Stewart Mocks Trump’s Foreign Policy Skill Following China Trip

Jon Stewart mocked President Donald Trump’s recent diplomatic trip to China on the latest episode of ‘The Daily Show,’ targeting his praise for President Xi Jinping. “As we all know nobody, and I mean nobody, is as tough on China... than Donald J Trump,” Stewart joked. “He’s like a bull in a China shop.” Despite previously insisting he was tough on China, Trump praised Xi during meetings in Beijing, repeatedly referring to the Chinese president as “my friend.” “Take that President Xi,” Stewart quipped. “He’s the only leader with the balls to come to your house and say right to your face, ‘Who’s better than you? No one!’” Stewart suggested Trump returned empty-handed despite discussing trade tensions, Iran, and rare earth materials with Chinese officials during the high-profile diplomatic visit. Following the trip, Trump said the most important result was building a “relationship” with Xi. Stewart mocked the remark, saying, “So nothing? You got nothing!” “You flew there to personally confront our rival superpower,” Stewart said, “and all you came back with was his Instagram?”
