What we are witnessing right now is a president who knows history will chalk up his election in 2016 to the help he got from the russians. Trump fears his presidency will have an asterisk next to it in the history books like a major leaguer whose performance is chalked up to drug use. The president is afraid that reports of Russian Election interference might lead the public to question the legitimacy of his election. Its so profound it is causing at this Time White House to turn a blind eye to the russian threat coming in 2020. The New York Times reports before she was fired, Kirstjen Nielsen tried to focus on the white houses secretary, preparing for new and different forms of interference in the 2020 election. However, trumps chief of staff told her not to bring it up in front of the president. According to the New York Times chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney said mr.

They should be paying 2 germany. Germany is paying 1 . They should be pay 2ging 2 , ma more. But i think this, we have something much better. We have tremendous lng, liquefied natural gas, and a lot of the European Countries are wanting it including yourselves. Tremendous amounts are being sold to different places all over the world.

You cant just let me explain it differently. Germany has the power to block it by not buying it. Germany made the decision to buy a tremendous percentage of their e

We might add when markets took a massive hit as a result joking about it and again, this is all all of it at the end of a week in which he cancelled a state visit with another ally because that country denmark would not sell us greenland and he compared himself to the messiah. All of it, other than the messiah and greenland stuff happen in one day, today. Most notably this. The dow industrials lost some 624 points on the day. It came after these tweets from the president quoting now, we dont need china and frankly would be far better off without them. Our Great American companies are here by ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to china. Here by ordered and lashed out at jerome powell.
