As though Trump‘s English has improved at all lately.

That's the only reason I immediately realized it was satire before I noticed the source. lol

Xi went on to say that Trump’s comprehension of the language was still so poor that the Chinese delegation could use English to openly discuss sensitive issues in his presence without fear he would understand them.

Xi's paying a tiny bit of attention this time.

I wonder how many strokes he's had. I genuinely imagine around five based on how he speaks.

Oh I get it. Since Dump is unintelligible now, Xi doesn't have to think about the dumb bullshit he's saying.

I was honestly making this joke about Melania bc Some shit rag was focusing on Peng’s wife speaking English with Melania.
