He wants to be king

President Trump congratulated Xi Jinping in an interview for cementing his power as China's leader, noting that some people refer to him as royalty and the bond between them is unparalleled.

[...]

"Now some people might call him the king of China," Trump continued. "But he’s called president. But we have a very good relationship and that’s a positive thing."

Would that "some people" be you, Mr. President?  Because I don't know of anyone else who does.

China’s ruling Communist Party this week formally lifted Mr Xi to the same exalted status as the nation’s founding father, Mao Zedong, by writing his name and dogma into the party’s constitution. The move solidified Mr Xi as China’s most powerful ruler in decades, and could make it more difficult for rivals to challenge him.

“I happen to think he’s a very good person,” Mr Trump said [in his Lou Dobbs interview]. “Now with that being said, he represents China, I represent the USA, so you know, there’s going to always be conflict. But we have a very good relationship. People say we have the best relationship of any president-president, because he’s called president also.”  

People say that, do they? They are as simple as The Most Notable Loser if they talk like that. On the other hand, as usual, he's probably talking about the "people" in his head.

Mr Trump and Mr Xi are scheduled to meet in China next month during the US President’s first presidential trip to Asia.

Please keep him.
