In a post from July, Trump proclaimed: “I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE. Congratulations to all! By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives.”
However, the reality was starkly different. Two weeks after Trump’s initial celebration, artillery exchanges resulted in a significant death toll, with widespread injuries and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians.
" China has assisted Cambodia and Thailand in our own way to resolve the border dispute, and we continue to promote peace talks to address other pressing issues in the region."
Trump, seemingly oblivious to the nuanced diplomatic correction, responded by calling Xi his “longtime friend” and a “great leader”, expressing enthusiasm about potential trade deals.
He says that today. A week from now he’ll be doing the Kubrick Stare into the camera and claiming Chinese interference in the affairs of South Pacific States will never be tolerated. Then someone in Shanghai will buy another $3M Trumpcoins and he’ll be friends again.
You missed the important part before that semtence.
Emphasis mine. The correction was that he saw it happen (after China’s work), vs having had anything to do with it.
Yes, thank you!
