Trump China visit: US leader strikes warmer tone with Xi Jinping

[Airstrip One]

dump is punk ass bitch who won't say shit to anyone's face.

He talks shit when he's in front of his racist audience, but folds like a cheap suit when he's in front of real men.

I would hardly call the general secretary of a communist party a "real man."

I'm pretty sure 'shortly after Jan '19' is a rather definitive statement.

Maybe you need to phrase your questions differently?



'I'll take impeachment proceedings for $1000 Alex'.

Not really; because the word "shortly" is subjective to the one using it.
Shortly could be seen as 1 day, or 1 week, or 1 month, or 6 month's, or 1 year or 4 years.

Therefore; your usage of it does not make it a definitive statement.

That's because the exact date hasn't been determined yet. But, it gives you a rather concise time frame for the event. I don't know many people who use the term 'shortly after' when referring to an event four years down the road.

Then what is that "concise time frame" where this is going to occur; because "concise" is something that is a definitive and time frame usually refers to a start and stop minute/hour/day/week/month/year/etc.?

ccording to Chinese customs data, China's trade surplus with the U.S. expanded by 12.2 percent in October from a year earlier to $26.6 billion. For the first 10 months of the year, the total surplus widened to $223 billion. China is the U.S.'s No. 3 export market, just behind Canada and Mexico.

Speaking in Beijing on Thursday, Trump laid the blame for the ballooning deficit on "past administrations for allowing this out-of-control trade deficit to take place and to grow."
