Had Donald Trump been the U.S. president hosting this week’s APEC meetings, I have no doubt that the headline from the event would have been unchanged. It would have been: “He’s a dictator.”
The only difference is it would be Xi Jinping who was saying it to describe Trump.
Other than that, though, a Trump-hosted APEC meeting would likely have been unrecognizably different from the successful and productive forum hosted by President Joe Biden.
There are attempts at making more complete lists of Trump being an absolute idiot.
Such lists tend to outright exhausting, exactly because somewhat like you say, he creates scandals faster than it’s possible to digest.
