What is the premise of Trump’s “Commie Week” and who are the communist leaders featured?
Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with a new mini episode of Podforce One. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a communist for the New York Post. Today the topic is President Trump's embrace of two communists. It's commie week for President Trump. First it was New York's unlovely mayor, Zoran Mamdani, Trump did the great honour of visiting at Gracie Mansion on Monday. Then on Wednesday, the president rolled out the literal red carpet for another communist dictator, President Xi Jinping of China.
How did Trump’s meeting with New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani unfold at Gracie Mansion?
Donald Trump and the First Lady warmly greeted Z and his wife, Peng Lian, when they alighted from their plane at Joint Base Andrews and strolled together companionably down the red carpet as a twenty-one gun salute sounded followed by the national anthems of both nations. Trump could not resist sending a US Air Force jet overhead to Buzz G as a prelude to Thursday's promised spectacular military flyover of F-22 fighters and a B-2 bomber before their Oval Office talks and state dinner.
What diplomatic and military displays accompanied Trump’s visit with China’s President Xi Jinping?
Let's hope the impressive military show of force is matched by equal resolve behind closed doors. Despite Trump's elaborate courtesies towards Xi, he clearly has no illusions about China's malintent as it seeks to dislodge America's geopolitical primacy. The president has moved craftily and decisively in his second term to dislodge China's sneaky footholds in America's neighborhood. The Greenland security deal he signed at the UN on Tuesday.
How is the Trump administration countering China’s influence in the Arctic, Panama Canal and Venezuela?
Blocks China from establishing bases and exerting influence in America's Arctic North. He's forced Chinese port operators out of the Panama Canal and has taken majority control of the Venezuelan oil that Beijing had its eyes on. Even his belligerence towards Canada is partly designed to extract our weak northern neighbor from China's embrace. While Melania Trump takes Madame Peng on a visit to the National Art Museum, Republican hawks like Senator Tom Cotton want Trump to lay down the law in the Oval Office and tell Xi to stop stealing our AI models and stop threatening its neighbors like Taiwan and Japan. Trump could also keep pestering Xi to release Jimmy Lai, the Hong Kong publisher from detention.
It's a joke that Democrats are now posing as China hawks after sucking up to Beijing for a generation. Especially through Joe Biden's vice presidency and then his presidency. His son Hunter raked in millions of dollars from China while Joe kowtowed to G and allowed him to militarize islands in the South China Sea and steal American intellectual property with gay abandon.
Why does Trump view the AI arms race as critical to U.S. global leadership?
Yet Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer has the chutzpah to accuse Trump of quote once again bending the knee to the CCP, end quote. Far left Senator Bernie Sanders this week demanded that Trump, quote, sit down and negotiate with President Xi for a comprehensive treaty to establish a ban on superintelligence, end quote, and pigs might fly. The Trump administration takes far more seriously than Democrats ever had China's position as America's arch rival in the contest for global leadership. Especially in the high stakes arms race on AI, which the president wants to rebrand as SI superintelligence. As Trump repeatedly says, whoever wins AI wins. Tech leaders are reportedly bullish about America winning the race, even while some are begging for government to regulate them and assume legal liability.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant is predicting we will have eighty percent of the world's computing power by twenty twenty eight, up from sixty percent last year. In his UN speech Tuesday, Trump dismissed the apocalyptic warnings of AI doomers that the robots will kill us all unless the United Nations or some similar global entity oversees AI development. Quote We're leading now over China by a lot and everyone else, and we're going to keep it that way. We're going to keep it very, very straight and very strong. I'm not going to stifle growth for anything that's going to be bigger than the Industrial Revolution, Trump said. We will be very careful, and that's why we have a Department of Justice, end quote.
