What do you even say to this? [View all]

"President Xi said American is a nation in decline. And I said, "You're right." trump told the friendly interviewer on yesterday's FAUX news "interview".

I remember when American politicians did not criticize American presidents when they were abroad representing our country. Even Rs used to follow that credo. But now, we've reached the point where a foreign autocrat can insult our entire country to our President's face, and instead of even pretending to defend our country, this president agrees with him? On camera?

And it is not the main story in every newspaper and on every newscast? I will say that although I have given up on the corporate media meeting the moment when it comes to trump and the danger he poses, this shocks me.
