    I don’t understand how that is embarrassing. It’s a good American song.

      His wife called the song and little dance he does to it gay and embarassing or something along those lines. I’m uncertain if the Chinese were aware of this though.

      It’s a song encouraging homeless people to use the YMCA for housing and a meal. It could be a subtle jab at the state of homelessness in America while pretending to celebrate American culture. Might be a stretch though.

        It does sound like a stretch, but it is the kind of stretch I appreciate

        It’s because Trump likes the song. It’s not that deep. Or if it is it doesn’t matter because to Trump it’s just a song that he likes.

      Trump likes it and used to do the dance even though it is the gayest song ever. It’s literally telling gay men to go there to meet other gay men. It’s a master-level troll by Xi.

        yes, but I think both Trump and Xi’s queerphobia is a little more complex than gay stuff is embarrassing. I am sceptical of this even being a troll

          All China does is troll Trump. They exactly know what they were doing. They just treated him like a toddler.

          China has had a shitload of returnees and they know how to do things now. Chinglish is all gone. Buses and trains run on time and nobody gets stabbed. Fake English teachers had their work permits declined for renewal.
