Mike McFaul: Xi Jinping ‘Played It That Way’ to Trump by Referencing His Meeting With Vladimir Putin

RUSH EXCERPT:

MCFAUL: “Well, he definitely played it that way, of course, but but I was struck by our president asking the question, you know, has any other important leaders been here? Right. And then Xi Jinping wanted to assure him, no, you’re very special. And that just was another sign. And he just said it in the clip you played a few minutes ago of this just over personalization of American foreign policy. It’s just all about Trump and how special Xi Jinping is treating Trump. It’s not about our workers. It’s not about our farmers. It’s not about deterrence. It’s not about freedom. Right. You know, no words of democracy and human rights came up. Most certainly he didn’t get anything on a run."
