Doesn't matter to his MAGA-hat supporters, most of whom have never been out of the county, except that one time they went down to the hill country to visit MeeMaw and get a few jars. Remember Trump I shoving his way to the front at the G-20 meeting? At this rate, the US will no longer be a member of the G-20, or will be relegated to 'observer' status, sitting on the sidelines. peddling US Treasury debt...

Shouldn't you be more concerned about whether it's the truth (it is) rather than who's saying it.=?

The Chinese have Trump's number. Everyone in the entire world has Trump's number. Except MAGA. But maybe even it does now based on the weasel act from Trump over the Epstein Affair.

Wow, you mean someone in one party is spreading negative opinions about foreign affairs about a POTUS that is in another party? I mean, I haven't ever seen that happen since every single day of Biden's term when Reps were doing it, every single day of Trump's first term when Dems were doing it, every single day of Obama's term when Reps were doing it, every single day of W's terms when Dems were doing it, every single day of Clinton's terms when Reps were doing it, every single day of Bush's term when Dems were doing it, every single day of Reagan's terms when Dems were doing it, and every single day of Carter's reign when Reps were doing it. Now, prior to 2000ish it wasn't every day but almost considering most of the time you had to read newspapers to see it. And I'm sure it happened every day prior to Carter but I was too young to really know.

But, this time it's true, right? This time it's worth saying, right?
