home, but he then has to explain why he did that. At some point he has to tell the public that he turned around and left because he was disrespected. So, the public will wonder, how will he respond to that insult? The more he stays passive against China, the more he comes across as a wimp.

This way he can talk about how the people lined up to greet him in China and how Xi kissed his feet or something.

Either way, this is a huge injury to his ego. This does not go well with narcisssists. And of course Xi knew that very well.

This is delightful, if not a bit of a dangerous escapation but at this point, who cares? We're all f*cked one way or another anyway.
