Karoline Leavitt Is A Very Bad Liar

we've shifted from "90 deals in 90 days" to "tailor-made trade plans for each and every country on this planet"

"Thank you for your attention to this matter.” (He really did include that as his closing.) And won’t somebody think of the penguins?! 🐧 

But the real question is: How long will these last? 🌮

Leavitt: "The fact that he has announced a framework with China, a trade deal with the UK, a trade deal with Vietnam and many others to come in just six months is truly historic, and it's a testament to this president and his trade team." pic.twitter.com/2WOMRtFHmi

Six months? Is that the new “two weeks”?

None of those are trade agreements ratified by Congress. The only historic part is the cowardice of Congress in letting Trump throw international trade relations into the wood chipper.

Leavitt on tariffs: They will take the letters seriously because they have taken the president seriously. And that's why the president's phone, I can tell you, rings off the hook from world leaders all the time who are begging him to come to a deal. pic.twitter.com/xQNJjtUxnS

Didn’t they just say no one was calling?

The Trump admin's shifting rhetoric on trade deals:

April: The phones are ringing off the hook!!!

Today: These countries never even contacted us!!!

Why, yes! Yes, they did. And I recall some MAGA clown responding to that post, that both things could be true. But can all three things now be true?

Leavitt: So to any person who has deliberately lied about these facts surrounding this catastrophic event, you should be deeply ashamed. pic.twitter.com/UYp9vyrKF3

Can we start with Trump, who reflexively said it was Biden’s fault?

Reporter: Are you investigating whether some of the cuts to the federal government left key vacancies at the national weather service?

Trump: They didn’t.. That water situation that all is and that was really the Biden setup. That was not our setup. But I wouldn't blame Biden… pic.twitter.com/OfwWGDzB4p

Q: Is President Trump reconsidering his plan to phase out FEMA?

LEAVITT: Look, the president wants to ensure American citizens always have what they need during times or need. Whether that assistance comes from states or the federal govt, that's a policy discussion that will… pic.twitter.com/VLkzxg5eCf

This Administration is like a duck. Trying to project calm authority on the surface, while furiously paddling away from responsibility below.  🤥
