Reporting that President Trump lied about phone calls with Chinese in order to boost markets shows dangerous behavior, the kind of manipulation that has sent people to prison. It also shows the Chinese his weakness and insecurity, which they are undoubtedly eager to exploit.
When Pres.Trump says he was just joking about something he's said, after he's called out for it, or that he didn't really mean it or didn't say it exactly as quoted, it reminds me that the orders and musings of mafia dons in the movies echo with the same sort of deniability.
