The president was gracious but tough, candid but thoughtful, and unlike his predecessor, did not sell out the country to a dictator.

Had Donald Trump been the U.S. president hosting this week’s APEC meetings, I have no doubt that the headline from the event would have been unchanged. It would have been: “He’s a dictator.”

The only difference is it would be Xi Jinping who was saying it to describe Trump.

Other than that, though, a Trump-hosted APEC meeting would likely have been unrecognizably different from the successful and productive forum hosted by President Joe Biden.

    Ah yes, the “i know you are but what am i” response. Got it.

    If mocking is your goal you’re doing a shit job of it. You’ve been on the defensive and getting upset about things nobody said this entire time. If that’s what mocking looks like to you, yours must be a confusing mind to live in.
