Who Were Those Gullible People Who Believed Donald Trump’s Bullsh*t? His campaign promises, from peace in Ukraine to “beautiful” tariffs, were truly unbelievable. And yet, somehow, many people believed him.

When he was just a sleazy real estate grifter, Trump's compulsive lying was merely annoying. Now, as POTUS, he has an army of propagandists behind him insisting that he is American history’s great truth-teller.

It’s sick and it’s dangerous.

Trump says the U.S. and China are 'actively' discussing tariffs. Beijing says that's false. Global concern is growing amid a U.S.-China standoff over high tariff levels that amount to a mutual trade embargo between the world’s two largest economies.

NEW: China has directly contradicted President Trump’s claims that Beijing and Washington are actively discussing resolutions to a trade war that threatens to upend the global economy.
