Is Trump in love with Xi Jinping?!

About this episode

Nikki and Jarv discuss Trump's relationship with China and Xi Jinping.

Trump is in China and can’t seem to tell they’re getting one over him. Is it because he’s naive or because he actually wishes his government worked a bit more like the CCP? Nikki and Jarv discuss.
