Trump said he had already made 200 trade deals in an interview with Time on April 22:
>>>Not one [trade deal] has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them?
I’ve made 200 deals.
You’ve made 200 deals?
100%.<<<
President Trump discussed his trade war and the economy, immigration, presidential power, and more

Trump today.
>>>“We don’t have to sign deals.”
“Everyone says ‘When, when, when are you going to sign deals?’” Mr. Trump said, at one point motioning toward Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary. “We don’t have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now, Howard, if we wanted to. We don’t have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want our market. We don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market.” . . . Mr. Trump predicted the first deals could be signed this week. But administration officials also made that prediction the week before that, and the week before that.<<<
It's hard to believe (sarcasm alert), but it turns out Trump has been lying his *ss off about impending trade deals in an effort to prop up the markets.
