PresiDented Trump is saying: "Look, I had a lengthy, substantive call with President Xi of China last night, and he told me in so many words that we had China over the barrel and he was ready to sit down at the table and give us virtually anything we wanted; that's what he said, 'virtually anything,' and his English was perfect. He also said he wants to help make America great again. . . . It was wonderful, . . . like a dream!"

As a side note. and one revealing blatant mendacity, Steve Mnuchin backed him up on this fabricated call as Vice points out:
"Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin later repeated the claim that there had been contact between the two sides, but would not say which officials from each side had been in touch."

PresiDented Trump is saying: "Let me tell you, every great leader here at the G7 supports America's trade war with China. . . . Furthermore, there is overwhelming support for readmitting Russia to the G7. They simply love the idea, just like they love me. . . . They were even going to pass a resolution to that effect, but they're too shy."
"G7 loves the American President!" . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!

PresiDented (Crazy King George) Trump is saying: "Beside ordering all U.S. businesses not to have any relationship with China, I have many more ideas of how to deal with them if they persist in their madness. . . . I could stop all Mandarin classes at our great universities. . . . I could order government maps to be re-drawn without China on them. . . . I could prohibit anyone from even saying 'China' if I wanted to . . . I can do these things by executive order and they would all be perfectly legal."
"I hereby order the tide to recede." Please come CAPTION PresiDented Donald Trump!!!

PresiDented Trump is saying: "Some say Greenland's glaciers are melting, so it would be a bad deal. . . . But if we went in there with all our scientists and engineers and especially developers (a subject I happen to know a lot about, probably more than anyone ever), we could get those icecaps healthy again, and frankly, I think it would be a great tourist spot. . . . And think of this, in Greenland there are no terrorists, Mexicans, Arabs, or Democrats. . . It's like a 'win, win, win, win, win.'"

PresiDented Donald ("Double-size that!" ) Trump is saying: "If you think about it, Greenland is a great deal. For instance, if global warming occurs, and I don't for a moment believe it will, then Greenland's ice will all melt and the seas will rise and places like Greenland and Siberia will be the only places life will be tolerable. . . . Not that I believe that will happen. . . . In the meantime, I'm removing all EPA regulations of coal burning plants as well as under-sea and national forest exploration for more petroleum reserves."

PresiDented Trump is saying: "If you want to know the truth, I really didn't know Jeffrey Epstein very well at all. . . . We both liked golf and shared a passion for history. . . . In fact, the last time I spoke with him, we were discussing Roman emperors and what happen to people who plotted against them and failed. . . . They were really very civilized about it. . . . But, like I said, I didn't know him very well at all."
