Trading Barbs

Late night hosts went after President Trump on Monday after China announced a retaliatory tariff increase on American goods. China’s president, Xi Jinping, rejected Trump’s demands that a trade agreement includes changes in Chinese law, among other things.

“They also objected to the publication of all the details of the agreement, preferring a summary. Oh, really? The White House is upset because China wants to release a summary? [Impersonating Trump] ‘No way. No way, Xi. I know how summaries work, O.K.? it’s gonna be four pages long and a bucket o’ lies.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
