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? You’re accusing her of working for Putin with no evidence.

      That is not an accusation, nor was it specifically about her. Which I think you know. But you’d rather hurl insults at everyone than actually have a legitimate discussion.

        Good that you accept there is no evidence to support her working for Putin.

          I never said that either. Are you really unable to have a discussion without insults and putting words in people’s mouths?

              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.

                Nope I’m here because the title of the post was incorrect.
