Donald Trump sat with Time magazine for a large interview to mark the first 100 days of his second term and delivered a series of White White Whoppers.
While the president likes to explode the media, he has a weakness for the magazine. He has long coveted twice by being named the person of the year of Time, and even presented a false coverage featuring in his golf clubs.
In the vast interview, the president said without providing details that he had locked in “200 transactions” because the world economy was shaken by his generalized prices and his fears of trade war.
When the weather asked him why there was no commercial transactions so far, Trump said “No, there are a lot of transactions”.
No trade agreement has been announced to date since the so-called “Liberation Day” of Trump on April 2, despite the president who yields and interrupting some of the prices announced for 90 days in the midst of market troubles.
“You must understand, I am facing with all the companies, very friendly countries. We meet China. We are doing well with everyone. But in the end, I concluded all the offers,” said Trump in the interview.
“I have concluded 200 offers,” he said.
However, he refused to share with whom he concluded the agreements, declaring “the agreement is an agreement that I choose” before walking on the definition of prices.
The president suggested that the transactions would be announced in the next three to four weeks “and are over.
The president also said that the United States lost 2 billions of dollars on trade per year, but the trade deficit with the rest of the world was $ 917 billion last year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Throughout the one hour interview at the White House on April 22, the president also repeated some of his favorite falsehoods.
Regarding inflation, the president repeated his assertion that the price of the grocery store dropped. However, the price of the grocery store increased by 2.4% in March compared to a year ago.
The president had a separate exchange for the eyes during the interview with the mass deportations of his administration and the return effort of Maryland Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The 29 -year -old father was wrongly sent to an Elsavadoran prison due to an “administrative error”.
The president said he believed in the American judicial system despite his numerous attacks against the judges who had ruled against him since he took over the post.
However, with regard to Garcia’s return, the president insisted that he does not challenge the ordinance of the Supreme Court 9-0 to facilitate his return.
“Well, that’s not what my people told me – they didn’t say it was, they said it was – the nine to nothing was something completely different,” said Trump.
Time quoted the order to the president and asked directly if Trump facilitated a release.
“I leave that to my lawyers. I do not give them any investigation. They believe that the order said something very different from what you say, but I leave that to my lawyers,” he replied.
He admitted that he had not asked the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, to return Garcia.
“But if you didn’t ask him, then how do you make his release easier?” Time requested.
“Well, because I did not ask to ask him by my lawyers. No one asked me to ask him this question, except you,” Trump told Time.
Earlier this month, Trump met Bukele in the oval office where the chief of Salvador said that he did not have the power to return Garcia to the United States
During the interview, the president continued to explode his predecessor, President Biden on the border and illegal immigration.
The president ran away from mass deportations in the 2024 elections and frequently mentioned the border and accused illegal immigrants of being criminals during his rallies. He continued to repeat his claims on immigration in time.
“Many criminals, they have emptied their prisons, many countries, almost all countries, but not a complete emptying, but some countries a complete emptying of their penitentiary system,” said Trump by discussing illegal immigration.
It was an assertion he had often made on the campaign track without proof, confusing immigration experts.
