Xinhua New Agency responded critically following repeated statements by Trump on China's unwillingness to help fix the current standoff with North Korea.

"Trump is quite a personality, and he likes to tweet,” Xinhua said in an editorial, as reported by The New York Times. “But emotional venting cannot become a guiding policy for solving the nuclear issue on the peninsula.”

1. I'd love it if the whole world tweeted "I'm very disappointed in Trump"

But he'd never see it.

2. Actually they have that wrong.

Emotional venting is the only policy he has.

5. Me, too. Isn't that bizarre?

It's weird, too, when I find myself defending a nation that has murdered innocent folks in the name of freedom and democracy, killed duly elected leaders of nations that were building medical clinics and schools but were left-leaning and not fully supporting our nation. It's a bizarre world I live in.
