Fox news puts much more trust into Trump’s meeting
with China’s President Xi Jinping, opening with “by the time he welcomes
Chinese President Xi Jinping to Mar-a-Lago this week, President Trump will have
a briefcase full of notes about what topics he should raise.” The article then
explains which issues Trump will discuss, those including North Korea, fair
trade, currency manipulation, patent theft, rare earth, and cyber assault.
Following this, the article analyzes a Tweet that Trump tweeted just days in
advance, possibly giving more depth and foresight then deserved stating, “Trump
has already signaled via Twitter that he expects his meeting with Xi to be
difficult. That is like telling an employee “You are under performing,” instead
of “You’re fired.”. The article sprinkles bits of business lingo throughout,
extenuating Trumps previous profession. The articles most interesting point was
on natural minerals and production in both the United States and China.
Although it slights Chinese production by stating “Since it pays little
attention to the ecological damage done by strip-mining and smelting, it can
undercut competitors’ prices.”
Time news starts their article with a reference to an
infamous soundbite stating, “Donald Trump’s hands are a problem.” Setting a
clear tone of mockery. Later putting into question his hands and diplomacy
(which are used together as a sort of metaphoric jab). Then states, “Nothing
would be more stupid by Trump…The Chinese leader is a very serious man. Any
tricks that Trump wants to play would be perceived as some sort of
humiliation.” Which is a good analysis of the situation, although clearly
different from the Fox perspective. However, the news article continues to play
up Trumps “diplomatic” skills and then there is policy. With this, the article
referenced Trump’s early accusation on how “China is raping America”.
Proceeding was information on the international dynamics between Taiwan,
Philippines, and North Korea.
