🚨 BREAKING: Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport. [View all]

This loss is that the U.S. is no longer respected--

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport.

MAGA is in spin mode heralding the “red carpet treatment,” but the visit is already at a rocky start.

Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xi’s vice president, Han Zheng; China’s Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu.

I’m sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.
