Well, there weren't any phone calls from China about negotiating trade deal.

[mobeau69]

Asked about trump's claim in meeting with Modi, Mnuchin, speaking for the president, would only say "there have been discussions".

Took about an hour to confirm that trump lied again.

1. After the beating the Dow took on Friday,,,what did you expect?

Anything to BRAG that he SAVED the country from the brink of disaster that HE caused.

[mobeau69]

2. China's FM immediately stated he had no knowledge of the two phone calls claimed by trump.

You'd think the dumbass would have learned by now that his BS is gonna get fact checked. What a fucking clown.

Pretty sad situation when the word of Red China is more reliable than the word of the president of the US.

4. This comes to mind???

16. But remember

The truth and facts are not something that his base considers...his word is all that matters!

[Botany]

3. Trump, "China called last night."

Don't tell me that Trump lied.

5. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

A lying liar and a fucking lunatic

[Botany]

6. He lies about everything 24/7 and even things that are easy to check out such as his ...

.... height and weight.

[greymattermom]

7. He lies about his height!

And Justin Trudeau is 6'2". And he stands next to him and many photographs are taken. And the press still reports his height as 6'3". The stock market futures changed because he liked about a phone call. This has to stop. Who will be the child who points out that the emperor is naked?

[Botany]

8. And Melania had a 4 year degree in design and architecture, Don finished top of his class @ Wharton,

Don is a billionaire, the Trump campaign had no contacts with Russia, and on and on.

Trump is like 12,000 lies so far as President and our great liberal media doesn't say shit.

As of August 12, 2019 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/12/president-trump-has-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days/

[iluvtennis]

21. Indeed. Yet many in the M$M still try to normalize him. nt

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

9. Just to avoid market slide

All news outlets reporting markets set to open high.

Based on a lie smdh

[mobeau69]

10. The pulled back a little but you're right, up based on his lie. Hard to understand it.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Mnuchin meant Trump have "discussions" with himself (again).

[Johnny2X2X]

12. A recession is likely unavoidable

But Trump will "win" on China. He's already won really, zero leaders have questioned our deal with China and maybe it isn't really very bad. Is the trade deal with China perfect? Heck no, like all deals it's some good and some bad. We need to do something to reign China in in regards to IP theft. But know that trade with China has created a truly global economy that has lifted millions out of poverty. Can the deal be better? Absolutely, but people are just conceding the point to Trump that it was the worst deal ever.

He'll cut a crummy deal with China, it won't do much for US workers, but he'll act like he's made a massive deal that is meaningful. But deal or no deal, doesn't really matter, the recession is likely already written in stone.

[BSdetect]

13. He lies like others breathe. Incapable of telling the truth.

[duforsure]

14. His pattern doesn't change and he lied

China can't trust him, hate him, and won't go to the table with him . Trump then will claim China wants to wait until after the elections hoping the Dems are in control for a better deal. China cannot trust anything he says or agrees to, so why deal with him if they don't have to. They want him out just like a lot of other countries do now. Xi is not trump's friend like he claims. Its always the opposite of what he says, and probably with Kim too, and his letters claims are all more lies from trump.

17. The Markets

The wild fluctuations of the markets make a L O T of money for those selling short, then going long, then going short...(repeat). Now, it's not the average or even above average investors or accounts that reap these benefits but there are those who do. And the numbers are staggering.

Remember tRUMP called (on his unsecured private phone) Carl Icahn to discuss Aluminum tariffs. Shortly after AND BEFORE tRUMP put tariffs on Aluminum, Ichan SOLD his Aluminum shares.

Is the SEC looking into that?
Is the SEC looking into the tRUMP family and inner circle who absolutely KNOWS before he rattles the market????

Eliz Warren said it best: tRUMP and his family are " MONEY GRUBBING GRIFTERS".

Just sayin...

[Danmel]

19. Exactly

[Joe941]

22. Who knows what happened.

I'm not going to believe either party. Communist China isn't exactly a reliable source - they spew as much propaganda as anyone. Make no mistake China is not our friend.
