    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.

      Going along with Trump’s most recent lies is how you show you are loyal/part of the cult. The lies also flush out people who are impelled to correct the historical record, marking them as enemies.

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