Trump winces during military flyover at Xi arrival ceremony
The clip spread online as viewers debated whether the loud military display signaled discomfort or a health concern.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump mocked former President Joe Biden during a White House tour with Xi Jinping, replacing Biden's portrait with an "autopen" to suggest aides handled his official duties.
- Trump installed the Presidential Walk along the West Colonnade last September, inspired by his May visit to Beijing's Great Hall of the People to showcase past leaders.
- Pointing at the portraits, Trump explained, "It's Biden," while joking about the device. Xi laughed as Trump claimed the autopen proves the former leader "didn't know what the hell he was doing."
- Former GOP congressman Joe Walsh called the display a "despicable cheap shot," while former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul reacted, "As an American, I find this so embarrassing."
- As the leaders attended a state dinner organized by Melania Trump, Mississippi Senator Wicker warned the president should prioritize discussing China's "massive military build-up" over such displays.
