As though Trump‘s English has improved at all lately.

That's the only reason I immediately realized it was satire before I noticed the source. lol

Xi went on to say that Trump’s comprehension of the language was still so poor that the Chinese delegation could use English to openly discuss sensitive issues in his presence without fear he would understand them.

Xi's paying a tiny bit of attention this time.
