What a difference a year makes!
China’s leaders snubbed Barack Obama during his last trip to Asia
The Chicoms refused to provide a staircase to Air Force one and forced him to exit from the “ass” of the plane.
But that was before Trump.
Candidate Donald Trump slammed Obama after the Chinese exit saying,
“If that happened I would say thank you very much. Close it up. I’m going back to Washington. Boom”
On Wednesday the Chinese rolled out the red carpet for Donald and Melania Trump.
The Daily Mail reported:
Chinese officials rolled a large set of stairs to the aircraft’s door on Wednesday, avoiding any appearance of the kind of insult that greeted former president Barack Obama in 2016.
Obama was denied use of an airport staircase when he deplaned Air Force One last September as he arrived in China for the annual Group of 20 summit – a move that was seen globally as a major snub.
