Farmers will be a a very BIG and FAST beneficiary of our deal with China. They intend to start purchasing agricultural product immediately. We make the finest and cleanest product in the World, and that is what China wants. Farmers, I LOVE YOU!

It's a breathtakingly cynical and wrong statement; will the victims of Trump's trade policies be reminded of this ad nauseam, or will it just vanish down the memory hole with so many other Trump lies?
