A valuable reminder of just some of the FAILURES that #Trump and the #GOP are trying to distract #Americans from:
"In the real world, there is no peace deal in #Gaza, no peace deal in #Ukraine, no trade deals with #Mexico or #Canada or the #EuropeanUnion. #Inflation is rising again; #Xi Jinping and Vladimir #Putin have proved immune to Trump’s flattery; and the #President’s disapproval rating just hit its highest mark yet in his second term, with fifty-five per cent in a new Economist/YouGov poll looking unfavorably on his job performance; a new Associated Press/NORC survey, also out this week, found that majorities of Americans were unhappy with his handling of the #economy, government spending, #trade, #taxes, #immigration, health care, and the conflict in the Middle East—every issue that the poll asked about."

So far #Trump has not met w/ #Xi Jinping, #China’s president, & his few telephone interactions w/ him…have not gone beyond familiar talking points on the future of #Taiwan, China’s #nuclear buildup, & disputes over export controls of key #technologies. Trump has focused almost entirely on the #trade relationship, his aides say, & there are signs of division inside the admin over shifting the focus of American forces out of #Europe & the #MiddleEast to the #IndoPacific.

I am a bit surprised Xi already didn't start more threatening moves around Taiwan because we can be pretty sure Trump can't handle it, just like he can't handle the crises around Ukraine, Gaza and Iran. Also as a diversion it will help Putin.

"Ex-ambassador to #Russia: #Putin, #Xi will celebrate #Trump's 'preemptive war' in #Iran"
“Putin will be celebrating this because he did his own preemptive war in #Ukraine and now it’s like, well, this is just what great powers do. Maybe Xi Jinping is going to think the same. He’s going to say, ‘Well, if they can do it here, we can do it in #Taiwan,’” – Former #US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul

Good time for Xi to create a crisis around Taiwan.

Putin, Xi to agree to meet in China as they sneer at G7 summit fractures
just laugh but remember as a German proverb says, "He who laughs last, laughs best"
and "He who will not hear, must feel"
that means
“ He who will not hear the advice will feel the punishment ”

The short-term effect of #Ramaphosa meeting #Trump is becoming visible to him. What happens then is completely unpredictable. The only objective he could obtain is to to get out of the meeting with his dignity intact. #Ramaphosa did that, to the extent that he possibly could. He might not have met any other specific objective, but he can't be blamed for that.
The main long-term meaning of meeting Trump is that he joins the club of leaders who have gone through the same baptism of fire. This is the next important goal for #SouthAfrica: figure out how to posse up with the rest of the world. Ramaphosa should talk to #Carney, #Starmer, #Macron, #Xi, #VonDerLeyen. That's where the diplomatic future lies for the moment.
