Look what you did to Godzilla, Joe

In case you missed it, the Master of Foreign Policy and Duke of Diplomacy Joe Biden recently called China's President a "dictator".  NBC News: "U.S. senior officials caught off-guard by Biden's calling Xi a 'dictator'."
WASHINGTON — Senior U.S. officials said Wednesday that they were caught off guard when President Joe Biden described Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “dictator” — just 24 hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Beijing and appeared to reach a breakthrough in tense relations between the countries.
Today, Dementia Joe was asked about it:
Q    Thank you, Mr. President.  I have a question for the Prime Minister.  But first, a two-part question for you: Your comments at a fundraiser this week appear to be the first time in recent memory that a sitting U.S. president has called a Chinese leader a dictator.  Did those comments about President Xi undermine or complicate the progress your administration has made in maintaining a relationship with China?
Check out this...response:
PRESIDENT BIDEN:  The answer to your first question is: No.  You know, what — when we’re talking to our allies and partners around the world, including India, we let the — the idea of my choosing and avoiding saying what I think is the facts with regard to the relationship with India — with China is — is just not something I’m going to change very much. 

I think we — I believe that — and I’ve said this for some time — that the hysteria about the relationship with China is collapsing and moving, et cetera, et cetera — we had an incident that caused some — some confusion, you might say.  But President — but Secretary Blinken had a great trip to China.  I expect to be meeting with President Xi sometime in the future, in the near term.  And I don’t think it’s had any real consequence.
It would take you weeks to diagram a typical Joe Biden sentence.

This must be more of your assiduous avoidance of Trump on this blog.
