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.

    Her successful career as a physician shows she is capable of intelligent thought, something you struggle with.

      Insulting me is not evidence. Neither is saying she’s a successful physician. That has nothing to do with why she appears with Putin.

      I’m not surprised you’re resorting to insults though.

          I didn’t make any accusations. But that didn’t stop you from insulting me.

            Are you actually saying someone who works for Putin wouldn’t publicly show herself with Putin?

            This you? You’re accusing her of working for Putin with no evidence.

              That is not an accusation, nor was it specifically about her. Which I think you know. But you’d rather hurl insults at everyone than actually have a legitimate discussion.

                  I never said that either. Are you really unable to have a discussion without insults and putting words in people’s mouths?
