It’s simple really. Putin was busy, Jong didn’t take his calls, Xi doesn’t speak English – someone needed to tell Trump “how to do it” (the dictator stuff), so he had get Madouro.

Bulding over branding. Getting the job done is more important than talking about the job to be done. Xi’s mission is to keep on doing what the US Government claims to envision for the future. There is nothing in Trump’s vision that is not already happening in China (and elsewhere).

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; therefore, the reasonable man must continually adapt himself to the persistent failures of the unreasonable one.

How to run the government as a full-blown narcissist with no grasp of physical reality: 1. Make you orders about all the things you know nothing about. 2. Automatically collect and analyse the pushback from thousands of scholars and practitioners (on sites as BS). 3. Adjust accordingly.

If you are voting for your government to be ”run like a business”, you will not become the owner or the customer of said business. You will be treated as a replaceable employee answering a survey from the HR department.

The message that ”the economy” — on average — is on the right track is little to no comfort for those who are below average.
