Trump tells anecdote about beating up on China's trade policies in speech in Beijing and seeing Xi Jinping looking irritated. "I said, 'How do we save this?' So I said, 'I don’t blame China, I blame our leaders.' Then I realized it’s true." — PolitiTweet.org

I remember that remark causing a gasp among reporters watching the speech. In Trump's telling, he was willing to criticize past U.S. leaders not out of a principled view of trade policy but just to save face with Xi in the moment. Only later did he think it through. — PolitiTweet.org
