retired professor was there as well. A democrat but a reasonably sane fellow, we were discussing some of the dumb stuff trump does. I told him i liked trump more all the time, while acknowledging that he does and says and tweets some really stupid things.
He has spent time in china and knows that saving face is very important to the asians. He then referenced the fish feeding frenzy as trump poured too much food into the koy pond.
I told him he only saw the part of the video that the media wanted him to see. He was not aware that the japaneese leader had done the exact same thing trump did five seconds earlier.
He was embarrassed, unlike the libs here who generally double down on ignorance and rationalize or excuse their uninformed comments.
My point is that this is an educated man. Traveled the world, well spoken and intelligent. He believed what the media told him about trump not properly acting in the far east.
There must be countless millions of less intelligent, less well informed and less well spoken people who are also duped by the media.
For example on this board....er, you know who you are.
