Key Points:

- Trump referred to Xi as “a brilliant man” and “a great gentleman,” even complimenting Xi’s physical appearance, which Meyers humorously compared to matchmaking enthusiasm.
- During Xi's visit to the U.S., including a red carpet welcome at Joint Base Andrews and a White House state dinner, Trump emphasized their “truly great friendship” based on mutual respect and shared interests.
- Seth Meyers used these clips to illustrate Trump’s apparent priority of personal rapport with Xi over substantive diplomatic issues.
