‘Some Things May Be True Even If Donald Trump Said Them’

It’s not original. The NYT noted this strange phenomenon in 2018. Thomas Friedman wrote:

One of the hardest things to accept for all of us who want Donald Trump to be a one-term president is the fact that some things are true even if Donald Trump believes them! And one of those things is that we have a real trade problem with China. Imports of Chinese goods alone equal two-thirds of the global U.S. trade deficit today.
