There's a huge reality gap between трамповата and the administration. Our so-called-president keeps lying because his electorate wants to buy it.
Two of the Trump administration’s top agricultural trade officials told Congress on Tuesday they didn’t have details of any agreement with Mexico to buy more U.S. farm goods that President Donald Trump had promised over the weekend.

upd: A plurality of Republicans gave up on facts because to share this belief you have to ignore the reality of falling ag sales, lower commodity prices, and higher storage costs:
...40% of Republicans [in Iowa] believe Mr. Trump’s tariffs have helped agriculture more than hurt it, with 28% saying the tariffs have hurt more and 32% uncertain.

Много чудес. Мы как-то еще не совсем привыкли.

Ну, мы-то с Вами привыкли наблюдать этот феномен в Советском Союзе. Признать факты было дискомфортно, отрицать официальную пропаганду было опасно, а соглашаться с ней означало признать себя, хотя бы в душе, подлецом. Поэтому факты не признавались или перекручивались, зато человек мог считать себя честным и порядочным.

Здесь, конечно, признать реальность не опасно, но определённый уровень дискомфорта с привычным окружением всё-таки будет. "А оно мне надо?.."
