I would not call this "gaslighting". I would call it "Trump has no clue."

    Trump asserted that "China was making over a trillion," without it being
    immediately clear what he was referring to.

    "From 500 billion to 1.1 trillion… frankly if we didn't do business we
    would've been better off," he said.

    China says it sent around 15% of its exports, worth $525 billion, to the
    U.S. last year — about 3x what flowed in the opposite direction. (U.S. data
    differs on the total value by nearly $100 billion, but the ratios are about
    the same.)

    "We'd like to see China opened up so we can compete in China and give
    people something that they've never had – access to something that would be
    great for the world, great for the businesses, and great for friendship,"
    Trump said.
