Whenever I hear of Marxist theory applied to the conditions of modern America it's always in relation to ML or Trotskyism, but I never hear Maoism brought up. Does Maoism have any application to current day America?

Landlords are often working class folks who read Rich Dad Poor Dad and learned how to exploit fellow working class people’s labor. The corporate class does not want to spend their resources renting out their land. They steal all our labor at work. Not to say their aren’t corporatists who are landlords, but that’s not the majority of landlords. The landlords in the U.S. may not have tons of capital, but because they aren’t in poverty and can control people’s lives they are willing to hold onto the power with a death grip.
Chinese landlords weren’t rich slave owners like in the west, but they the still abused the peasants and refused to allow them to get a proper education or fair pay and often worked them to death. So even though they weren’t rich, they also weren’t peasants.

I mean it’s two different countries in two different time periods I would assume there would be some differences, I also see quite a bit of overlap.

Maoist landlords weren’t working class traitors?
