Trump responds to Xi's 'Thucydides Trap' comment about America's decline

19. The big difference is that Xi is a well educated ass hole

Who has a long term vision for his country. I’m not saying I like his vision (he has firmly cemented his place as a dictator who has basically brushed all dissent). It also involves hegemony of all of east Asia.

But his vision, unlike Trump’s goes well beyond enriching just himself, his family, and cronies (those values are all embedded within the communist system anyways). But Xi is disciplined and single minded. His goal is to displace the US as the number one economic and military global power, and they’re well on their way of achieving it, because let me crudely put it, the US under Trump is getting very good at stepping on its own dick.
