In response, Trump looked bored, drooled a bit, and tried to change the subject to ballroom curtains.

In response Trumps says that’s it’s easy to get away, you just need to push your fingers towards each other

Acknowledging the question is tacit admission that China is on the rise and America is in decline. Not an easy question to answer.

Trump answered: sorry I don’t speak Chinamese.

Trump has no idea what that means. And most of you had to google it.

If they actually used that expression I guarantee the US looked around the room wondering what the hell that meant.

I went to a boat company in South Carolina, the boat…I said, “How is it?” He said “It’s a problem, sir, they want us to make all electric boats.” So I said, “Let me ask you a question,” and he said “Nobody ever asked this question,” and it must because of MIT, my relationship to MIT…very smart.
He goes, “I say what would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery. And the battery is now underwater. And there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there.” By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, did you notice that? A lot of sharks, I watched some guys justifying it today. “Well, they weren’t really that angry, they bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.” These people are quite…He said, “There’s no problem with sharks, they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming”. Now, I really got decimated in other people too, a lot of shark attacks. So I said, “So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat…10 yards. Or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery. The boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?”
Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, “You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, “I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time.” I’m not getting near the shark, so we can end that, we’re going to end it for boats.

Bro why would you Even ask Trump that question? Trump probably doesn’t even know what that is.
Apprehensive_Wolf217 on
Considering China is in another ascendant era, and now with more countries wanting to join BRICS because they see the writing on the wall concerning the petrodollar, Xi seems genuinely concerned about how the U.S. is reacting to losing the grip it’s maintained on the world for a hundred years. Sadly we just proved we are not about to concede that power without a fight. Our hegemony is what defines us as a nation since we drew up those articles of independence. Xi knows weakness almost always means desperation (see Russia) and he doesn’t wish for the U.S. to escalate. This pomp and lavish show for Trump is meant to appease and play to his ego. He’s way out of his league when it comes to dealing with Xi and China.

I’m sure Trump has no idea what that is. This is why you don’t vote in an idiot. And let’s face it, Xi, Putin, and Netanyahu have probably already lined Trump’s pockets to topple the U.S. from within.

Wait until trump brings that word back to the US. Replace tariffs with a new T word

Great analogy by Xi but way over trumps wig, also I think Trump is the very man to avoid war with China because hes a coward and a bully who picks on the little guys hes not looking for a fight.

Trump probably thinks Thucydides are Chinese titties.

This is a major swipe at the US basically saying “don’t attack us when we are bigger and better than you bro. “
Good thing is, Trump will think he is talking about a trap for the Tasmanian Devil or something.

Me: googling Thucydides trap.
ToriEvergreen on
Since no one has posted what it actually means:
“The Thucydides Trap, or Thucydides’ Trap, is a term popularized by American political scientist Graham T. Allison to describe an apparent tendency towards war when an emerging power threatens to displace an existing great power as a regional or international hegemon. “

Trump asks where the trap is so he doesn’t walk there

I wonder what Trump’s response was. Word for word. If you do not know what it even means as a President. Do not even think about going to war.
