I’ve seen a lot of great theories and reasons why trump has been shilling for the vaccine but in the Candace Owens interview he also makes a point to praise Chinas education system while dissing our own.

Candace: “kids in masks, it looks like china right?” Trump: “Well, chinas education system is a hell of a lot better than ours. you know what? they’re rated number 2 or 3. The US is rated number 44.”

I know that the global ranking reflects this but why would he go out of his way to praise them, this bothered me. If a liberal said this I know we’d be clowning them - did this bother anyone else? any theories here? TY in advance fellow patriots. i know it’s 5D chess here.

edit: as i stated above, i know it’s factually correct in that the global rankings system reflects this. but when asked about kids in masks, why divert to saying a communist country is “a hell of a lot better” than us? just doesn’t sit well with me. You can say our education system needs work without making a comment on how a communist-ran, virus-breeding country is superior to the US.
