Trump says his trip to China will be 'a wild one.' Why he's going now -- and what to expect.

President Trump is set to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on May 14 and 15 for talks about trade, Taiwan and China's relationship with Iran as the war in the Middle East enters its third month.

It will be Trump’s second trip to China as president — and the first for any U.S. president since his initial visit in 2017.

Trump previewed the summit while speaking to other world leaders in February, saying it’s “going to be a wild one.”

“I said, ‘But we have to put on the biggest display you've ever had in the history of China.’ You know, last time I went to China, President Xi, he treated me so well, he gave me a display,” he continued, before marveling at the military spectacle that greeted him in 2017.

A bit full of yourself Donny boy? It might be wild but not in the way you'd expect it.

And hand the Trump Crime Family a lot of cash.

Trump will agree to anything Xi wants.

Careful, Donny, China doesn’t put up with that type of crap.

during his last visit to Japan it should be a pathetic display of his massive decline in physical and mental health. That should make the trip a great success according to the GOP.

All world leaders know he is nothing but a joke, a crazy joke. Many late night shows will be going all in for this one.
