"Later in the discussion, Austin invoked Ghosh's phrase, claiming that, actually, Trump was the big dog. Let's be real, if there's a big dog at any table, it's President Donald Trump, she said. Blow and Avlon began laughing as Austin continued to make her point. And no, no, let's be honest with ourselves. You might not like him, but you have to agree he is crazy, and nobody wants to mess with him. The men continued to laugh as Blow called the argument hilarious."
Trump’s visit to China centered on whether he could secure deals and concessions from Xi Jinping. Panelists debated Xi’s forceful statement on Taiwan, noting it used tougher language than with previous U.S. presidents. Bobby Ghosh said Xi was signaling that he is the dominant figure and that mishandling Taiwan could lead to clashes and conflict. He attributed Xi’s approach to sensing weakness in Trump, arguing Trump arrived needing Xi for economic and geopolitical reasons. Emily Austin claimed Trump was the “big dog,” and panelists Charles Blow and John Avlon laughed as she argued that Trump being “crazy” could deter others from challenging him.
