Of course he made it up. He's a pathological liar who will lie about anything, even when he doesn't need to.😡

sardarji.bsky.social•15 days ago

Isn't $14T like several times the combined GDP of all those countries?

roger1520.bsky.social•14 days ago

With psycho Donnie’s
rampaging senility in full view. He will never enjoy a moment peace to enjoy his thievery! The FATES will make him pay dearly for his inhumanities!

decmusicology.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hey, here’s a question: at what point are we not going to be able to trust the government numbers on things like the non-farm unemployment rate, or the consumer price index? Are they going to be able to manipulate BLS numbers that media outlets or independent researchers can’t see?

doabong.bsky.social•14 days ago

That’s why he got rid of all the fact checkers

patfeb55.bsky.social•15 days ago

Does anyone actually listen to Donnie?

sally2727.bsky.social•14 days ago

DJT is very good at lying.

myanulrich.bsky.social•14 days ago

I wonder when he exactly lost his mind! Or was he always a lunatic.
Is there any sign he was normal?

futzwizzle.bsky.social•15 days ago

txlawyer.bsky.social•15 days ago

This is also how he measures his net worth.

semper-veritas1.bsky.social•12 days ago

How to decipher a Trump lie; the wider he holds his hands apart the bigger the lie.

socialgreedia.bsky.social•14 days ago

Donald Trump's blithering bullshit makes even the ghost of Phineas Taylor Barnum blush in shame.

harlanbelle.bsky.social•14 days ago

Felon lies with sociopathic regularity.

amitnyc.bsky.social•15 days ago

So Qatar's GDP is around $300B. Their foreign reserves are $80B and they are going to invest $500 B in the US? Even over 10 years, that investment to GDP ratio ain't mathin!

tiggersdad.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trump and all the people in his Administration believe everyone is as ignorant and gullible as their supporters.

sarahwhite9.bsky.social•14 days ago

Nut!

em4fitzgerald.bsky.social•14 days ago

He would’ve said more than 14 trillion but I don’t think he knows what comes after. Trillion

victorytwin.bsky.social•15 days ago

You have to wonder if sometimes he wants to just hear himself babbling

jondawyoung.bsky.social•15 days ago

How can we get the truth out to people who believe everything he says???

changegamer.bsky.social•15 days ago

He makes everything up!
Nobody’s ever seen anything like it!
Trump hooks a minnow and claims it’s Moby Dick!
Believes everything he hears from the dictators and then multiplies by 10!
Lying liars got to lie even if it makes no sense!
And, if you call out the lies you’re a lefty lunatic!
So stupid!!!

biglytariffman.bsky.social•14 days ago

“I’ve been assured “insert any random country here” is investing 600 kagillion billion dollars in the U.S.!”

Donnie Two Dolls

kittybratz.bsky.social•15 days ago

I don’t know why anyone but his supporters act like anything that passes his lips has a morsel of truth in it.

He lies just to lie. And if the lie doesn’t impress, he embellishes it. And on and on and on

matty-lynn.bsky.social•14 days ago

He continually lies. He should be fact checked on any statements he makes.

cardsoundjeff.bsky.social•15 days ago

All crap everyone knows it we have no Labor base to add anything to our economy

mattsobek.bsky.social•14 days ago

His superpower is lying with conviction, but it only works on idiots, of which there are unfortunately many.

sbrann.bsky.social•15 days ago

We know he lies about his golf game. Thank God he doesn't fish.🐳

jbor9401.bsky.social•14 days ago

Toto, pay no attention to that man behind that curtain!~

satireisdead.bsky.social•14 days ago

I think it was 1.4 trillion..but still bs.

j-lastcoolletter.bsky.social•14 days ago

$14 Trillion is the claimed total planned investment from everywhere since January. $4T is from the recent trip, $1.4 was from ... just Qatar I think? All nonsense of course.

mdicey.bsky.social•14 days ago

never touch any of Tяump's numbers with your bare hands—he pulls them straight out of his ass

paul.ofthenorth.ca•14 days ago

He makes everything up. His name probably isn't Donald.

semprephi.bsky.social•14 days ago

Plus: look at those tiny hands!

krawallier.bsky.social•15 days ago

Perhaps the time is ripe for a macabre guessing game: you name an economic headline and have to guess whether the news comes from Putin's Russia or Trump's USA.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to tell at first glance.

If true, then Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security would be completely safe and not subject to any threats of budget cuts.

Trump suffers from exhaust poisoning.

dubee-gd92.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ya his dirty diaper exhaust fumes!

dropdea.bsky.social•15 days ago

The reality is that so many Americans will still believe his nonsense because the U.S. has become a fundamentally unserious and intellectually lazy country.

nomoreguff.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why not just call him a liar? (I don’t get why everyone is afraid of standing up to this shell of a man.)

madsweeneyhh.bsky.social•14 days ago

Weren’t these deals all secured under the Biden administration in 2023?
He’s literally taking credit for work he didn’t do.

rabbibenknockoff.bsky.social•15 days ago

vmg-ylw.bsky.social•14 days ago

He holds a notorious track record of lying in order to try and stay two steps ahead of his creditors for decades -- now he's doing the same goddamn thing with the American people.

It's all part of demon trump's grift! Just hold on, he's got some more for you too!

vp68.bsky.social•14 days ago

He told carney we don’t want Canadas autos steel aluminum idk who tf we is but I don’t want Saudis investments

fullerick.bsky.social•15 days ago

United States of America its past time to wake up! You can’t put your head in the sand and hope for a savior in the next elections. They are robber barons stealing your money.

Stop worrying about his parade and pay more attention to the destruction of our democracy.

Be fierce, be brave!

jondawyoung.bsky.social•15 days ago

Really like the sign! I do regular corner protesting and will be making one today!

(I have a big one that says: “If his lips are moving…Lie, Lie, Lie!!!”)

scottups.bsky.social•14 days ago

He hasn't done a damn thing for anyone in this country since he's been back in the White House. Except for his rich friends!

fiona-webster22.bsky.social•15 days ago

Another tell (this applies to all the numbers he cites) is that the exact figure varies between one press gaggle & the next.

Sometimes his numbers bounce up & down, but usually if it's something he's bragging about, it goes up, up, & away...

weshlovrcm.bsky.social•14 days ago

I learned in 2016 not to believe a single word that comes out of this pathological liar's mouth.

idummkopp.bsky.social•14 days ago

Remember:
To understand what Donald J. Trump is saying or doing, one has to know that he is living in an Alternate Reality of his own making.
And that is a sure sign that he has finally moved on from his advanced Dementia into the realm of truly mad.

lynnxah.bsky.social•14 days ago

Third tell, his hands are doing the lying dance 😂

eddiethebulldog.bsky.social•15 days ago

Outrageous lies. Only MAGA believe.

jondawyoung.bsky.social•15 days ago

How can we get the truth out to them so we can end this madness???!

dubee-gd92.bsky.social•14 days ago

And the fkn media continuously reiterates his blatant LIES to the sheep!

evryv0t3.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trump LIES ALL THE TIME. That is the ONLY thing he knows how to do...L I E S.

He is nothing but a freak show. A LIAR and a complete LOSER!

mvlf.bsky.social•14 days ago

No sane person believes the lying asshat.

mauralinas.bsky.social•14 days ago

Trump LIES. Only a fool or idiot believes anything he says.

Tariffs are not taxes, and Waltons are going to eat them after all.

Everyone in the United States is going to be so rich. 🤔🤔🤔 sorry what I meant is about a thousand people in the United States are going to be so richer, the rest of you are going to starve.

mwelsh1977.bsky.social•15 days ago

Countries and companies know how to bullshit him to get what they want. He probably doesn’t even care if it’s real, just as long as he has the headline and a smiling CEO/head of state.

Foxconn in Wisconsin yadda yadda…

em4fitzgerald.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s all about headlines and show ,and photo ops ,and bloated figures

jhz150.bsky.social•15 days ago

Best part of this whole tariff fiasco is you and your lovely partner appearing on my tv and feeds. Both of you are a delight!

randomoron.bsky.social•15 days ago

As soon as I saw Qatar's GDP I rolled my eyes, knowing how absurd that claim was.

But MAGATS are all like "GDP, SHMEE DP!"

jonp214.bsky.social•15 days ago

When you were studying for your post-graduate degree did you ever imagine that years later you’d regularly be on television being asked questions like “President Trump boasts that his tarrifs will provide free ponies for all American children. But some economists are skeptical. Thoughts?”

guybaddis.bsky.social•14 days ago

Seems like you could consult a Ph.D. in math as well, just to be on the safe side.

jph1973.bsky.social•15 days ago

are you suggesting that Trump might be lying??????

tracymflourish.bsky.social•15 days ago

Does anyone else notice how bad he looks, even with the makeup?

ericodinn.bsky.social•15 days ago

Also notice that he sits much more this time.

tracymflourish.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes

leobebb.bsky.social•14 days ago

The primary tell that the $14T claim was a lie: Trump said it.

erinnm.bsky.social•14 days ago

He makes everything up in his private oasis we call Earth 2

parkertron.bsky.social•15 days ago

Another tell is that since 2016, no number ever spoken by Trump, about any topic, has ever been truthful or even close to accurate, or indeed has lasted more than 24 hours before he inevitably begins to exaggerate it.
