NY Times - President Trump Wows Asia

HANOI, Vietnam — For the last week on the road, President Trump had been measured, disciplined and studiously scripted as he picked his way through the geopolitical minefields of Asia.

President Trump is a statesman marshaling a worldwide coalition to confront a nuclear North Korea, and a populist leader working to right trade imbalances.

Are you calling President XI a liar? @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson "China has not formally announced any plans to further sanction North Korea."

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

..... as of whenever in the part you copied and pasted that tidbit. @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson It was in the article you linked.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Exactly. They haven’t announced the plans yet. Weekends exist even in China @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson So tomorrow then ?

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Perhaps. “crafty f**kers”? Really? @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson It's a bit late now to feign offence jack. People might think you're trying to distract .... heaven forbid.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

When playing by lib rules it’s never too late to attempt to smear someone by inferring thet the someone may be a racist. Just sayin. Hypothetically and all 🤔 @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson I assume you're making reference to the avi , which just so happens to be a recent artwork inspired by the white supremacy march in Charlottesville.

The artist is posing a question ; Do you think people are concealing their bigotry and racism behind the flag, behind being patriotic?'

Do you have an opinion on that jack ?

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

No peeeezzzzaaaa I was referring to your racist stereotyping “craft Chinese”. Don’t try to ignore your own words. @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson My words were 'crafty fuckers' not 'crafty Chinese'. And it doesn't matter one jot their nationality , they are clearly smarter than the idiot President.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

As usual you end up with angry name calling being all you have. You used to be capable of a reasoned discussion. @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson And as usual you make that accusation when you have been made to look foolish and have nothing else to say. I guess it's still an improvement on memes.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Name calling AND personal attacks 😲 @RodionRomanovitch

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@jackjjackson awww jack , I never had you down as the sensitive type. I'll try and be more gentle in future ..... promise. 😉
