‘Stupidity is not contagious unless you’re a MAGA cultist’: Xi Jinping is visibly uncomfortable over Donald Trump’s ‘friendship’ claims

Donald Trump likes to think and tell everyone that he is close friends with all the leaders of the world. However, recent events suggest that this belief may be more of a delusion than a reality.

Nations such as Canada, Brazil, and China have been directly impacted by Trump’s aggressive tariffs, which have steadily increased to record levels. Among these countries, Trump’s tariff policies have been particularly harsh towards China, with whom he has been engaged in a long-standing trade war.
