45th President of the United States, Donald Trump (Vol. 7)
Discussion
trump went on Hannity last night who let him (and encouraged him) to talk about more conspiracy theories.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/donald-trump-t...
trump called the media “corrupt,” before announcing the White House would “terminate” The New York Times and The Washington Post.
He then ranted about the real collusion was with the Clintons and Ukraine, the real corruption was with the Bidens, and the real disgrace was the way that the Trump team was investigated by Robert Mueller and the deep state. That the Ukraine whistleblower’s sources don’t exist, and/or that source was Schiff
Hannity played his role well in enabling trump, at one point reminding him of the nickname he's given Warren.

Looks like Sonderland really did want to be on team trump. $1m to the inauguration fund, which we know trump tapped into, and now its reported that Sondland also invested $200,000 into a company run by Elliott Broidy, a close Trump ally who was previously deputy finance chairman along with Cohen on the Republican National Committee and also was vice chair of the Trump Victory Committee and Trump's inauguration

Speaking the other day of Kusher's peace plans,
Benjamin Netanyahu just informed the President of Israel that he can’t make a coalition happen with any of his rival parties. As a result, the President is now going to ask Netanyahu’s election rival Benny Gantz to form a coalition. If Gantz does this, it’ll mean that Netanyahu is finally out as Prime Minister.
https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/netanyahu-tells...
We know trump driven by Kushner has been a supporter of Netanyahu and in return Psy-group and Inpiration helped with his election

We know that Flynn and Kushner tried hard just before trumps inauguration to block Obama from voting through UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. Flynn’s indictment included an admission that he had lied to the FBI about his approach to Russia’s U.S. Ambassador Sergei Kislyak to delay the Security Council vote.
What does this mean for Kushners ambitions? We know thanks to trump, Israel now face a larger threat on their doorstep.
With a single stroke, President Donald Trump has effectively brought a newly resurgent and potent triad—Syria, Russia and Iran—to the very doorstep of their declared enemy, Israel, and given aid and comfort to Israel's longtime and persistent foe, Hezbollah, in Lebanon.

trump will probably distance himself from Netanyahu (barely new him, never spoke...) because he's facing corruption charges, something trump doesn't want the association with. Netanyahu is of course claiming witch hunt...

Trump claimed yesterday that being president has cost him between $2 billion and $5 billion that he would have made if he had continued running his business instead of getting into politics, a claim unsupported by evidence.

Real Trump quotes just now on G7, via the press pool:
“I own a property in Florida.”
“I don’t need promotion. I don’t need promotion.”
“It would have been the best G-7 ever.”
“You people with this phony Emoluments Clause.” (!)
“If you’re rich, it doesn’t matter.”

Washington Post write up of the meeting.“I own a property in Florida.”

"Under Trump, Cabinet meetings have become less about the business of his Cabinet than an opportunity for the president to invite in the assembled press to boast of his own accomplishments, lash out at his critics and to hear the praise flow forth from advisers seated around a large oval table."
"Much of the event seemed about self-validation as Trump’s allies describe a presidency under siege — and a president frustrated with an onslaught of criticism. "
He did of course have to throw in "some say" when making blatant lies again...

Despite Trump's vow to end ‘endless wars,’ there are now more troops in the Middle East than when he took office and he has continued the mission for tens of thousands of others far from the wars of 9/11.
No wars have ended, though, and more troops have deployed to the Middle East in recent months than have come home. Mr. Trump is not so much ending wars, as he is moving troops from one conflict to another.
Tens of thousands of American troops remain deployed all over the world, some in war zones such as Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and — even still — Syria. And the United States maintains even more troops overseas in large legacy missions far from the wars following the Sept. 11 attacks, in such allied lands as Germany, South Korea and Japan.
Although deployment numbers fluctuate daily, based on the needs of commanders, shifting missions and the military’s ability to shift large numbers of personnel by transport planes and warships, a rough estimate is that 200,000 troops are deployed overseas today.

In response to Iranian attacks and provocations since May, the Pentagon has deployed about 14,000 additional troops to the Persian Gulf region, including roughly 3,500 to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks. Those forces include airborne early warning aircraft, maritime patrol planes, Patriot air and missile defense batteries, B-52 bombers, a carrier strike group, armed Reaper drones and other engineering and support personnel.

The donald is calling his impeachment inquiry a lynching
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!

Erdogan is claiming there are hundreds of Kurdish fighters remain near to Syria’s northeast border despite a U.S.-brokered truce demanding their withdrawal and Turkey could resume its offensive in the area when the ceasefire expires.

Whilst U.S. forces that crossed into Iraq as part of a pull-out from Syria do not have permission to stay and can only be there in transit, the Iraqi military said on Tuesday.
The Iraqi statement contradicts the Pentagon’s announcement that all of the nearly 1,000 troops withdrawing from northern Syria are expected to move to western Iraq to continue the campaign against Islamic State militants and “to help defend Iraq”.
A senior U.S. defense official later clarified that the situation was still fluid and plans could change.
“All U.S. forces that withdrew from Syria received approval to enter the Kurdistan Region so that they may be transported outside Iraq. There is no permission granted for these forces to stay inside Iraq,” the Iraqi military said in a statement.

So they didn't even ask to enter another country, just mass pulled out?
