    Pooh bear is ultimately a good bear doing his best for those he cares about

    The same cannot be said of China’s President unless we reduce the “who he cares about” to himself. But that’s not fair to Pooh.

      No Malarkey is no longer a good campaign slogan.

      It never was. A geriatric candidate using a word that fell out of common use at least 70 years ago in his slogan winning an election was only possible because of how hated Trump was. Even though people still rightly hate Trump, it won’t work again.

    Different propaganda techniques. China prefers to depict themselves as righteous underdogs, while it’s harder to do that as an American, so the propaganda is focused on seeming even more untouchable at the hands of a weak enemy.
