One thing is painfully evident after Chinese President Xi’s visit to San Francisco. Xi read Donald Trump’s best-selling book, and Joe Biden awaits the movie. Biden and his team of political interns are attempting to spin this event as evidence of Joe Biden’s powerful grasp of Foreign Affairs when, in actuality, Biden and America got taken to the cleaners by the Dictator from China. Governor Gavin Newsom paved the city streets of San Francisco to cover the human waste, and the homeless were bused to Oakland for a mini vacation. The red carpet was rolled out for Xi, and he took advantage of every blue light special. America came away from the visit with nothing but Chinese promises. We would have done better with a bag of cheap fortune cookies.

I highlighted ten crucial topics this week that should have been on Biden’s list to address with Xi, but Xi ran this meeting with Biden and his team sitting across the table, nodding their heads like bobblehead dolls. Even John Kerry, sitting just three spots from Biden, never had a chance to blow hot air about climate change. What was he doing at this meeting? Biden has mistakenly referred to Kerry as Secretary, but the former Secretary of State has no official position in this Government. He tried in vain to nod with the others, but the years of Botox restricted all mobility.

Seeing Xi looking across the table at an aged President Biden was not an encouraging sight. I say aged not so much about his 80 years but about his inability to instill strength and faith that he is capable of the office. He has shown too often that he is not. This Summit was a mismatch, and for the four hours these teams met, Xi controlled the room. In proper dictator form, he made his demands, and the Biden team said, yes, sir. We came away with two concessions. Our militaries would resume direct communication, and China would curb some of the Fentanyl sent to America. That is like getting a grab bag. There is no way of quantifying either of those promises. Why was communication ever stopped, and why are we receiving any Fentanyl from China? Fentanyl is a synthetic poison that is killing Americans. Fentanyl is not a recreational drug. It is chemical Russian Roulette, and is added to legitimate drugs taken by unsuspecting people who then become statistics.

In addition to the Summit between the two leaders, Xi hosted a dinner with some of the most prominent business leaders in the country. Some executives paid $40,000 to sit at the head table with Xi. This dinner and meeting aimed to attract American business back to China. Donald Trump spent four years working to get companies to repatriate to America. Biden invites Xi to woo our companies back to China. Apparently, exporting jobs to China is a platform of Bidenomics.

Folks, we cannot imagine the terrible things that this President and his staff do daily to destroy our country. Never have we had such an anti-America President in our White House, and we must do all we can to make sure Joe Biden is a one-term President. What he did this week to placate President Xi Jinping must be highlighted and repeated every day until Election Day.
