Donald Trump landed in Beijing this morning for a two-day, high-stakes China summit - and he brought a clown car's worth of delegates from the worlds of finance and tech in a clear attempt to flex the power of the United States during his talks with Chinese president Xi Jinping. Also joining: the secretaries of the Treasury, Defense, and State - the latter of whom appeared to do an extremely weird sartorial bit aboard Air Force One - and the vaunted director of the Melania documentary and the Rush Hour movie franchise.

As Brazilian philosopher Marilena Chauí reminds us, the word derives from the Latin colere, which means "to take care of." In that sense, agriculture means taking care of the soil, while religious cults are the care of the gods.
