2. Catch 22... A clever way to bait Media into attacking a statement that is a twisted truth...

Obviously the statement is written in such a way as to imply that this is a New, unprecedented export agreement....

But the minute MSM counters his statement, 45 will sieze on the opportunity to use the counter story as proof of a Biased Media
who Attack all of his statements and
allege they are false even when they are not false...
And therefore he will no longer have press conferences
And he will declare all MSM outlets to be FAKE NEWS / LIberal PROPAGANDA outlets that
Effective immediately are
No longer covered by any FREE PRESS rights afforded by law....

His claim will be that
He was simply announcing a 'renewed contract' of sorts ('once again' ... this year just like last year)

And will justify it as a News worthy event because of the current relationship status between US / NK / CHINA

And claim that his intent was to highlight the strength of the China/US relationship....


It's a trap.
