Sunday

trump just made up everything he said was accomplished. he just blurts out stuff for domestic consumption. The chinese didn't confirm anything he bloviated about. trump does this all the time. he gets some pomp and circumstance to fluff up his sense of royalty in his mind and then comes away saying how "great" everyone is and that all these "magnificent deals" were made, followed by ... nothing. In the meantime, the foreign leaders, well aware of what he is (they don't get sane-washed reports like the US media spoon feeds us,) just flatters him which triggers trump to make up things that sound good but don't really exist.
