The president was gracious but tough, candid but thoughtful, and unlike his predecessor, did not sell out the country to a dictator.

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.

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

    This you?

      That was a question. There is a difference between a question and an accusation. Again, I think you know that. But you are here in bad faith.
