Whe Trump launched his tariff war, be bragged about world leaders coming to kiss his ass. He was right as many world leaders did go to Washington to kiss his ass, especially American colonies and cronies. China and Russia and the BRICS countries were different. They couldn't careless about Trump and his tariffs.
Trump in his deluded D grade mind believed that Xi would also be coming to kiss his ass. When this did not happen, he increased his tariffs, imposed more sanctions and export control, thinking that it would work. Again nothing happened.
Subsequently Trump changed his tactic by making wild calls that he would be meeting Xi here and there. Again nothing happened. The world noticed that it was Trump that wanted to kiss Xi's ass and was begging Xi for an audience. Throughout the pitiful saga, Xi remained reticent, not saying a word while Trump jumped around, pulling his hair to wit's end.
Trump was so desperate to want to kiss Xi's ass that he again made a public announcement, without any confirmation from Xi, that he was flying to South Korea to meet Xi. Trump's visit to the APEC Meeting was just an excuse. He flew to South Korea only for one reason, to meet Xi. Xi kept Trump in suspense, without saying yes or no until the eve of the 30 Oct meeting.
If Xi did not agree to meet Trump, his trip to South Korea would be a waste of time. And because of this desire to meet Xi, Trump also made a side trip to Japan where he exposed his vulnerability of being a very sick person. It was very obvious that Trump was taking very potent drugs to keep up the appearance that he is well. But when the drug did not work fast enough, he was exposed as a dead man walking. He was moving around in the presence of Japanese PM and ministers like zombie Biden, not knowing why he was there, not knowing where to move to, needed to be guided in every step he took. Without the drugs they are pumping into his 79 year old body, Trump would be no different from Biden.
Immediately after meeting Xi in Busan, Trump flew back home, skipping the APEC Meeting that he pretended to attend, would have no choice but to attend to put on a show if Xi refused to see him. Yes, Trump flew all the way from Washington to Busan, South Korea, just to kiss Xi's ass. Karma for bragging too much. He was lucky that Xi was kind to meet him and even offered him a big present to bring home.

Looking at the situation, Trump probably scoot off early from the APEC meeting in Gyeongju, Seoul, to avoid humiliation. With Xi around, Trump probably realized that he just may have to play second fiddle, just like Joe Biden in Bali at the G20 meeting in 2022.
Trump is not a person that does not want exposure to boost his ego, so why did he leave Gyeongju early on October 30, when the real summit was due to start from October 31 to November 1? Analysts are now saying that Xi reaped much benefit with deals made with other APEC countries at the APEC meeting proper, while Trump's only got the opportunity to at last meet Xi and managed to talk about have made deals that are more akin to consensus for further detail fleshing out.
Erh, Trump will still boast that Xi went to South Korea to kiss his ass, LOL. Trump lives in an alternative world, not the world of reality, but a world of make believe.
In Trump's world a loss is a win, and a win is a landslide.
