Foreign Policy with Chinese Characteristics, play all sides and pretend to want peace.

This playbook is also used in Myanmar, where Chinese pretend to be “peace brokers” while supporting the junta, rebels, and gangs in illegal activities.

Trump and Xi are mirroring each other. Purging many of the intellectuals, policy experts, and only retain certain ideologues. This does not bode well for the world.

You're right, Donald. We’re not stupid.

When you broke your promise to protect Medicaid by enacting a $1 trillion cut, you sold out hospitals and health coverage for millions.

Democrats just want you to keep your promise.

Repeal the cuts.
Trump Truth social post: “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of Project 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrats Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
