🚨 this has happened before..
in 2016.. Obama landed in Hangzhou for the G20.. China didn't send stairs.. he climbed out of the belly hatch at the back of Air Force One.. the "ass" of the plane.. in front of the world..
Chinese officials said the US declined their offered stairs.. the US said that wasn't true.. nobody ever agreed on what happened.. but the photos exist..
that was 10 years ago..
today Trump landed in Beijing.. red carpet.. honor guard.. 300 students waving American and Chinese flags.. chanting a welcome.. the full ceremony..
and here's the part nobody's connecting..
China didn't change the airport.. China didn't change the stairs.. China changed its read of who was coming off the plane..
the last time a US president got this kind of arrival in Beijing was 1972.. Nixon.. the handshake that opened the world.. China pulled out every symbol it had because it needed something from that meeting..
and now they're doing it again..
the red carpet isn't respect.. it's a price signal.. China is telling Trump what it's willing to pay before the first meeting even starts..
the stairs were never about stairs.

This is analogous to Trump and how he handled the King and Queen of England. He trolled them beautifully.
The WH now has a beehive mimicking the WH. 70,000 bees.
The King and Queen also have beehives. It is history. Tradition in Britain is this—that when the Monarch (King/Queen) dies, the Master of the Bees must go to each of the beehives, and tell the bees that, "The Master is Dead." This formal ceremony is known as "Telling the Bees."
When Trump hosted the King and Queen, a WH bee landed in his hand. He held it and showed it to Camilla and Charles. It was a 'one up,' move, indicating that we are no longer debt slaves to the King. He was signalling with full knowledge of what he was doing, that HE is the Beekeeper of America. Pretty cool. I can't do justice to it, but the vid explains it. Trump used a bee to. TROLL the KING and QUEEN and to celebrate, remind them that We blew them OFF.Â

Absolutely TRUE.
China obviously knows that President Trump is a strong leader and you can't mess with him. Like anyone who pays attention, they see how much winning he has been doing, in Venezuela, in Iran, all over the world, and especially at home in the great USA.Â
