Xi Jinping hosts welcome ceremony for Donald Trump

Everybody say, "Yay!" For freedom of the press.

In America, to make themselves completely irrelevant. American broadcasters didn't air this important event. Silly media. Your tricks are for kids. They're still trying to delegitimatize president Trump even as world leaders acknowledge him and seek his acknowledgment. And Yay! in China for broadcasting live for the first time a Chinese president welcoming a United States president. This really is historic.

American Press, you are not needed.

Enough about corrupted American media. They broadcast their own irrelevance.

See, apart from the rhetoric by Trump throughout his campaign, he really did impress Xi Jinping with his welcome extended to Xi Jinping in Florida. He knows how to connect. And now Xi Jinping pulled out the stops to return the consideration. And it shows.

My favorite part of the whole thing is the kids hopping up and down waving flags. Nice touch. Very nice. So sweet. I never saw that before. And even though they might not grasp its importance, this really is about them. What a splendid reminder. What grace. What fun!


There are more videos of this available on YouTube. Some more stoic than this, more quiet without narration. More staid. Others by Chinese broadcasters with different narration.

Honestly, I don't care about the meet-and greet lines, or the marching and music. It's nice, but I don't care. But the kids, American and Chinese, they really get me. Whoever thought of that is brilliant.

In retrospect, the diss they showed the last American President to visit looks even more amazing.

They saved the red carpet they didn't use for Obama to use for Trump.

It's a big deal for the Reds. They don't get many American Presidents visiting.

As Rabel notes.

Remember when they wouldn't even give Obama a stairway to get off of the plane?

Things have changed. The Chinese recognize a real President when they see one.

The House of Saud is in big trouble. They no longer control the world's oil and the British Empire is no longer around to keep the crazies in their box (read about the Cawnpore Massacre and the House of the Ladies some time).

So the new young guy is facing reality and laying down the law. A little old time religion, if you will.

How does Trump manage to go down that line of dignitaries and say something different to each one? That's why I could never be prez. Well, a few other things as well but right there, being able to chat up people on a greeting line, one after the other just like that...beyond me. I hope that helped. I mean the little picture is important too.
