“Wait? The world isn’t the US?!”

“It’s not me it’s someone I know” reads like “it’s a cylinder” 😅

No, it’s you who didn’t get what’s the scandal about. The problem is not (I mean that also is a problem, but that exists regardless of what happened during that meeting) the political context.

It is that the bar, again, for what is doable was lowered. A literal state president was bullied in front of a nation, even the world. It was a provocation and a display of the new tone between potential allies.

And that’s indeed concerning regardless of the (also concerning) “trade” offer.
