Xi isn’t going to call….Krasnov is dumber than I thought if he believes Xi will bend the knee…..
Krasnov doesn’t have any cards….

lozzadarlo.bsky.social•8 days ago

I suspect Xi doesn't kiss arses. I think trump may want to beg forgiveness, pucker up and hope that Xi is having a really good day. If trump is really lucky he might be allowed to sit on the naughty step. The rest will remain more than a tad worried for quite some time.

goawayforgood.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s like the girl who won’t call the boy and the boy won’t call the girl. Before cell phone we all sat by the phone waiting for the call, we were 13 years old.

timbertops.bsky.social•7 days ago

So you’re suggesting they’re being silly & petty like…. girls. Thanks for that 🙄

tastemyrainbow.bsky.social•8 days ago

Comparing Trump to little girls is insulting to little girls.

kanngera.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes, you are right. I apologize.

creditsndebits.bsky.social•8 days ago

Came here to say this. It's also sexist. There's got to be a better way to call Trump petty than a gender opposite comparison.

blooming-burbs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agree. Was going to say something similar.

unraveled5.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, you are going to end up insulting someone by using them as an example of being petty .... It is an immature power game he is playing ...

cherryredtoes.bsky.social•8 days ago

Sure but why is it young girls we use as the epitome of immature pettiness when older white dudes are showing themselves to be the champions of it?

scout0914.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Chinese knows how to patient; whereas Trump doesn’t have any. You know who is going to be standing by his phone: https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:fdd67agbxjqtf4lgmbwe7mgt/bafkreiep5paa7iuulk54vzvmdvux73abenvcsgmdqwwtmgxhlfvhotci2u@jpeg

The sexism here is totally unnecessary.

dinainmaine.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, except that it’s two men and we still insist that it’s women who get into these petty ego battles.

Exactly. These are grown men. Let's not lose sight of that.

Xi has nothing to lose and no one to hold him to account. Perhaps trump should have considered this before trying to extort China.

The Chinese culture is very much about “face”(dignity). Xi will not be calling…

morecowbelle.bsky.social•8 days ago

Calling a man a girl, as an insult, is fucked up. Get your shit together.

rovinghipster.bsky.social•8 days ago

This Sh!t ALRDY BE Together! LOOK, Manfred:
Calling a Thirsty Broken-❤️'d Fanboy
a Thirsty Broken-❤️d Fanboy
(without directly STATING he's a
Thirsty Broken-❤️d Fanboy)
is what is known as A WITTY+ACCURATE ANALOGY.
Trump has😍OPEN CRUSHES😍on 'em ALL: Xi JinPing, Putin, Orban, Maduro, Erdogan...

listentoshaft.bsky.social•8 days ago

Xi is an ally of Putin. Trump is increasingly favorable towards Putin. Then how does Trump negotiate with Xi ?

While We the People were busy worrying about Donald’s admiration of Vlad he was accomplishing the nearly impossible. In only days Donnie managed to align the interests of Canada, Mexico, the EU, and Japan and SE Asia at large with those of China.

Trump on a love-call with Putin:

"You hang up first!

"No, you hang up first.

"No, you hang up first..."

kanngera.bsky.social•8 days ago

Like a 16 yr old girl waiting by the phone,
“Will he call? I hope he’ll call. What did I do? Do these pants my ass look big?”

ejn71.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump's afraid that Xi might decline to take his call...

ridder.bsky.social•8 days ago

"dozens of countries have reached out to the administration about tariffs"

Of course they did. That's why Trump backed off the majority of tariffs for 90 days, because he was winning! 🤪

quin664.bsky.social•8 days ago

It truly is either middle school or just as possible: life in the memory care unit.

khazad-dum.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump: Hello? [to Xi]

Trump: How Are you?

Trump: Have you been alright?

Trump: Through all of those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights.

Trump: That's what I'd say.

Trump: I'd tell you EVERYTHING.

Trump: If you'd just pick up that telephone!

When will America?

Xi owns Trump who is sitting by the phone asking, "Has he called yet" and NO! I am not calling first. Nah nah nah,

editgirlnyc.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why use girls to illustrate these men’s behavior?

Do you think your analogy will make the reality more comprehensible?

We get it: these fools are petty in a way that only the male ego can be.

No need to drag Susie and Katie in to it. They’re still dealing with JFK’s presidential fitness test.

mitchking.bsky.social•8 days ago

They have the self-acclaimed “deal maker” right where they want him.

dharmaqueen.bsky.social•8 days ago

The complete inability to read the room. That call isn't coming. Ever. Xi needs to humiliate him to retain dominance.

Shoulda been a princess phone (which was a compact pink rotary device).

I’m from before the innovation was xtra long cords. I went to the NY World’s Fair where touch-tone was intro’d. My grfather was chief of the crew who installed the 1st party lines in IA and the first private lines in Chicago. My grmother was the first woman supervisor at “MaBell” in her region. Old.

blupotluv.bsky.social•8 days ago

What about that beautiful chocolate cake they had at Mar-a-Lago?

They never say which countries or they say billions of dollares are coming back to America, but don't say where or from which company. They also say they're find billions of dollars of fraud, but won't reveal what it is. Must be a secret.

gregglade.bsky.social•8 days ago

It is definitely a lie.
But you actually knew that. You wanted to use the sarcasm path. 👍
I'm just making it clearer for those without a sarcasm scenting mechanism.

All these number are made up. If they had actually done a deal, they'd be specific in their celebration.

alliemay3.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump started this tariff war with the world. He thinks every country is going to gravel and beg. I don't see China doing that at all. Trump disseminated our friendship with Canada and Mexico. I can't hardly believe people stand behind this moronic behavior.
