Not a "puppet" and more like a "school girl with a crush", in the same way he is with Putin. It is just Trump weakness how he drools all over these Leaders of US adversaries before he meets with them...
-----
- During a July 2023 Fox News town hall in Iowa, Trump praised Xi, stating: “Think of President Xi: central casting. Brilliant guy... Smart, brilliant, everything perfect.
There’s nobody in Hollywood like this guy”.
- During 2024-2025
Trump has made several “Hollywood / central casting” style remarks
- Trump repeatedly used language about Xi’s appearance, presence, and bearing that he often reserves for figures he personally admires.
- Variations included:
- Xi “looks the part,”
- “smart, sharp,”
- “top of the line,”
- and comparisons implying he had the stature of a movie character or archetypal leader.
Seems like it's AI day for the dumbest libtard JPP has to offer. AI is great, but when you're an idiot, it's useless. If you're too stupid to know what information to look for or what the most important details are when trying to understand anything, AI just makes you dumber than you were before using it.
Let me give you morons a reality check and do your best to understand it. I won't lie to you and knowing the truth can only help you in the long run.
First, your limp AI slop misses the entire point because of what you asked. Trump calls Xi 'brilliant' and 'central casting" because that's how he works, charm offensive mixed with raw American power. He flatters the ego then rams through deals no weak-kneed libtard ever touched. It's not opinion, the facts don't lie, just look it up.
Previous presidents, especially Obama and Biden, bowed, lectured, and let China run circles around America. Huge trade deficits exploded under both of them. China stole IP's, gutted manufacturing, and laughed while other presidents and our enlightened and equally stupid Europeans, played stupid.
Trump walked in, slapped tariffs on hundreds of billions in Chinese goods, renegotiated from the incredible strength of America, and forced the Phase One deal. Remember any of this?? He reduced the US goods trade deficit with China from a peak of over $419 billion down to around $308 billion by the end of his first term, a real drop
no prior admin had ever achieved. That's a lot of cash for a little dictator to lose.
In his current term the deficit has plunged further to about $200 billion, the lowest in decades. China knows they cannot steamroll him like they did Obama or Biden. That's one reason why leaders roll out the red carpet and cut better deals, much better, and it's not only China. American exceptionalism in their face, plus dominating leverage coupled with a little reality check proving our military superiority, gets results that no libtard moron could ever get, and history proves it.
I don't even need to include that Trump walks in with China already in a vise from the US naval blockade of the Strait. That move has left them scrambling because they depend on that route for nearly half their crude. Xi knows the blockade works and it is hurting him badly right now.
No need to add in the live fire demonstration from Operation Epic Fury. Chinese supplied air defenses radars and missile systems got absolutely smoked on day one. They proved no match for American firepower and that lesson is burning in Beijing right now.
Forget about the fact that on top of all that Xi understands he would not be safe past day two of any direct attack on America. We gave Xi two quick lessons that drove that fact home. The US has shown it can strike deep fast and with overwhelming precision while rendering their toys useless. That reality gives Trump leverage
no previous president ever had. I mean the Panama Canal and Greenland were also hard to swallow, but I just keep adding more reasons you're all idiots for buying the countless libtard click-bait bullshit articles you've swallow whole.
Now, run little libtards and paste this into your favorite AI. You can bend AI to insult a supermodel's looks, just like you can for any political stance, but it won't lie about undeniable facts for you. You'll need to edit those parts yourself. Then I'll point it out when you do. Well, I don't read any of Grimy Peckers replies because she's posting nothing but AI these days, but for the rest of you, make sure you know your facts. I'll save you the trouble, I just gave them to you.
Democrat presidents gave us record deficits, lost factories, while showing the world they had zero spine. Trump bends the world toward America and that's like nails on a chalkboard for you idiots. Like always, it doesn't matter how much you cry, bitch, and lie, the facts are still staring you in the face.
