MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport.

MAGA is in spin mode heralding the “red carpet treatment,” but the visit is already at a rocky start.

Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xi’s vice president, Han Zheng; China’s Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu.

I’m sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.

Oh, Donald, bless your tiny, fragile heart. You jet off to China, bragging about your “very good friend” Xi and how he respects you more than anyone else ever has… only to get greeted by the diplomatic equivalent of the intern who draws the short straw?

No red carpet, no strongman handshake for the cameras—just the B-list bureaucrats side-eyeing the guy who spent years calling China a “bankrupt” enemy while secretly begging them for deals.

MAGA’s out here spinning “historic welcome” like it’s not the most obvious airport snub since your last rally crowd.

How’s that “Art of the Deal” working out when even dictators won’t pretend to like you? 😂

Keep coping, folks. Trump’s day is officially ruined.

In the Spanish town of Coria del Río, around 700 residents are descendants of 17th-century samurai who stayed behind after a Japanese diplomatic mission led by Hasekura Tsunenaga. These families carry the surname "Japón," originally "Hasekura de Japón," as a legacy of their unique ancestry.

"Let me see if I've got this right," said Vimes. "Uberwald is like this big suet pudding that everyone's suddenly noticed, and now with this coronation as an excuse we've all got to rush there with knife, fork and spoon to shovel as much on our plates as possible?"

"Your grasp of political reality is masterly, Vimes. You lack only the appropriate vocabulary."

War, War, War

War is here, drumming song. Death bodies are too long. Hide them quickly, so they don't see. Don't talk, or you will pay fee.
