And there we have it.
As the reporter from Beijing said - "... Give him face ..." ...meaning Trump.
By inviting Trump to the most globally guarded compound
Zhongnanhai
, where Vladimir Putin has walked many times, and very VERY few others have, plays to Trumps need for recognition and affirmation.
The Chinese. Theirs is an art when it comes to psycholical warfare....as is remaining tight lipped when it comes to discussions behind closed doors.
They say "loose lips sink ships..." ....wink....
I wonder if the Straits of Hormuz shall bring the Chinese into action. Will Trump sacrifice Taiwan to save face in a war that should never have happened.
He is inclined to blow with the wind.
Interesting to see what next.
The Iranians refuse to "play ball" nor bow down to sheepdomship while USA and Isreal tried to pull the wool over many an onlookers eyes.
Seems NATO and the EU have lost their propaganda grip too.
Sitting and, looking in.

"...stupid son of a bitch..." Trump in reference to Obama 'bribing' Iran and what the Iranians must have thought of Obama Press conference at this present moment ....
"...The Obama administration secretly transferred $400 million in cash to Iran on wooden pallets stacked with foreign currencies via an unmarked cargo plane. This was the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement finalized at the
Iran-United States Claims Tribunal at The Hague, resolving a failed arms deal dating back to the 1970s."
Lordy!
Lordy!
When the businessman cares not to be the glib politician.
Al Jazeera live. ...
Hahahahahha!!!!

Guess who said it,
"...right smack! In the middle of their heads." GRIN....not the sort of rhetoric expected from any president.
It can only be the one and only.
And yet a softening toward the allies he shat on from a dizzy height?...thanking Macron for successfully organising and hosting the ongoing G7 summit in France ...and making flattering remarks with respect to specific individuals.
More like setting the cat among the pigeons...once again.
The clammer for Huckleberry Finns approval no matter they like him or not.
