Trump’s trip to meet Xi Jinping wasn’t diplomacy. It was a business meeting disguised as foreign policy. Any serious president Democrat or Republican would bring national security staff, State Department experts, and career diplomats into meetings with a geopolitical rival like China. That’s standard practice. It’s how governments protect national interests and avoid reckless mistakes. Trump chose not to. No experienced diplomatic team. No policy specialists. No independent officials in the room to provide oversight or accountability. Just Trump operating behind closed doors with one of the most powerful leaders on Earth. And that tells you everything. This was never about helping American workers crushed by rising costs. It was never about creating stable trade agreements or reducing dependence on Chinese manufacturing. It wasn’t about lowering prices for struggling families trying to survive inflation and tariffs. It was about access. Influence. Money. When you remove the professionals whose job is to protect the public interest, negotiations become opaque. And opaque negotiations are where personal favors, private business interests, and billionaire connections thrive. The people who were promised economic relief won’t see the benefits of whatever came out of those meetings. The winners will be the wealthy insiders orbiting Mar-a-Lago the donors, investors, and political loyalists who always seem to cash in while ordinary Americans get stuck paying more. Strip away the ceremony and the cameras, and this wasn’t a diplomatic mission. It was a private networking event for the elite.
