Yes, just enroll in Neil deGrasse Tyson's MasterClass on Objective Truth and perhaps you too can attain the same high regard for objective truth that Mr. Tyson so hilariously displays.
This is why Trump makes statements like "many countries are interested in helping with the Strait of Hormuz".
Translation: He has had conversations with other leaders who never said yes, but listened with interest.
And the DUmp'Rat's complete lack of self awareness makes s/h/it completely oblivious to the commonalities.

I had a relative that was a diagnosed narcissist
She has since passed, but the things I learned about narcissism from her still remain.
You must always be careful talking to a narcissist. They are always trying to manipulate the conversation, and before you know it they'll claim you've agreed to something you would never agree to.
Even your silence cannot save you. They manipulate the conversation in such a way that your silence becomes confirmation to some crazy thing they are trying to get you to do.
When a narcissist says I would like to "buy an expensive item someday". You better make sure that "someday" doesn't mean tomorrow.

Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn’t want their intel used by “that vulgarian in the Oval Office” to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with.
The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by — and never before reported upon comments by — analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community’s handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions was that intelligence analysts downplayed China’s actions because they had disdain for the “vulgarian” Trump and did not want to support the policies and priorities of the Trump administration toward China with which they “personally disagree.”
Just the News reported this week that the U.S. intelligence community has known since early 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data and used that information to conduct opinion analysis related to the presidential election between Trump and then-former Vice President Joe Biden.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard backed President Donald Trump’s authority and judgment on Iran in a post on X following the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, reinforcing the administration’s stance amid internal dissent.
Gabbard wrote on X that Trump, “overwhelmingly elected by the American people,” serves as commander in chief with the responsibility to determine “what is and is not an imminent threat” and to take action to protect the country and U.S. troops.
She said the Office of the Director of National Intelligence exists to support that role by coordinating intelligence and delivering “the best information available” so the president can make informed national security decisions.
Gabbard added that after reviewing the intelligence, Trump determined that “the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat” and acted decisively based on that conclusion, according to her post on X.
