Trade war summed up

can someone explain these terms to someone who has never played poker?
- 1st panel: Trump bets all his money. Normally this is done either if you are confident you will win (like if you have a winning hand). Or if you are trying to win by bluffing (lying by signaling that you have a winning hand when you don't have one). But a good player would only bluff if they thought the other player has little chance of having a winning hand, especially if betting all chips. Ideally, you would only go all in if you had a low chance of having a winning hand but somehow got one and the other player thinks you're bluffing so they stay in the game.
  2nd panel: Xi calls Trump's bluff and matches Trump's bet, because he knows he will win.
  3rd panel: Trump realizes that his bluff was called and he will probably lose.
  4th panel: Trump forfeits all his money to Xi. There is now no way to get his chips back. It would be better to continue to play on the off chance that Xi was bluffing and they both have bad hands but Trump's was slightly stronger than Xis. At the very least it would reveal if Xi was bluffing or not and what his hand was. However by folding not only does he give all his money to Xi but he also learns nothing about his opponents strategies.
  Basically this is something the worst poker player in the world might do.

  Has Trump ceded any money to Xi? He did go all in but hasn't he taken it almost all out again?
- All-in - you've put in everything you have.
  Call - You match the current bet.
  Folding - exiting the hand, forfeiting the money you've bet so far.
  Folding after being all-in is pointless, because you have nothing left to lose and I don't even think you can technically do it, but you're a complete and utter moron if you do it and should probably not be playing poker for money.

You can easily tell it's AI, because Trump's hands are too big.
- And there is a picture he realizes he's fucked up. Never happens irl
- the only good use of AI slop
  
  I agree. Making memes is fun with AI. I would like to make some, but I am so technically illiterate, that I don't even know how to generate an image from a prompt.
- And he's kind of smiling in the first frame.
- Xinnie the Pooh changes places with Trump, judging by the table.
  
  And the chip count is wildly inconsistent for whats assumed to be 1 hand

Meh AI, but I do like the idea of folding on an All In. You generally can't do that, but given the rule breaking this administration does, I can see it.
- You can do it...it's just really fucking dumb. It's a great way to give someone all your chips.
  
  I've seen it when someone doesn't want to expose exactly what hand they had. A high pair 'all in' is very different to a 2, 7 unsuited hand.
  
  I only ever play poker in digital contexts and they always just assume you're not going to fold, button greyed out, game auto plays, etc. I imagine irl, they will just laugh at your stupid ass.

I don't think he ever believed his own BS on this one. He's pumping and dumping the whole stock market on his tariff announcements.
- Yeah, but I think this is more about those art of the deal folks who still have to pretend he's a master negotiator.

The chip stacks changing all the time bothers me.
- That's because they're not his chips, and how many he has depends on how many his owners give him.
- Both sitting at the same location is worse for me. But overall it is okay.

Bluffer turned fluffer. Explains him

I hate that it's AI, but it's so gorram true...
- This feels like what it should be used for though. Dumb, low effort memes, where the idea is more important that the quality or fidelity of the art.
  
  I'm trying to think of how this would be done without AI, actually, and I don't really know.
  It is funnier with Trump and Xi here. Maybe. Maybe stock photo could have worked, but... I dunno.
  It is funnier with Trump's facial expression in the third panel.
  We obviously don't have pictures of Trump and Xi playing poker.
  I do agree that the idea here is much more important than the visuals.
  I'm just really struggling to be upset with this one.
  
  Which is why I hate it.

Trump with a sissy Pair.
Xi with at least a threatening Full House.

Anti AI people gonna come shit on this. I’m anti-AI but they ain’t asked me.
- "Eww, slop"
  "But also, it's a stupid joke. Low effort joke made with low effort means..."
  "...eww, low effort slop."
  
  It's a good joke, but it would have been better for the environment to make it in Photoshop, Gimp or sth similar

This made me laugh.

he needs putin at the table so he folds, even witha winning hand.
