## Resource

Trump & Xi — the two big dogs on the planet — sat down to decide the fate of the 21st Century. Xi leans in... warns of the Thucydides Trap. Trump grins & drops: "We have a fantastic future together." Taiwan. Iran. Trade. Power. Ego. Is this the birth of a brand-new world order… or the opening act of something way more dangerous? You do NOT want to miss this one. Time to LEAVE ROOM FOR JESUS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vjkc6JOSck
