Xi is worried. Its the only reason he has decided to make the trip.
Diplomatically, the only foreign visit Trump has committed too thus far was today. To visit King Charles the III, after the King sent his Prime Minister to deliver an engraved invitation.
I am still sperging about this right now. This is old school power politics. And for once the UK is not being a faggot. The Japanese Prime Minister missed a trick. He could have had the Emperor of Japan invite Trump, and instead the first foreign visit would be to Japan instead of the UK. The point is however that the Emperor is enthroned, and the Crown of America has been placed on a mortals head for the first time in almost a century.
Those who understand this dynamic, are reacting appropriately. Those who don't, are seething about how horrible it is. Calling it everything from Fascist to Totalitarian. Its neither.
A Man endured the tribulation of heaven, and was made to suffer before the gaze of an entire nation. Heaven responded to that mans will, and the people followed. This isn't fascism. This is fundamental human psychology if you want to get all boring scientific about it. If you want to be poetic about it, then Heaven has rendered its verdict on a mortal and has elevated him to power as Emperor.

And lives in the mind of his people enthroned.

I don't think anyone has fully internalized just what has happened. A Great man of history saw the crown of America in the gutter, and plucked it from the mire. And the people then placed that crown upon his head. Fukiyama needs to go find the nearest bridge and jump from it.
