Trump says he asked China's Xi not to give Iran weapons

Well that settles it then.

> "I wrote ​him a letter asking him not to do ‌that, ⁠and he wrote me a letter saying that, essentially, he's not doing that," Trump told FBN's "Mornings with ​Maria" program. So he never wrote a letter to Xi. Got it.

Did he say *please*? Will he say *thank you*?

”Xi, Stop!”

Bro nuked (a significant part of) China‘s oil supply and tells China deal with it because the strait isn’t his problem but gets upset when China supports the US‘ enemy. What an imbecile 

World leaders stopped giving a shit about what the US demands, that include your own allies.

Next week: Trump bragging about how much he will charge to sell Iran a nuclear weapon.

Xi: “Okay bro.” *proceeds to do as he pleases*

Nothing projects world power like begging your adversary not to hand out scraps to a hardly functional army

they just sold iran a bunch of anti aircraft weaponry and we're letting their ships through the blockade this entire war and administration is a f****** joke and the punchline is my gasoline costs $4 a gallon

This administration is so embarassing.

I thought if anyone was caught helping Iran they got a 50 percent tariff Trump? Some more dementia nonsense? China has been helping them, but you "ask". Trump is crazy and the world will pay. Not good for us.

At this point all the world leaders have had enough of Trump and I actually believe he knows it and his ego just can’t cope. Good.

Uh huh. Cos that'll have an effect. Even the allied countries don't listen to his requests, the world is waiting until he goes away.

China was very honest with their emphatic promise not to give Iran weapons. They instead will instead simply continue sell the weapons basically at cost to Iran.

“Trump says”, wind blows.

He has Xi, but did not ask Putin? Weird family dynamic..

has Xi asked the US's Trump not to give Israel weapons? and aid, don't forget aid, i can't understand what justified giving Israel aid, and at the same time pulling out essential aid to countries that really need and deserve it

Liabetes

Of all the things that never happened this didn’t happen the most.

"China has reported replied with a thumbs-up emoji, and is still supplying Iran with weapons."

If I was China, I would have said no problem, you stop giving weapons to Israel and we will stop giving them to Iran. Also, as far as I understand it, China is only 'selling' not giving, China doesn't give anything to any foreign country, they sell for something, often not money. Anyway, what they are selling are defensive systems, for example shoulder launched air defense. Which can't be used in a anyway to attack gulf countries or Israel but will shoot down any US / Israel Jets / Bombers flying illegally in Iran's airspace. Any country even nasty regimes like Iran's has a right to defend themselves.

They said "okay" and will do it anyway. 

He said give, not sell nor lend

Why would anyone do anything for Trump?

Blocks their ships from traversing the strait of hormuz, then asks for favours 🤡

Access to Iranian oil is a vital interest for China. Of course they are providing support to Iran to prevent the USA from getting a strangle hold on Chinese oil imports.

trump is an orange pedophile. It's important to remember that.

>I wrote him a letter asking him ​not to do that, and he wrote me a letter saying ⁠that, essentially, he's not doing that *eSsEnTiaLly*

did he say thank you?

Xi: So Trump comes up to me...tears in his eyes...and he says "Sir...please don't give the Iranians weapons...."

he’s lucky China hadn’t invaded Taiwan at this time when the fleet is busy blocking oil tankers in the Gulf. 

Asked to comment, Xi replied “lol. Lmao even.”

Bullshit

I bet Xi asked him not to fuckup one of the most important transportation corridors in the world, but here we are. 

Hey people of the internet. I just sent Trump a letter asking him to resign. All will be good now, you're welcome.

Trump looks more incompetent every day with this war

Trump sure spends a lot of time telling us what other people supposedly said. And he definitely lies a lot. Hmmmm....

And China laughed in his face. Doesn't the US give Taiwan weapons? And Israel?

China doesn't give, it sells to almost anyone.

How about asking your buddy Putin to stop giving intel to the Iranians?

China must not believe their luck with this idiot getting the presidency.

Trump is afraid of Xi. Doesn’t have the balls to call him

Did he wear a suit and tie and say thank you in the letter? Doubt it, suspect he was wearing a brown suit as well (understable : his diaper stains don't show up as much)

Did you ask your boyfriend to stop too?

A weak one asks a shit to smell nice when flushing a toilet doesn't work.

Oh great Your Majesty. Anyway...

Why is Trump always blunt and rude with its historic allies and polite and friendly with US its historic enemies or competitors?

Maybe he simply thought about the letter and it magically appeared.

I asked Santa for a Red Ryder for Christmas

"You cheated on me? After I specifically asked you not to?"

The power's supposed to be soft, not limp.

>"President Xi will give me a big, fat, ‌hug ⁠when I get there in a few weeks."

Could be doing more instead of going to UFC matches

Idiot

I'm sure Xi heard a deranged rant asking him to not sell more weapons to Iran and then immediately quadrupled the next Iranian order.

He claims he wrote a letter but this guy uses autopen to sign his bills. I honestly dont think he knows how to write with the state his brain is in. And china has a vested interest in the US military being weakened so that it wont have trouble invading Taiwan sometime in the next few years. Even better, have some third party country wreck them for China. Win-win situation China knows what its doing.

1. True or not, that’s an attempt to paint China as an enemy 2. I “asked” is weak. Hence point 1 3. If china didn’t know, now they know they have an interest in helping Iran

Remember when Kennedy announced that US would consider any deployment of weapons from USSR in the western hemisphere as an attack on the US? Now we have this...

And Xi said with tears in his eyes, “Yes sir, you are the wisest, strongest leader since Lincoln, but maybe more!”

Did he say thank you?

I don't think Trump holds any cards , or asked saying please or thank you ...  

I’m sure he listened!

so he's begging the various leaders,got it

Donnie begging like a dog. Pathetic.

[ Removed by Listnook ]

If only he didn't shit the bed with tariffs and bombing of Iran already, maybe at this pint he would still have some cards to use against China.

That’s not how war works.

Please Xi, oh please can you not? So weak.

Trump is so pathetic. No leadership skills whatsoever. He's just a self-aggrandizing idiot. He will be a case study in psychology for generations to come.

Fart of the deal 

Thank goodness! There for a minute I thought we had started WW3. Looks like TRUMP has it taken care of though. 😮‍💨 /s

swiper no swiping

I read an article a few hrs ago saying China is shipping Iran hand held anti aircraft launchers, so is that not happening now?

Maybe he should just send a note apologizing to Iran. Since he likes the pen pal game.

"I told him very strongly."

It’s so funny to try to imagine trump writing anything but his stupid ass signature. Writing or reading is something trump does not do.

"Trump says..." is almost always a lie.

How did we get here?  My god what a horror. 

Waiting for the reports from Chinese state media saying that no communication has taken place between them and the US.

And I'm certain that their response was, "Since you've asked so nicely, of course we'll comply!"

I betting that was his letter to Santa

Did he double pinky swear?

Except he didn't. Except he did in an enabling dementia delirium that bypassed his screeners

China will say sure, then ship stuff through russia.

Well, if that didn't work, I don't know what will.

He asked on Twitter's X?

"Oh these things? They're not missiles. They're just telephone poles. For you know, communication and Internet." Trump: Oh okay.

Has he asked the same about Russia?

Cool so China will just keep buying pil from Iran, flooding their economy with much needed money. That iran will turn arpund and buy weapons from Russia with.

“Deer chi, don’t not give eyeran wepons, thx Donald.”

Oh sure, in a fever dream at 4 in the morning he made this up in his head and here we are. Xi is somewhere laughing.
