Frankly, if you are getting priced out of the market AFTER you take into account the flight ticket, transport and accommodations the china teams are paying just to come over, maybe you really should reconsider your business model.

It is not a democracy. But Trump just showcased the folly of the "superior" Murican democratic system to the world. A determined president holds a lot of power. Until now it remains to be seen which is better:
a dictator, or an out of control, democratically elected president ruling via executive decree

Or are they the same?

As crazy as trump is, he can be constrain by checks and balance. The recent postpone is a good example.
No such thing in China. Mass killing of birds, mass starvation, mass metal works, mass prosecution of land owners and educated, and the recent total lock down, uncontrolled housing prices, job market, mass retrenchment, KK Park, organ harvest, metal chain girl, food safety, mass children attack...

Not really. Any action that Trump takes is because it impacts him directly somehow. If he doesn't want to do something, there is not much that anyone can do. The check and balance system in the US is not really useful right now.

This is from a recent interview with Trump. Basically asked the Supreme Court to go fly kite.

QUOTE
“You could get him back. There’s a phone on this desk,” ABC News’ Terry Moran said to which the president responded “I could”. Moran added “You could pick it up and with all the power of the presidency, you could call up the President of El Salvador and say, ‘Send him back’.”

But President Trump blamed the US government’s lawyer and said he shouldn’t have said that it was a mistake to send Garcia back and claimed that Garcia is a member of the criminal MS-13 gang and “is not an innocent, wonderful gentleman from Maryland.”

The US government agreed in court last month that Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, was deported due to an administrative error despite a 2019 court ruling which barred the authorities from sending him back to El Salvador where his life could be in danger.

But the US authorities have since refused to bring back Garcia as they state they do not have authority to force El Salvador to return the Maryland man. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in an interaction with reporters had said “That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him. That’s not up to us.”

But u forgot the fact that trump is limited to 5 year (term) which is after that he bungkus liao.
Meanwhile xi is since 2012. Atleast US citizen has a say every 5 years
*
ahh yes, the founding fathers, in their wisdom, made it so that every president will be limited to 2 terms.

after all, how much damage can one man do in 4 years?

Trump: user posted image

lol, at this point I think the only sure thing preventing a Trump 3.0 is old age.

> 29sen army very bising when Trump talk about 3rd term, but when you ask whether Xi Jinping should step aside and let someone else lead, 29sen army can't answer you.

It is a different system. It is similar to workers in a company, at most you can elect supervisors or foremen. Then they work their way up the corporate ladder. No matter how you shout, you cannot change the CEO. Only the board can do that. There are pros and cons to this.

If you asked me, before Trump 2.0, which system is better, I would definitely say Murica with their checks and balances. No second thoughts. Today, I am not so sure.

Yeah man
4 yeas vs 13 years lol. Atleast i can confirm xi wont step down anytime soon. Trump expected in 4 years because u need 2/3 congress support to abolish 2nd term limit liao

Mamak 22 years, we also rilek je. We even re-elected the guy (via his party at that time)!

So what is 13 years lol?

Xi is 71, Trump is 78. Most likely there will not be Trump 3.0, Biden was 81 when Trump bullied him off the seat. Somebody else will bully Trump at that time laugh.gif

Hopefully sweat.gif

But that's the point. The US system, is dependent on the will of the masses choosing someone who won't bring the country to Holland.

If you get someone popular but ... well there is really not much anyone can do if he starts to act like a dictator.

Pros and cons la. Not all good, not all bad. In one or two generations, from a very poor country to the only country with the balls to stand up to Trump's bullying. That is admirable.

Hasn't Trump's Executive Orders got challenged in court.? If Trump is worse and out of control, it will only be for 4 years until a new President gets voted by the American people in 2028. Not so if President-for-life  Xi Jinping is worse and out of control.

Are they the same.?
.

But is Xi out of control? Still a round and fuzzy friend after 12 years.

We only had 100 days of Trump 2.0 before he executed a heel turn. Now he is this crazy orange guy threatening an island of penguins.

No they are not the same.
