Trump Claims He’s Spoken With Xi Jinping. China Says Otherwise.
Trump Claims He’s Spoken With Xi Jinping. China Says Otherwise.
President Trump said “we’re meeting with China” on tariffs, comments aimed at soothing jittery financial markets. But Chinese officials say no talks have taken place.
President Trump, whose trade war with China has rattled financial markets and threatened to disrupt huge swaths of trade, suggested on Friday that he has been in touch with Xi Jinping, China’s president, even as officials in China insist that no negotiations are occurring.
Did Trump just have a conversation with a random Asian man and believe he was talking to Xi?
Perhaps Xi is in the room with him now.
Very possible he had a conversation with a low level diplomat who just smiled and nodded and told Trump what he wanted to hear.
He had a conversation with a clock at 11 pm
My first thought
Ha ha.
Similar things happened during his first term, too. He lies about the topics of a meeting, and if the meeting even happened.
It's ironic (moronic) that he would have more time to golf and have more support if he could stay quiet instead of putting out verifiable lies that no one asked for.
The same guy who pretends to wave at imaginary crowds when cameras are on him? Hard to believe he’d be dishonest.
The Orange Turd was talking to himself again.
