China's*State Visit "Plus" for Trump

I have never seen Donald Trump happy.

And he is genuinely happy in Beijing.

Impressed. Touched. Grateful.


The one thing that most stuck in my craw, mystified me, about the last legitimate president of the United States, Barack Obama, was his lack of personal relationships with other world leaders. Most notably of course Russia's Putin.
That is chilling. They look like two boxers at their weigh-in.

His strange, clueless walk alone in the dark to the G20 dinner at Peterhof Palace St. Petersburg.

But everybody else, too. Xi looked weary, impatient, uncomfortable in SoCal casual attire with Obama.
"I have splinter in anoos."

Obama and staff derided the British behind their backs, the British!, continuing a cruel, cold, dismissal of the Brits going back to Kennedy, Truman and FDR.

Trump certainly does not get along with Theresa May, but Obama had distant relationships with all of his equals.

Trump is getting the State Visit PLUS in Beijing that Obama never got from anybody.

*Damn it. Didn't see that I hadn't included the apostrophe originally.
