PresiDented Trump is saying: "Look, I had a lengthy, substantive call with President Xi of China last night, and he told me in so many words that we had China over the barrel and he was ready to sit down at the table and give us virtually anything we wanted; that's what he said, 'virtually anything,' and his English was perfect. He also said he wants to help make America great again. . . . It was wonderful, . . . like a dream!"
****************************************************************************************
Above CAPTION based on Trump's fabrication of calls from China during the G7 Conference as covered by Bloomberg:

As a side note. and one revealing blatant mendacity, Steve Mnuchin backed him up on this fabricated call as Vice points out:
"Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin later repeated the claim that there had been contact between the two sides, but would not say which officials from each side had been in touch."
