40. "Is it really a ceasefire when neither party has ceased firing?"

I read that somewhere recently.

Trump is so desperate to make himself look like some mythical, magical "deal-maker" that he can simply lie about a deal being in the works and the media will simply report it like: "The Administration says the two nations are close to a deal..." which makes it sound way more factual than it actually is.

Honestly, the media should ALWAYS replace the word "says" with "claims" when talking about something that came out of Trump's mouth or mouthpieces.
