Trump was referring to recent developments in Chinese politics. China's Communist Party has proposed repealing presidential term limits, which could potentially allow Xi to stay in power beyond the end of his second five-year term in 2023. Despite international concerns Xi would attempt to stay in power for life, the state-run People's Daily defended the constitutional change as an "important move" that wouldn't necessarily mean he would attempt it.
Trump, president for life?: 'Maybe we'll give that a shot some day' |
Don't you understand that he's a master troll? CNN picked up on it, they spin it into Trump wants to be king, and here you are repeating it. His goal is to point out liberal hypcrisy: Why do the democrats love communist China & don't care about their president declaring himself king? If it's fine for China then it's fine for Trump.
