## Resource

The pillow offering at the Chinese banquet Mike just caused the US Beijing temperatures to rise at a skyrocketing level. Was the offer of the thick pillow adjuster of comfort or a meme jab at DJ T.? Will Trump leave China early because of seemingly disrespect or will he take the pillow as a gesture of comfort? All of that, and more in this episode as we dissect the smallest nuances in the ground baking meeting between the United States and Beijing.
