Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the White House this week for some good old-fashioned diplomacy, but President Donald Trump wanted to help him feel as comfortable as possible.
Here are some ways Trump eased tensions and made him feel right at home:
- Panda Express catered the event: Mmm, authentic cuisine from the Orient.
- He instructed all White House staff to make their eyes slanted with their fingers: Just like being home.
- A lucky waving cat statue was placed at the White House entrance: All the best Chinese places have them.
- An after-dinner fortune cookie with a special message inside: “You will find happiness in a new trade agreement with reduced tariffs.”
- Spy balloon parade over the White House lawn: Most impressive.
- A large pot of honey to take home: Xi’s favorite treat.
- A gong was sounded every time Xi entered the room: BWONG!
- Trump showed off his favorite Hello Kitty backpack: Stylish.
- A DVD of the hit 1998 film Rush Hour: Xi is reportedly a huge Chris Tucker fan.
- Presented Xi with a valuable antique samurai sword: China and Japan are basically the same, right?
It was a visit that will go down in the history books.
