"Miss you!"

Only if he could read

Dear Donald

I should have hired a better marksman.

XOXO,

Xi

Pretty clear divergence between Maduro and Xi pulling off an easy diplomatic W with a few kinds words and the "MAGA communist" grifters who took this opportunity to insult everyone who implied there are people out there who might rightfully hold something against him for killing or imprisoning their relatives.

I know everyone's used to it now, but I really hate people like this in real life, who super passive aggressively say things that aren't technically wrong but clearly send a message.

And this is one. He's praising another leader for sending a note of support, what can anyone really say?

Trump has been doing precisely that way before he was president, jawboning to the market and such without technically stating something definitive. Even putting everything aside, I hate this because I know a person or two like that in real life, and they are utter jerks.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Donald Trump has said China’s president wrote him a “beautiful note” after the assassination attempt a week ago, as he continued to court leaders whom Joe Biden has criticised as dictators.

In his first campaign rally since narrowly escaping the attempt on his life in Pennsylvania, Trump told a crowd in Michigan on Saturday: “[President Xi Jinping] wrote me a beautiful note the other day when he heard about what happened.”

As well as familiar attacks on Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, Trump also used the rally in Grand Rapids to hail Xi and Vladimir Putin as “smart, tough” figures who “love their country”, echoing praise he gave in 2022 of the Russian president’s strategy to invade Ukraine.

Still wearing a small wound dressing a week after the shooting, Trump also publicly supported the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, saying he was right in saying that “we have to have somebody that can protect us”.

In one letter, about a meeting in Singapore in June 2018, Kim wrote: “Even now I cannot forget that moment of history when I firmly held Your Excellency’s hand at the beautiful and sacred location as the whole world watched.”

After a summit in Vietnam in February 2019, Kim wrote that “every minute we shared 103 days ago in Hanoi was also a moment of glory that remains a precious memory”.

Dictators exchanging love letters? How cute.
