Donald Trump Calls President Xi of China ‘World Class Poker Player’

Trump made headlines during a joint press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday, when he implied that Chinese president Xi Jinping might have what it takes to be a high-stakes grinder.

Donald Trump is always news anywhere :viking:

?

Yeah I read this then thought its gotta be a metaphor and I was right.

Interesting Abraham Lincoln part funded his presidential campaign through his poker winnings that is certainly revealing!

I think it was Richard Nixon who partly funded his first Congressional campaign through poker winnings but it sure does seem poker is popular with politicians. Interesting, huh?

Ah yes thats the first part of the paragraph whoops! Poker since Abraham Lincoln... still you never know he probably just hid it well!

A A. Well look at that. Hope he's on poker stars lol

Never know, right?!

He would probably be a lot better at poker than Trump, Xi doesn't bluff on Twitter like Trump does.

:top:

Well it is easy for him to be a good poker player, look at the China's economy, that's one gigantic stack.

He probably meant Pai Gow Poker! lol

Imagine playing poker with Donald Trump? hahahahaha

Yeah the Chinese are crazy prop traders they all invest their own income and when they take a loss for some reason they all fall. Seriously narrow minded investment strategy!!?

Let's do the North Korea world tour final.

I’d love to see these two heads up on the felt lol

I didnt know this one. Even though they have a busy life they still have time to play. Amazing...

He was calling him a strategist not a literal poker player. China wants a dependent and isolated North Korea and they generally are not intrested in things changing from how they currently are.

When Mike Pompeo went to North Korea expecting further diplomacy development and Kim showed up laughing at a Potato farm and lost it and could not stop laughing. He got tooled.

Most of the time, Poker is used as a metaphor in politics.
Because Poker is literally a metaphor of life. lol

Reminds me of two of the best books imo - 1. The Tao of Poker, and 2. Victor Boc's Five Secrets of Poker and Life.

Everyone knows asians love to gamble.

Yeah but what hand is he holding? lol I would say A10 same suit, while trump has pair of fours

Those dick-tators have to stick together. The hand? Five of a kind.

This is just a fait accompli. Donald just voiced it ))

world class poker player

I'm sure he would be a world class poker player. Those guys play poker with soldiers I'm sure tossing some money back n forth would be easy in comparison. I wanna see a military leaders and a politician tour it would be the most interesting game you ever watched

May very well be.

Trump gave a rambling address today as he declared his Wall state of emergency before jetting off for a long golf weekend. In it he proudly boasted about how his buddy Xi had screwed over the USA in the past, but now thanks to their great BFF relationship everything was going to be better. He has already gotten "Trillions" of dollars back and expects much more. Makes you wonder why with all those Trillions of extra dollars the $5 billion cost of the wall has become such a sticking point

Yup, Xi is working Trump.
