Can you imagine them trying this shit with Trump? He wasn’t treated like the president of the most powerful country in the world because with him as president we aren’t. But things are going to change soon.

Since July, Biden has become the least powerful sitting president in history. This after obvious dementia, not being able to deter Putin, licking Iran's butthole and humiliating us in Afghanistan.

He's an afterthought being treated as such.

Say what you will about Trump, but he owns the room.

Here's Trump at the APEC summit in 2017.... standing in the back row:

How could that be?

There's a new sheriff in town, and he is being treated like Cleavon LIttle in "Blazing Saddles".

Trump earns 3 inch lifts. Kitten heels. He also wears a diaper and a girdle made of hard plastic. And he LOVES Arnold Palmers dong

So the answer is:

Generally, the order of world leaders in the photo at this meeting is alphabetical by country. So Canada and China end up in the front row, while Russia and US are in the back row. Nothing to do with marginalizing any particular country.

Seems doctorevil and Puddy Tat have egg on their face for falling for this ruse from the right wing New York Post.

^ What did i say above about Biden that isn't true? He's been treated like an afterthought since that day in July.

Meanwhile Trump looks like a dad surrounded by his kids. Guess other world leaders are midgets.

You responded as if you believed it was true.

Nice try, but no cigar: "The order of world leaders is alphabetical by country, although a review of past APEC family photos show national positions aren’t fixed. In 2017, then-President Donald Trump took a choice center spot in two group photos — once in the front row, once in the back — for the APEC summit in Vietnam, the only such gathering he attended."

And how do you explain Peru providing an airport red carpet reception and state dinner for Xi, but not Biden? OK, so Biden couldn't attend a state dinner anyway because it would interfere with his 7PM bedtime, but the only reason he didn't get full honors at arrival is because Peru and the rest of the world views him as irrelevant, which he is. Does anyone really believe he is in charge of the government?

^ you are aware that Peru has a socialist president who just wants to establish a socialist state they’ve been trending left throughout the last 10-15 years.

^^ Yep it appears the APEC default is alphabetical order, but there have been some exceptions. Trump has photos both in the back and front, and Biden does too. The fact Biden was in the back row in the photo you linked is not evidence that Peru snubbed him.

Likewise all APEC world leaders had the red carpet treatment at the Lima Palace. So now your argument is the reception they had at the airport? From what I can find Biden had a military reception at the airport. But really, who cares about this level of detail to try to make an argument on whether Peru snubbed someone?

You were fooled, and now grasping for straws to defend yourself.

Diplomatic customs and courtesies are all about the details. Fact is, Trump was placed out of order to be in the center in previous APAC photos while Biden was snubbed at the photo shoot and at the airport.

While Trump was in the back in this photo:

and Biden in the front in this photo:

It's all pretty stupid shit to debate.

We already talked about the 2017 photo, and of course Biden is going to be front and center in the 2023 photo when the US was the host country (duhh). If you think its stupid shit to debate why do you keep debating it? Just take the L and move on.

^ China is doing this while we're lecturing the Middle East and Africa on LGBTQ rights. Hopefully Trump stops this madness.

25, yes I was aware of the Chinese built port, and certainly that was a key reason for Peru to show special deference to China. And it's not just Peru. China is now the largest trading partner with most of South America.

China is investing heavily all over the world with their Belt and Road initiative. We’re not going to be the dominant nation unless we get our own projects up and running. We need to offer better quality alternatives.
