Trump blames Biden for US 'declining' after Xi comments on 'Thucydides trap'
Key takeaways
- Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!
- Trump did not point to a specific comment made by Xi.
- Xi in 2021 also said, the East is rising and the West is declining.
Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct, the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!
Trump did not point to a specific comment made by Xi. But the post comes after his Chinese counterpart, in opening remarks at a U.S.-China bilateral meeting, questioned if the two nations could overcome the Thucydides trap — a theory suggesting that when a rising power threatens to displace an established one, a war could result.
Xi in 2021 also said, the East is rising and the West is declining. The White House did not clarify the quote referenced in Trump s post in response to The Hill s request for comment.
