Just to be clear … Trump flew to Beijing, China, to deliver a white surrender flag personally.

Trump didn’t gain a single thing for America. He and his billionaire entourage left China after strengthening the position of Xi Jinping and putting America in a far weaker spot than when he had flown to Beijing.

America would have remained in a stronger position economically and diplomatically if Trump had just stayed home and golfed.

Yes, regarding his "job". But...
It was just a business trip obviously.
Nothing to do with the USA or the oval office.
But who to tell.

@HamonWry America being in a stronger position if Trump did nothing has been the story of the past decade.

How Trump got away with hiding his Chinese business

By stonewalling on his tax returns, the president has kept “inherent and incessant conflicts” under wraps.

Whatever happened to those Chinese bank loans?

Pomp, pageantry but precious little to show for Trump’s Beijing excursion

No swift end to the Iran war, uncertainty over Taiwan and only vague outlines of commercial deals … but the US president did get to bask in the company of Xi Jinping

Trump ordered to pay $355m to New York for lying to banks

In the civil case, a judge ordered the penalty to keep him and his sons from continuing "fraudulent ways".

@HamonWry Maybe the real purpose was to check on the Trump Mobile T1 shipments, but he had to stop by Xi as a courtesy?

@HamonWry the whole world would be better off if he and his cabinet played golf 24/7
