He’s gotta bring his CEO buddies because some of them know how to make their words work and actually have experience making successful negotiations.
I can imagine Trump, Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, and Bezos all turning up and its just 5 repulsive creatures trying to get a coherent sentence together without the assistance of cocaine or ketamine.
Challenge: impossible.
Honestly I don’t think the cocaine or ketamine ever made much of a difference in terms of coherency.
I have always assumed at that level as long as they supply it themselves, they won't have an issue with it. I am curious if the CCP are hypocrites or if all the big wigs are clean.
Unlike the orange man's appointees, a lot of these oligarchs actually have relationships with the Chinese elite. China is the world factory and all that jazz. As far as this US administration goes these guys aren't a bad pick to take to Beijing right now.
You get 'em Trump.
Just keep repeating those big tough words and I'm sure everyone will see you for the big, tough, thin, athletic, young man you absolutely are.

They showed up on China and no one bothered to meet them. Instead, many of the Chinese leaders were meeting with Iran and securing modern military tech.
Watch the video of the Orange Furher wobbling down the stairs from the airplane. The US needs leaders, not oligarchs, but the oligarchs have won the class war for the moment, so here we are.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
