It just makes no sense why he would lie to the world about something that China would easily know is a lie in the face of trying to broker deals with China. Especially about a situation involving a couple college delinquents. It would weaken Trumps negotiating position and give China leverage. Just doesnt make sense to mesomething that could be so easily desputed by China would be a stretch.
Trivial? Easily refuted? Donald Trump asserted that after 9/11, he owned the tallest building in NYC. [1] One need not even solicit a foreign power that isn't particularly given to full disclosure to find that is not the truth, and that is surely less trivial than the release of three Americans from Chinese forced sequester.
Why would China say anything about it? From their point, regardless of what the facts are, it either is too trivial for them to comment on, or they go what they wanted from the exchange and no value accrues to them by disputing Trump.
Note:
- Tell me how it is that a NYC real estate mogul at Trump's level of the "game," does not know whether he owns or doesn't own the tallest building in NYC. Such a person most certainly would know just as the woman with the biggest boobs in porn knows she's the owner of said boobs, or as the maker of the biggest truck or boat in the world knows they are the maker of such vehicles. Do you really think Bugatti didn't know what superlatives their Veyron didn't hold? Do baseball players not know what their ranking is as goes hits, home runs, at bats, etc? Quite simply, every holder of an objectively measured superlative knows they hold that "title."
What Trump likely also knew (knows) is that most people, even New Yorkers, probably have/had no idea what building, after the WTC buildings fell, was the tallest in NYC, and he played on their ignorance to make his claim. that he owned the tallest building in NYC after the WTC fell. I see no reason to think that as goes the matter of the boys whom China sequestered in their hotel room, Trump is again relying on people's ignorance and the unlikelihood that China will even remark upon the matter.
