After badgering the Mexican leader at great length, Trump finally gave up, pleading with the Mexican to “please don’t say that publicly” (so I can continue to lie about it to the American people).

It’s exactly like the Trump convo (Trump 1.0) with the Pres. of Mexico, in which the Mexican leader repeatedly said, in effect, “no way in hell is Mexico paying for your stupid wall.”.

🧵Precisely this. The foreign govts agree not to call Trump out on whatever lies he tells Americans, and they quietly pocket the economic win.
I should have been clearer: Both sides (implicitly) agree not to write down any deal. They understand Trump will fill the silence with outlandish claims, delivering him a political win. And our trading partners are obliged to deliver nothing, giving them the economic win.
