Your takes get more and more bizarre. Ignore my actual post and go straight to another strawman. There are more responses available to Trump, plently of middle ground between attempting to start a war and praising a guy who puts his opposition in concentration camps.
FYI, Trump's not in the White House. So if you believe his flattery is somehow meant to defuse Xi's ambitions or sate his bloodlust, it can't have much effect coming from a guy who isn't in power, and will never be in power again. Or maybe he really does think Xi is handsome, and just couldn't help himself. Sort of like he couldn't help himself when he was lamenting that he was Ivanka's father, because "what a beauty".
