Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline.
Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden.
Really humiliating stuff.

(25,555 posts)So much projection and "but Biden...." lately coming out of this entire administration. I think it's really wearing thin except with his hardcore base.

(34,402 posts)"un vrai connard" is the translation for a real jerk
In International Phonetics:
/̃ vʁɛ kɔnaʁ/
un: Pronounced like the "un" in "fun" but with a nasal vowel sound, roughly /̃/ (similar to "uh-ahn" blended together)
vrai: Pronounced like the English word "vray" (rhymes with "play" ) /vʁɛ/.
connard: Pronounced with a hard "k" sound, starting with "kohn" (rhyming with "song" ) and ending with a soft "ar" (like the "ar" in "car" but softer), /kɔnaʁ/.
Or you can just call him an asshole: un connard

(209 posts)Why didn't he fix the horrible trade deals when he was president? Why hasn't he fixed them now since they are still in place? He has been claiming China has been ripping us off so why does he want a great relationship with them? He said winning trade wars is easy so show us by beating China. He's a big tough guy from a distance but a sniveling coward face to face.
