Donald Trump is visiting Xi Jinping in China, giving late-night hosts plenty of material to joke about. In a “Daily Show” clip, Jordan Klepper compares the Chinese president discussing the Thucydides Trap—a concept about a rising power leading to war—with Trump talking about Chinese restaurants in the U.S. outnumbering fast food chains. Klepper humorously remarks, “That’s my president, simplifying geopolitics into fast food terms, like a third grader presenting on China.”
Klepper also discusses a meeting where Xi reportedly warned Trump about handling the Taiwan situation, leading to Trump avoiding the topic at a press conference. Klepper jokes, asking why Trump didn’t want to discuss Taiwan, suggesting he preferred talking about other controversies.
