President Trump late Thursday invoked his predecessor in attempting to explain comments by Chinese President Xi Jinping as the two leaders meet during a high-stakes visit, blaming former President Biden and his administration for the U.S.'s "decline."

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline. Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden. Really humiliating stuff.

Der Dotard cannot take responsibility for any of his actions, no matter how big or small, so must find a scapegoat, preferably one which will not respond, so Diamond Joe is again invoked as a bogeyman. Not a surprise, from a guy who swears his ---- doesn't stink...

Biden has been manipulating the tariffs?

He sent $40 billion the president of Argentina?

Pocketed billions for his Qatar force one, Bored of Peace, White House renovations?

Biden sued Americans for hurting his feelings?

Biden started a war to distract from Trump being the number one name in the Epstein files?

It's sad Americans have decided not to hold Trump responsible for anything.

"Did Pres Trump even have a modicum of a clue about the meaning of Pres Xi's comment about the "Thucydides Trap"?"

Yes-he thought he had one at one of his golf courses...

Trump will continue to blame Biden and MAGAmorons will not their empty heads in agreement but, like it or not, about 70% of Americans don't believe his lies. It won't be long before he'll be getting openly laughed at when he tries to lie at public appearances.

Here we go again... some republcl0wn frat feck silk sheet son of a whatever... dons a republcl0wn mantle... after living a life of ------------- in all endeavors... because he really never had to be all that good at anything... while always treated as if he were.

Pigs who never earned the perks they have.

To quote Osama bin Laden... who nailed it when he surmised Bushturd2 in this way...

The Bush administration closely resembled the regimes in the Middle East. He stated that Bush, like Arab dictators, operated with "pride, arrogance, greed and thievery," and criticized the Patriot Act as a dictatorial mechanism to crush civil liberties under the guise of counter-terrorism.

Was he right? After all the bruhaha... Turd2 let him get away while he and Nuttywahoo reorganized the Middle East... turning it into the thing we were supposed to be afraid of.

... meanwhile on one of his numerous days off from the preznitsee... because until Trumpanzee... he took more golf holidays than any preznit in history... calling the "workin vacashuns"... 'sides bein' preznit is easy when you do degatin"... now watch this swing...however the Turd2 had a better staff who told him to dial that back after public backlash... I mean... there was a war going on... bad optics and all... change it to him "choppin' weeds with a sling blade... or ridin' a bike...

Here we are again...sosdd...

If the CHICOMS want Taiwan, now is the time. The US ran through all its exquisite weapons blowing up dirt in Iran. And on paper, Trump doesn't want a war. He'd just cage it as an opportunity to make deal. As if her knew how to make a deal.

Putin, Xi, whoever runs Iran right now...they hold the cards. They may not be playing 4D chess...but Trump couldn't get past checkers.
