Had Donald Trump been the U.S. president hosting this week’s APEC meetings, I have no doubt that the headline from the event would have been unchanged. It would have been: “He’s a dictator.”

The only difference is it would be Xi Jinping who was saying it to describe Trump.

Other than that, though, a Trump-hosted APEC meeting would likely have been unrecognizably different from the successful and productive forum hosted by President Joe Biden.

    Ironically the polling is showing RFK has a reasonable chace of winning. That opens up the lane for Jill Stein to compete as well.

      No it doesn’t. No poll shows he has a reasonable chance of winning. That’s a lie.

          How can he ‘easily gain 10%?’ Why would it be easy? You say a lot of things without any evidence to support them.

          Also, that was a telephone poll, so it was extremely inaccurate.

            Pure projection from you. His mainstream opposition is incredibly weak in Biden and Trump, so yes it is possible and historic to see how much the duopoly is failing.

              Projection? Where’s your evidence he will easily gain 10%? You sure didn’t show it to me. But you did insult me.

                He can easily gain 10% more

                Stop putting words in other peoples mouths. I said he can, not will.

                  Okay, I’m tired of talking to an obvious troll. Toodles.

                  By the way, you forgot to downvote some of my posts. You better go back and downvote them because karma matters a lot on Lemmy.
