At the end of the day, it’s the end of the day, and he’s still the president*. I know this because The Washington Post tells me so.

“People say we have the best relationship of any president-president, because he’s called president also,” he went on to say. “Now some people might call him the king of China. But he’s called president.”

Nobody calls Xi the king of China.

But everybody calls this guy the President* of the United States.

That’s a wrap for Thursday, I think.

The king of China.

Damn.
