China will flatter him with smooth talk and offer him nothing else as they know he's weak, vulnerable and a fool. Trump will falsely claim numerous victories and build upon his lies and then trash China when he gets home. Seen this same playbook for two years now, nothing new to anyone.

Normally criminals can't. In most places. But in America they are God Kings

Yep criminals are admired greatly in the US - Bonnie & Clyde, John Dillinger, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Donald Trump, John Gotti. They are legends in the US and held in high regard.

He's not getting any wins with China. Trump doesnt have the cards, he has no cards.

Unless he is playing Uno, in which case he holds *all* the cards.

The only cards he has are the business cards of doctors specializing in dementia and whatever is happening to his extremities, as well as fellow pdfiles

He'll agree to reduce the Chinese car import taxes in the US to 0% when he talks to Xi

If I were a betting man, I’d wager that China’s terms will include dropping tariffs on Chinese EVs/allowing production of Chinese EVs in the US and agreeing to let China take Taiwan.

Chinese EVs will be labeled as 'investment in manufacturing'

Trump will be sweet talked by the Chinese. They will feed his ego and he will give them whatever they ask for and brag about his fantastic negotiating skills. A win in Trumps book is whatever he can sell as one to what remains of his base.

Yes. Trump told everyone he and Kim "fell in love." All because Kim knew how to stroke his ego. Then after NK was done using their summits for photo ops and pro-Kim propaganda, they started threatening the US again. Meanwhile, the White House was minting North Korea US coins to celebrate. Now we have to pretend Iran getting nuclear weapons is the end of the world but North Korea, which just put into its constitution that they will detonate nuclear weapons if Kim dies, is alright and nothing to worry about. All because they played Trump like a fiddle and now Trump is afraid of saying anything bad about them. Xi is totally going to borrow their playbook.

"**stoke** his ego"

That may be the original wording, but the update also works, albeit with unpleasant imagery

I chose to believe that they literally fell in love and had a physical relationship.

> but North Korea, ..., is alright and nothing to worry about I don't think it is the sole reason. China would simply not agree on US troops at their boarders. Not to mention retaliation towards South Korea.

Fortunately for Trump, he can sell his remaining base literally a turd from his ass and they'll rabidly defend it's greatness.

Which means his magaloid fanbase is going to be sucking off Xi in 3... 2...

If he thinks Xi is going to give him some 'wins', then he's got less left upstairs than we believe.

And the Chinese, who are holding the upper hand and the moral argument (mostly because they don't care about middle eastern religious bullshit) are waiting for him.

Poor Tim Apple, stuck between his two favorite dictators with firmly opposing interests.

Don’t worry, Donnie will win the Chinese premier over with his patented “highly respected” compliment.  Art of the Deal.

After being made a fool by a smaller, poorer, weaker country, Dear Leader felt prepared to go confront the leaders of a bigger, rich, strong rival.

JarvisModeOn May 12, 2026 +8
China probably has the stronger hand here. If Trump needs a visible win after the Iran mess, Beijing knows it and will price that into any deal.

He will receive the Grand China Economic Award for all of his accomplishments to hand them the free marketplace on a sliver platter covered in spray tan drips and shit stained thumbprints.

CrimsonHeretic May 12, 2026 +3
China literally calls him "nation builder." Not for the US, but for China. Trump's dismantling of the US from within and destroying its reputation on a global scale has done absolute wonders for China.

He comes back and suddenly, "Good news everyone, you're gonna wanna sit for this one. I was able to talk to Xi, wonderful guy I don't if you heard. I was able to talk Xi and we solved the fuel problem. Wait until you hear this, your gonna love it. As of tomorrow, we will be selling those crazy china electric cars."

They can keep him.

blueye525 May 12, 2026 +5
He’s gonna get dogwalked without even knowing it, and come back bragging about it being a win.

Xi is salivating at the idea of negotiating with the weak, desperate idiot. I worry about Taiwan.

Blze001 May 12, 2026 +6
There's a 50/50 chance China invades Taiwan, given how "masterful" this guy is at making deals.

Approves Chinese ev cars. Proceeds to screw over the big 3 and all the employees that voted for him be a they where told to.

I heard him spouting off some verbal diarrhea today about how the blockade was working and soon we’ll have as much oil as we’ve ever had like a gusher. Smh to the f****** idiocy of this timeline.

I predict the CEOs he's flanking himself with will not answer the Press's calls upon returning stateside. The humiliation will run that deep.

metadatame May 13, 2026 +1
Has he had a single win since taking office

I doubt his feeble ass makes it all the way to China and back.

F****** hell, I know that the PRC aren't exactly high rankers in the human rights, uh, rankings... but could they forgo assigning some honeypots to the orange twit this time? I know that they're communist spies with a job to do, but I really wouldn't wish that on anyone.

He is not stung. He is winning the war, and I say that as someone who does not support him. Anyone who thinks Iran is winning this war is totally delusional. They are ignoring the facts. Iran's navy and air force are destroyed. Most of its missiles and drones are destroyed. Most of its military factories are destroyed. Its nuclear program is destroyed. Its economy is collapsing. Its currency has become worthless. Most of the people despise the regime. It's only a matter of time before the Iranian people come back out to finish the revolution they started in January. This time, they will be armed and the regime will be much weaker. The regime will not survive. Most Americans, including most Democrats, think the US is winning the war. https://harvardharrispoll.com/

It seems you forgot to check with reality. You are ignoring the facts and the opinion of the majority.
