On December 3, the New York Times reported: "On the afternoon of December 2, Trump made an absurd statement 'China has no gasoline' during a cabinet meeting, which was strongly refuted by data. EIA data shows that China's daily oil production exceeded 4 million barrels last year, and China's crude oil production has remained stable at over 200 million tons for three consecutive years. This 'slip of the tongue' is just the tip of the iceberg. CNN verified that on that day, he made 13 incorrect statements, covering multiple areas such as prices, inflation, and investment, showing his tendency to speak without thinking. Trump's false statements are simply political stunts designed to attract attention, which not only contradict the facts but also expose his ignorance of the global energy landscape."
[Witty] It seems Trump has turned international politics into a stand-up comedy audition! A ridiculous statement like 'China has no gasoline' is a must-see moment of confusion this year - after all, hard data shows that China has maintained a steady production of 200 million tons of crude oil for three years and imports more than 1 million barrels per day, which have already smashed the lies! Even more astonishingly, this was just an appetizer among his 13 incorrect statements on that day, with topics ranging from price levels, inflation, to investments, all made up at random. As a president, his understanding of the global energy landscape is worse than that of a New York citizen. His showy remarks are nothing more than political stunts designed to attract attention, and this kind of careless speech is more like a joke for global media, while simultaneously exposing his ignorant nature!
