How many times have they done this to foreign leaders? Saying that a deal was made, when it wasn't. Trump is continually lying and his staff just goes along with it, even to the point of having embarrassing video out there as he repeats what they tell them infront of the camera.

They are pathological liars, but what I don't understand, is why do they think this improves their negotiating hand?
