President Trump on Thursday evening said China’s Xi Jinping was right about the US’s decline under Joe Biden.

However, the president argued that America is back.

Xi Jinping said America is a declining power and said the “world has arrived at a new crossroads.”

“Can China and the United States transcend the so-called ‘Thucydides trap’ and create a new paradigm for relations between major powers?” President Xi said.

President Trump said Xi Jinping was right about America’s decline under Joe Biden – but argued that America is back.

President Trump’s full statement:

When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct.

Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!

President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K’s, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEI, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list.

In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time.
