This morning Trump fabricated a story about China calling him to negotiate a trade deal.

[Snake Plissken]

for the sole purpose of illegally influencing the stock market before trading began. ... Which is both a criminal and impeachable offense

But I guess the media won't have time to mention it because they have to devote the entire news cycle to all his juvenile buffoonery that brings in the ratings.

1. The US corporate media prefers the "Democrats in disarray" meme. eom

[AJT]

2. The article doesn't disprove his claim of talking to China.

3. Whether China Did or Didn't Call ( I Suspect They Didn't) Trump is Setting up His Way Out

He'll tell his rube followers he negotiated an awesome deal when at best he moved us back to the status quo before he f**ked things up. Farmers will never recover though. Their agricultural market in China is probably gone forever.

4. I think the burden of proof falls on the compusive liar.

14. China did. They said that no contact has happened recently.

They flatout called him a liar (diplomatically).

[CarlitosMMT]

16. I think the Tsy Sec confirmed there were no calls

I read another article today where munchikin or whatever his fucking name confirmed that the Chinese hadn’t called.

15. +1, Trump did this in the 80s 90s multiple times !!!

[CanonRay]

6. Impeachment Count #5,398,664

and counting...

[BigmanPigman]

12. Or is that the total number of lies he has told this week?

[Vinca]

7. IMO, he's been manipulating the stock market for months.

The only question is who he calls the night before he makes the tweet/lie or whatever that either tanks it or makes it soar.

9. He's manipulating the stock market and making quadrillions for him and his friends

[struggle4progress]

10. "And I just got off the phone with Frederick Douglass!"

[rpannier]

11. His Chief Negotiator with China

Frederick is getting noticed more and more

il douche is such a &*$#%&^*@

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Don't believe anything that comes out of that pie hole. At all.

[NCLefty]

17. I wish I knew whether China wanted him to stay America's president to hurt us, or if they are tired

of him and will do things (like not giving him a deal) to help get rid of him.
