What's even the point of this? Blatantly lying about stuff like that is just going to destroy any credibility he could have left

Market manipulation is the point. Every time he makes a statement the market reacts which allows people who are in on it to make money hand over fist.

Also Trump's voterbase will believe anything he says over anything Xi says

Although, I doubt he even cares what they think. His constituents are the financial capitalists whose interests he represents.

There's no credibility to lose at this point. He has been lying for his entire life, no way he's stopping now.

Trump blatantly lied all the time as part of his career in real estate. Why would we expect anything different now?

Geopolitical news headlines reading like crazy-ex stories. What a time we live in.

He fucked around and now he is finding out.

China called his bluff on the tariffs, Americans need cheap plastic crap from target more than china needs anything we have.

Trump is desperate to quickly make this appear as a win so he can pull back the crazy tariffs but Xi is mocking him.
