President Trump told Time magazine trade negotiations would be "finished" in 3-4 weeks.

This analysis from Ryan Grim is pretty funny.

    Lmao this country finally elects “a businessman” despite decades of everyone knowing their bosses just sit around taking calls acting like it’s “work” and then when they ask the president what he’s doing he goes “I took a bunch of calls in my office.”

    We fuckin deserve him. We really do.

    there’s zero chance Trump and Xi are talking. neither of these two have any idea how any of this works to the degree/level required to come to a trade deal with one another.

    when there are legit trade talks it’s going to be entire teams of people over the course of weeks/months with extreme technical understanding of commodities, manufacturing, currency, supply chains, etc.

      I’m not sure who you are referring to. Ryan Grim is a good reporter and he created DropSiteNews with Jeremy Scahill. Ryan Grim is making fun of Trump.

      The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said yesterday and today that there have been no negotiations. Xi has made no comment because Trump hasn’t talked to Xi.

      Trump told Time magazine that he had called Xi and that negotiations were happening.

          Ryan Grim was being sarcastic when he said that he called Xi. It’s a joke.

    Dear Xi, I wrote you, but you still ain’t calling
    I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
    I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not have got them
    There probably was a problem at the post office or something

    The lies don’t have to be good, they just have to be believed. This in turn means that bad lies are actually more powerful and useful, because believing them reinforces the ingroup. Questioning dear leader?! That’s grounds for a shunning!

      I too speak regularly with Chairman Xi. He says I am amazing and am the pride of the proletariat. … Do not attempt to confirm this with Xi, he said he would deny it.

    So those of us who want to continue living in a shared and objective reality can just go fuck ourselves, I guess?
