Remember when
President Obama arrived in Beijing and the formal staircase failed to show up on
the tarmac alongside Air Force One, and he was obliged to deplane through the service door at the back? A not so subtle
snub. When President Trump and Melania arrived
in Beijing the other day, not only was the rolling staircase there (see above), Sundance reports:
President Xi Jinping rolled out the red carpet
complete with marching band and joyful children for the arrival of President
Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
The pageantry was the highest level China
presents in public display honoring any visiting head of state; and U.S. Media never
carried it.
From
DC Whispers:
Chinese officials have shown
the current POTUS every courtesy, including opening up the Forbidden City to
him. This act itself is of great historic importance as it makes Mr. Trump the
first American president to be allowed to dine in the Forbidden City since the
creation of modern China.
To get a sense of
the scope of the ceremonial details and show of great respect to President
Trump, go to the Conservative Treehouse blogs – for example, here - for photos and videos
that most of the media are not running (e.g. USA Media Ignores Historic
Prime Time Broadcast of Official Beijing Welcome For President Trump…).
