If he was the head of state of Kiribati I would enjoy that soap opera so much....

 

Sadly even a fart from him could imply serious changes to my own little insignificant (in the grand order of things) life....

 

Does the US President have some Latino blood? Si pero no -> yes but no is classical Spanish behavior (and a few other countries have the same kind of mentality)

Of course he cancelled the summit, as he should have!

 

 

 

Of course he now cancelled the cancellation, must stop selling the coins. Til further notice, that is.

The following is a recent true story of the exploitation going on in Germany...

 

 

 

It is in reality worse than this, I know of a confirmed story that a drunken person peed against a bus on Sunday. Germany in other words should be considered a ship sinking in chaos , criminality and peed busses.

 

I don´t know what you want to tell us by the story above, even if the German restaurant owner would have raped her, what do we learn from it? That Trump is great or what is your conclusion.

 

The German sinking ship is currently doing better than for many years, hard to find workers of all kind. If the lady in your story would place an advert in the local paper saying : Cook looking for job, immediately available , she would be buzy evaluating all the offers for the next 12 months.

 

Nuff said

Donald Trump falsely accuses newspaper of creating source supplied by White House

 

President Donald Trump on Saturday falsely accused the New York Times of using an unnamed source "who doesn't exist" in a story on negotiations between the United States and North Korea, but the official cited spoke to reporters Thursday in a briefing arranged by the White House.

 

"The Failing @nytimes quotes 'a senior White House official,' who doesn't exist, as saying 'even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on June 12 would be impossible, given the lack of time and the amount of planning needed,'" Trump tweeted Saturday morning. "WRONG AGAIN! Use real people, not phony sources."

 

The senior White House official cited by the Times spoke to dozens of reporters Thursday at the White House and on a conference call to brief them on Trump's decision earlier that day to cancel his June 12 summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, reports The Washington Post.

 

The Washington Post, which participated in the briefing, agreed to the rules as laid out by White House press officials at the time, which were to refer to the briefer as a senior White House official. The Post also used information from that briefing in subsequent stories and continues to abide by the agreed upon ground rules.

 

When an Associated Press reporter asked Thursday why the briefing was not on the record, the official noted that Trump had already spoken on the topic through his letter to Kim, as well as at a bill-signing event earlier that day. The White House wanted to "let the president's remarks stand," the official said.

 

The White House press office did not respond to a request for comment Saturday on why Trump was accusing the Times of falsifying the source when it arranged the briefing for reporters and insisted that the official not be named.

 

Administrations routinely brief reporters, on background, on a variety of issues, but it is extraordinary for a president to then accuse reporters of making up the officials who take part in the event.

 

The Thursday briefing was convened hours after Trump's surprise announcement that he was canceling the highly anticipated summit with Kim because of what he called open hostility and nuclear threats coming from Pyongyang.

 

The senior official cast doubt on whether the landmark meeting could end up happening as scheduled on June 12 even if the United States and North Korea reversed course and decided to meet because time was running short.

 

"There's been an enormous amount of preparation that's gone on over the past few months at the White House, at State and with other agencies and so forth, but there's a certain amount of actual dialogue that needs to take place at the working level with your counterparts to ensure that the agenda is clear in the minds of those two leaders when they sit down to actually meet and talk and negotiate and hopefully make a deal," the official said. "June 12 is in 10 minutes."

 

On Friday, one day after canceling the summit, Trump struck a much more positive tone and told reporters it was still possible that his meeting with Kim could happen June 12.

 

In his Saturday tweet, Trump seemed to take issue with how the official's remarks were characterized. The Times wrote that holding the summit on June 12 would be "impossible" given the short time frame, citing the official while not directly quoting. The official did not use the word impossible.

 

"As with so many issues involving this president, the views of his aides often have little effect on what he actually says," the Times' story reads. "On Thursday, for example, a senior White House official told reporters that even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on June 12 would be impossible, given the lack of time and the amount of planning needed."

 

The Times did not respond to a request for comment about whether it stood by its characterization of the official's comments.

 

"Best way to alleviate the President's concern about anonymous sources would be for WH to name the official," David Sanger, one of the two Times reporters who wrote the story referenced by Trump, said on Twitter on Saturday.

Rudy Giuliani admits 'Spygate' is Trump PR tactic against Robert Mueller

 

.....“Of course we have to do it to defend the president,†Trump’s lawyer told CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash, who accused him of being part of a campaign to undermine the Mueller investigation. Trump has repeatedly called the special counsel’s work a “witch huntâ€, despite its producing five guilty pleas, including by three former Trump aides, and evidence of Russian tampering in US elections.

 

“It is for public opinion,†Giuliani said of his public campaign of dissimulation. “Because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach or not impeach. Members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, are going to be informed a lot by their constituents. And so our jury – and it should be – is the American people.....
