    What’s even the point of this? Blatantly lying about stuff like that is just going to destroy any credibility he could have left

      Market manipulation is the point. Every time he makes a statement the market reacts which allows people who are in on it to make money hand over fist.

      Trump blatantly lied all the time as part of his career in real estate. Why would we expect anything different now?
