The United States has a planet-sized PR problem that appears not just inexplicable but completely bizarre. But no matter what someone might think of him, President Donald Trump isn’t even in the same time zone as Xi Jinping, China’s autocratic president, on his own people. Nor was Trump responsible for a pandemic that threw the planet into two years of oppression, panic, and death.
