So I searched for "NAFTA USMCA difference" and there are a lot of articles that describe the differences.

I agree that Trump sometimes exaggerate stuff, but that does not mean that there is nothing is there.

I think It is very dishonest to claim that all the current administration is doing is just continuing what the previous ones did, but with changed names.

If we want to play the "whos more dishonest" game, we should probably look at what he said about his own trade agreement years later.
The point of the argument you were replying to was that Trump signed the USMCA in his first term, but it's now saying it's a terrible deal for the US and reason enough to start a trade war with Canada over.

A deal he himself signed.

Trump doesn't just exaggerate. Trump outright lies. Minute by minute.

Even if that is true, that only make him look better. He made a mistake and is now correcting it. Not sure why it is a bad thing.
Trump signed USMCA. Now he claims some idiot did USMCA.
Both facts check out.
