Mayor Pete to Trump: When the Wind Changes, Some People Build Walls and Some People Build Windmills

Trump questioned Buttigieg’s diplomatic ability, chiding:

“We have that young man, Buttigieg, boot-edge-edge, they say boot-edge-edge. He’s got a great chance, doesn’t he? He’ll be great representing us against President Xi of China. I want to be in that room, I want to watch that one.”

Mayor Pete responded to Trump’s doubts with a Chinese proverb that fit the circumstances in more ways than one.

Buttigieg said:

“You can’t get too worried about the name calling and the games he plays I was thinking of a Chinese proverb that goes, when the wind changes, some people build walls and some people build windmills.”

I thought Dorito Head was the "young" man. Aww he must be scared of Mayor Pete. I wonder how long until he goes after Pete's home life. He won't be able to resist. The brownshirts at his rallies will help him along. Just like the "shoot immigrants" thing the other night in FLA. Will he go that low? It will be a good measure of his desperation.
