    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.

    I love that China is just done pretending with him.

    “Trump did x with China!”

    China: “Literally no. He did no such thing.”
