Two months ago, Trump accused China of “sinister election meddling” in the 2020 presidential contest he lost. But when he finally came face to face this week with China’s president, Xi Jinping, any public hint of that concern vanished. nytimes.com/2026/09/25/u... The #ElectionLie is all a charade.

Not Long Ago, Trump Accused China of Election Meddling. Today, ‘Great Friendship.’
President Trump softened much of his stance toward China as he prepared to host its leader. But his disregard of a topic that has consumed him — the 2020 election — was particularly stark.
