### Comment:
And where does “Doing great with China!” fall? I don’t take that seriously or literally. He’s just patting himself on the back. He will do that about ANYTHING.

### REPLY:
He's pumping things. The statement is not meant to be taken literally. It's obvious that he's putting on an act to pump things.  
  
 The message is not necessarily that things are going well. The message is, 'PUMP!' 
  
 If that's not the message you're picking up, then you're not getting the message.
