Why Trump Is Suddenly Lying About Talking To Xi Jinping
“The lie by the US president about Xi Jinping is very significant and meaningful … “
We’re used to the idea that Trump lies a lot – even his supporters know this, although they will use euphemisms to make it sound ok.
Mallen Baker asks “But WHY has Trump suddenly started telling people that Xi Jinping has called him to discuss a deal on tariffs? It’s clearly not true. It’s clearly infuriating the Chinese and making it less likely they give him the deal he actually does want.”
So is Trump just making it up as he goes along (as is often the case), or is this laying the groundwork for the next move. No, we’re certainly not not talking about Trump playing ‘4D chess’ here. But perhaps there’s a purpose to what he’s currently doing. In his video Mallen Baker discusses what Trump may trying to do as the sun starts to set on a decaying US hegemony.
