Xi vs djt - China Summit 2026: The Lecturer and Philosopher King vs The Other Guy

[konradv]

President Trump's means is to win elections by landslide margins.

Trump has never had a landslide win. He lies constantly, like claiming he was at the top of his class at Wharton, when he was really middle of the pack.

This last election he won by 38%
Landslide.

Not quite a Reagan 49 to 1 state win, but impressive as hell.

Try reading earlier posts in this thread.

I did....
And your original claims based on the article have absolutely crashed when they met with reality.
"Trump was going to be a obnoxious bufoon"
"Xi was going to run roughshod over trump in trade negotiations "
"Xi hates what Trump is doing in Iran"

Those were the claims....
ALL have been proven to be smashed....DOA on contact.

Xi is no philosopher-king. He’s an old man clinging to power by any means necessary, like Trump.

Prove it! Words are just opinion!

"Shilling for authoritarians?" That's MAGA's job when defending Trump's embrace of them.

Plato's philosopher king (introduced in The Republic around 375 BC) is a hypothetical ruler merging absolute wisdom with political power, designed to create a perfect society (Kallipolis). Historically and theoretically, this model is positioned against democratic rule, tyranny/autocracy, and average human nature, as Plato argued only philosophers could prioritize the common good over personal ambition.

Versus Tyranny (The Strongman) Trump: While often confused with a dictator, the philosopher king is defined as selfless and disinterested in personal power, aiming to serve, unlike the "strongman" tyrant who rules via power for self-gratification.

Xi is an authoritarian, so you’re being disingenuous.

There were SEVERAL key wins the White House is touting:-
Ending the flow of fentanyl precursors into the US-

Shifting China to purchase more AMERICAN OIL rather than depending on oil from the Strait of Hormuz (China buys 90% of Iran’s oil exports)-

Increasing Chinese purchases of American agricultural goods-

Chinese opposition to Iran charging tolls in the Strait of Hormuz-

Mutual agreement that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon-

Ending militarization of the Strait

You’re delusional. 1.5% of actual voters.

Now lefties love a Chinese dictator.

You guys must LOVE MAO.

HE IS THE GOAT…BODY COUNT OF LIKE 60 MILLION.

Mao makes Hitler look like a biatch. He is literally 10 Hitlers.

What is being done is not “loving” but evaluating who is a better dictator (Xi, Putin or Trump). Dictators are not loved but respected as to their ability to get their wishes done.

One thing that has to be respected about Xi is that he was successful in building an ally when he and Putin got together. What powerful Dictator has Trump been able to become an ally with?

Why are you shilling for an authoritarian? Why haven’t you done the research?

 

[Dante]

Xi is an authoritarian, so you’re being disingenuous.

Do you believe Xi does not see himself as prioritizing the common good over personal ambition? Isn't that a socialistic/commie dream? Myself, we have to wonder. Especially when positioned next to the most selfish, self-centered leader alive today.

Stop conflating things. Stop trying to be so disingenuous. You are not succeeding very well.

How about you?
Do you not know how the USA elects Presidents?

The CCP is all about preserving their power. They do not employ any Marxist ideals. The Chinese people do not get any of “free stuff” conservatives say Communism promises.

Nope. Nope. Nope.
