Flushing Decency: Inside Trump's Useless China Summit and the Cost to Americans

Edwin Eisendrath

What an epic fail Trump’s China summit was.

Trump’s gaping awe at the Imperial power of China’s communist leaders mirrors his gaping awe at the Imperial power of that other dictatorship, Russia. Trump loves these guys. He’s jealous that they don’t have to do pesky things like file financial disclosure documents or allow a free press.

President Xi talked about Taiwan. If Trump had a point of view about that democracy we didn’t hear it. We didn’t hear him mention the word freedom even once. That’s the sort of thing American presidents do when the visit countries that surveil their people and lock whole ethnic groups in forced labor camps.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about any of that.
