I wonder if this will get to the point where trump claims china signed a deal and america won the trade war, but cargo ships still aren't coming

What's even the point of this? Blatantly lying about stuff like that is just going to destroy any credibility he could have left

There's no credibility to lose at this point. He has been lying for his entire life, no way he's stopping now.

Market manipulation is the point. Every time he makes a statement the market reacts which allows people who are in on it to make money hand over fist.

Also Trump's voterbase will believe anything he says over anything Xi says

Although, I doubt he even cares what they think. His constituents are the financial capitalists whose interests he represents.
