	<<Ms Daniels was arrested for allegedly letting a customer touch her on stage "in a non sexual manner">> Now that is totally inappropriate for a porn-star, right? If this is a set up it won't change a thing for Trump - but of course Trump has his own logic ....

"setup" seems to be the right description!

Three undercover detectives? Seriously?! Almost sounds like Trump personally organized that, it's so stupid!

And that is what US-detectives do on tax-money?

Problem is we are all used to the multiple lies; it all just passes us by!

More meanwhile!

Trump is denying that the N.Korea negotiation has fallen in a hole by quoting a letter recently received from Kim. Problem is while the letter is very flattering to Trump it contains nothing specific about the negotiation or next steps

Trump says North Korea has returned 200 POW remains

The Pentagon has yet confirm even one POW remains has been returned; North Korea even failed to attend a meeting today about returning soldier remains

At least the rest of the Americans are not afraid to speak up.
Yet.

Kim wrote to Trump in Korean?

How loved would I feel if my friend wrote to me in Amharic?

Then again, as Trump can't read, it doesn't really matter, does it.

At least the rest of the Americans are not afraid t .... ah, I said that already ...

Still, I gotta say, I am so grateful that Trump always tells us when something is a good thing.

Some bloke called Colbert made reference to Trump alledgedly being spanked with a copy of Forbes magazine by Stormy Daniels. Hence the new nickname, "Spanky".

Such things work nicely in making opponents feel smug and superior, but do little to address the actual issues. Unless playground taunts really can bring down leaders of countries.

I can read the headline, it's just the rest of the jumbled stab at journalism which makes no sense at all. The figures don't back any of the claims up.

Nobody knows what this "Great success today" was?
There was nothing new in the NATO meeting summary declaration that Trump also signed here which also reaffirmed the plan for countries to reach their 2% spending goal in 2024.
There was a lot of Trump rhetoric at the meeting but nothing changed as a result.
Maybe Trump thinks his followers are so dumb they will simply believe it was a great success for him without requiring details?

The figures clearly show that under Trump the numbers of refugees received has been cut, as claimed:

New data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees showed that the U.S. took in 33,000 refugees last year, down from 97,000 under Obama, who had pushed to raise the ceiling to 110,000.

President Trump vowed to reverse that flow, raising concerns that refugees were not being vetted well by the United Nations. He pushed to cut refugees to 45,000 a year

The facts are all over the place. One example is that it lists various countries which don't take refugees yet Saudi, for all its faults, takes in Syrians, for example. Hey, if you want to get your news from what seems like a half-baked biased "news" site, that's your choice, but don't get all defensive if people point out the obvious holes to you.

Ouch now thats just mean.

It was Stephanie Clifford said it, I don't know if that counts as an 'allegation', she was the spanker, Spanky was the spankee.

Trump did not push for anything?

As President he simply set the cap on refugees at 45,000 which is a decision within the Presidential purview. Not a big deal for him, somebody wrote the order for him and he signed it.
It is not like he had to negotiate with anybody or convince someone.

That's great, yet the figures still show that refugee numbers are down 66% under Trump, as he promised, as is claimed by the article.

If you read the Pew Research you can see the fall in refugees but it's mainly because of the refusal of Muslim refugees. Numbers of Christian refugees didn't really take a hit.

What a time to be alive...

In other words, Mexicans are still welcome?

Who'd have thought closing all border points and immediately reclassifying refugees as criminals would lead to a fall in refugee numbers?

They should've made one of Boris to keep Trump company.. to leave him floating about on his own is just plain rude.
