Imagine Trump giving Putin the same warm welcome Democrats gave Xi.

If Donald Trump were the covert Kremlin agent Democrats made him out to be, he might have given President Vladimir Putin the same kind of red-carpet treatment that Democrats gave Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping this week.
On Wednesday, President Xi was greeted in the hastily sanitized streets of San Francisco with all the fanfare of a communist parade, complete with waving red banners, to welcome the head of Red China.

Oh look, San Francisco turned into China for President Xi’s arrival.

Days before Xi touched down on the West Coast, state and local Democrats scrambled to scrub the San Francisco streets, which for years have been a national embarrassment emblematic of American decline.
Gavin Newsom just admitted that they only cleaned up the streets of San Fran because “fancy leaders” were coming to town.
The reality: They were always capable of this but they don’t care about your safety. They care about the safety of the elite. You’re expendable to them. pic.twitter.com/BPedyEjn3q

Democrats in San Francisco were eager to greet the Chinese president with a welcome parade, ostensibly designed to ease tensions with the East Asian nuclear power. Business leaders increasingly anxious about their corporate interests under Xi’s regime similarly gave the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) a standing ovation at a summit dinner with Indo-Pacific leaders Wednesday night. Reducing the risk of global war might be one motivation behind their applause for the Chinese dictator, who is overseeing the active genocide of Uyghurs in Western China, but protecting a $750 billion trade opportunity is likely far higher in their calculus.
Kinda crazy to see business leaders in SF give Communist President Xi a standing ovation considering his role in things that are wrecking our country like Covid & Fentanyl.
On one hand, it’s odd that a major American city would give VIP treatment to the nation’s top adversary. On the other, San Francisco is also the heart of West Coast liberalism, and therefore American communism.
One can easily imagine how the press might react had President Trump given Russian President Vladimir Putin the same grand entrance at Mar-a-Lago. President Joe Biden is to China what Democrats claimed Trump was to Russia: that is, compromised by complex financial ties that raise significant conflicts of interest and warrant a congressional impeachment inquiry. What if the streets of Palm Beach, Florida were draped in Russian flags to greet President Putin after Donald Trump Jr. had accepted $3.5 million from an ex-Moscow mayor’s wife? Actually, the recipient of those millions was Hunter Biden, who also received an $80,000 diamond from a Chinese energy tycoon, sought to funnel millions from Chinese communist leaders directly into family bank accounts, and secured six-figure shopping sprees from Chinese businessmen.
Will the same people who raised a circus over ridiculous “pee tape” rumors about Trump and Russian prostitutes wonder if the Chinese have any more illicit films of Hunter Biden indulging in crack cocaine and hookers? We never found those pee tapes but there’s plenty of graphic porn online starring the first son.
But even beyond the Bidens’ entanglement in influence-peddling schemes involving prominent Chinese leaders, there’s good reason why Democrats might want to leave a good impression on the world’s leading civil rights offender. A Federalist analysis of federal campaign donations found that companies credibly accused of harnessing Chinese slave labor overwhelmingly donated to Democrats. Of the nearly $40 million that went to congressional candidates between the two major parties in 2020, Democrats took home more than 85 percent while Republicans received less than 15.

How did the escalating trade war between the United States and China contribute to an opportunity to mend fences and strengthen economic ties?
E escalating trade war between the United States and China saw this as an opportunity to mend fences and strengthen economic ties.
However, the spectacle that unfolded was not only a display of hospitality but also a revealing portrait of the priorities of the Democratic Party. For years, San Francisco has been plagued by rampant homelessness, drug addiction, and filth on its streets. It has become a symbol of the failure of Democratic policies and the decline of American cities.
Yet, in preparation for President Xi’s visit, city officials engaged in a frenzied effort to clean up the city. Streets were power-washed, trash was removed, and the unsightly tents of the homeless were temporarily hidden from view. The transformation was nothing short of astonishing. San Francisco went from being a derelict wasteland to a pristine playground for a foreign dignitary.
The contrast between the treatment of President Xi and the neglect of San Francisco’s own citizens could not have been starker. Democratic leaders, like Governor Gavin Newsom, acknowledged that the cleanup was solely motivated by the presence of “fancy leaders.” This admission exposed the Democrats’ prioritization of optics over the well-being of their constituents.
It is not surprising that this hypocrisy did not go unnoticed. Social media users were quick to point out the irony and share images of San Francisco streets before and after the cleanup. The city’s transformation into a sanitized facade for President Xi’s visit was seen as a betrayal of the city’s residents and a clear demonstration of the Democrats’ disregard for the concerns of ordinary Americans.
This incident raises broader questions about the Democrats’ approach to foreign policy and their willingness to appease foreign adversaries at the expense of their own citizens. If Donald Trump, as the Democrats often claimed, were a covert agent of the Kremlin, would he have given the Russian president the same red-carpet treatment? The answer, of course, is no.
While it is important to engage in diplomacy and maintain cordial relations with foreign leaders, it should never come at the cost of neglecting the needs of American cities and their residents. The Democrats’ eagerness to please President Xi and their lack of concern for the plight of San Francisco only further erodes trust in their ability to prioritize the well-being of the American people.
As we move forward and navigate the complex global landscape, it is crucial that our leaders prioritize the interests and concerns of the American people above all else. The Democratic Party’s treatment of President Xi and the neglect of San Francisco’s streets serve as a stark reminder of the need for accountability and a renewed focus on the issues that truly matter to the American people.
