Chinese president, Xi Jinping, is a communist dictator who is literally committing genocide. Donald Trump called Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig” and wrote mean tweets. In Time magazine’s annual 100 Most Influential People, they slobber all over the killer commie, while calling Trump a “menace to democracy.”
I guess it’s nice that Time actually included Trump in their list of people most of you have never heard of, but seriously, look at this:
On his very first day as President, Donald Trump stood on hallowed ground at the CIA and boasted of holding “the all-time record in the history of TIME magazine” for being on the cover. That record is actually held by Richard Nixon, the other modern President in competition for doing the most violence to values, norms, honor and decency undergirding American democracy.
In 2021, Trump arguably surpassed Nixon as a menace to the Constitution. American democracy catches its breath in between the lines of the founding text; it depends for its resilience and moral power on a shared commitment to both individual freedom and the common good. Trump’s only rule is ruthlessness; he sees norms as opportunities for vandalism, a window left open in our intricate constitutional structure that he can crash through.
Trump’s assault on the Justice Department, his extortion of foreign allies, his obsession with domestic enemies all rhyme with Nixonian villainy and go further.
It goes on like this for quite some time but you get the idea.
Now compare that with they had to say about Xi Jinping:
I have met with President Xi Jinping around 30 times, and we have chatted one-on-one on some occasions, but for the sake of time and space, I would like to highlight three points when I talk about President Xi.
First, President Xi loves his country and his people dearly. When he invited me to China for a state visit, I asked him where I should go while there. He replied, “Come visit my ancestral home in Shaanxi province. Wonderful place.” I added that I wanted to visit Inner Mongolia and meet a local family. He again replied very kindly.
Second, President Xi has no arrogance. He treats people or counterparts from other countries as equals, although there is no doubt that he is the most influential politician in the world today.
Sounds like a hell of a guy. Certainly nowhere as big as a villain as Donald Trump.
Of course Trump never committed genocide on an ethnic minority or unleashed a plague upon the world, but he did make fun of Elizabeth Warren for pretending to be an Indian, so clearly he’s the worst.
As an added bonus, Time had nothing but nice things to say about Taliban leader, Abdul Ghani Baradar:
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar is revered among the Taliban as a founding member of the movement in 1994, a charismatic military leader and a deeply pious figure.
When the Taliban swept to victory in August in Afghanistan, it was on the terms Baradar negotiated. He was said to be making all the major decisions, including the amnesty offered to members of the former regime, the lack of bloodshed when the Taliban entered Kabul and the regime’s contacts and visits with neighboring states, especially China and Pakistan.
A quiet, secretive man who rarely gives public statements or interviews, Baradar nonetheless represents a more moderate current within the Taliban, the one that will be thrust into the limelight to win Western support and desperately needed financial aid.
According to Time, the leader of a the world’s biggest terrorist organization is a better guy than Donald Trump. I forget, did Trump ever throw homosexuals off a building, stone women to death for driving, or behead journalists?
Time magazine has outdone themselves with the Trump Derangement Syndrome and CCP propaganda. The only saving grace here is, who actually reads Time magazine?
