Sec. Bessent makes it official. trump was lying about tariff negotiations.

[BluesLegend]

and said he did not know if the U.S. president had talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping

I stopped right there, DUH! In related news a cabinet official is about to get fired!

 

[Zincwarrior]

Which part of "he did not know" is difficult for you to understand?

Why wouldn't he know? He is the Treasury Secretary.

 

[Thinker101]

Which part of "he did not know" is believable since he's the treasury sec.? "I don't know" is obviously a weaselly way to get out of directly saying no. Time to put your thinking cap on.

Alrighty, so it took you clowns 4 years to (halfway) realize Biden had mental acuity issues (even though most of you still deny) and Biden didn't realize his Defense Secretary had been MIA for, what, two weeks and was put under anesthesia during that time? But you expect Bessent to get minute by minute updates from Trump?

You can't hate the dirty rotten media enough. Suddenly Radishface brushes it off as back and forth? But not if it goes down?

 

[Concerned American]

he did not know if the U.S. president had talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

I guess you just skip over the parts of the story that don't fit your narrative. ^^^

By 2012 the Dow had recovered from the losses incurred by the Bush recession. If you were down 50% you need a new money manager.

China says it’s evaluating U.S. overtures to initiate talks on trade​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/china-says-its-evaluating-us-overtures-to-initiate-talks-on-trade.html

More evidence trump was lying a few days ago when he said negotiations with China were ongoing.

Bessent does not back up Trump on China tariff discussions​

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday did not back President Donald Trump's assertion that tariff talks with China were under way and said he did not know if the U.S. president had talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The thing is, trump lying has become so normalized hardly anyone bats an eye when another one is exposed. Still, the Sec. of the Treasury undercutting Don on national TV so soon after he told the lie about negotiations with China is a bit unusual.

The good news for trump is it will not diminish him in the adoring eyes of his base. Nothing ever does. The lies, the incompetence, the retention of incompetent staff (Hegseth), the policy disasters, the serial sexual abuse, none of it moves the needle with the ardently devoted. He has convinced them he is their retribution when in fact they facilitate his endless capacity for it.

Lol then China lied when they said Trump reached out for negotiations? They can't both be lying can they?

Trump Makes Bonkers Claim About All His Trade Deals​

The New Republic
https://newrepublic.com › breaking-news
3 days ago — Donald Trump has made the outrageous claim that he's struck a whopping 200 trade deals with foreign leaders during his 90-day pause on his on his “reciprocal tariff” policy. But when pressed, the president refused to say with which countries any of the deals have been made.


There are only 195 countries in the world.

The lying orange DUMB-ASS.

Useful idiot doesn’t understand there are multiple trade deals with a single country.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The question a reporter asked trump last week was are there ongoing negotiations. trump said yes, but would not say who was doing the negotiating. He lied.

What's notable about it is it isn't notable when trump lies.

What’s the useful idiot Trump lie counter up to now? 40,000?

[BackAgain]

I wonder why hapless trolls like bug even bother to post their nonsense.

Does anyone with a brain buy anything that scumbag imbecile posts?

He goes from a claim in his thread headline that Scott B. disputes a claim made by our President when (in reality) all he said is that he didn’t know whether President Trump had discussed the topic with Chinese President Xi.

Not knowing is not the same as disputing.

Bug is a moron.
