop his pointless war in Iran. Returned home with nothing, tail between his legs, like a fat dejected pedophile. What a fucking embarrassment.

China greeted Pedolf with what he likes the most

The other thing that's awesome is that the Chinese army band played YMCA when Trump arrived , instead of the National anthem.

No Fucks Given.

Hopefully treating Trump as a toddler, throwing shade and joking at his expense is about to be normalized in international politics.

Entry of the Gladiators would have been too on the nose.

And he loved it because it's exactly what he never got from his mommy.

A video was also shared on Threads of him being welcomed by President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing by a very thin crowd of waving children.

The visual was almost unbelievable, as online sleuths suspected China deliberately trolled Trump with his childlike welcome.

I thought Trump loves children, maybe they weren't trolling, but just giving him what he wants.

Trump only loves kids when he is raping them or eating them. otherwise he hates kids.

Fucking duh! Xi isn’t a moron like trumpalina

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 8 points 21 hours ago

Xi said with fancy words China is equal or better than USA so let's stay friends, because you won't like an angry China. Trump seems to understand.
