Great talk with my friend President Mauricio Macri of Argentina this week. He is doing such a good job for Argentina. I support his vision for transforming his country’s economy and unleashing its potential!

President Donald J. Trump spoke today with President Mauricio Macri to reinforce the strong partnership between the United States and Argentina. President Trump expressed strong support for President Macri’s efforts to transform Argentina’s economy, and the two leaders underscored the need to maintain momentum against the regime in Venezuela.
Since early May the Argentina government has faced mounting problems economically forcing them to seek help from the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The Guardian explains that IMF is considered the lender of last resort to nation states facing economic crisis. The Guardian points out that President Macri has declared the crisis over:
President Mauricio Macri declared the run on the peso to be over and sent an olive branch to the international money markets by vowing to speed up his deficit cutting effort.

“Apparently the DOJ put a Spy in the Trump Campaign. This has never been done before and by any means necessary, they are out to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn’t commit.” David Asman @LouDobbs @GreggJarrett Really bad stuff!

Fake News Media had me calling Immigrants, or Illegal Immigrants, “Animals.” Wrong! They were begrudgingly forced to withdraw their stories. I referred to MS 13 Gang Members as “Animals,” a big difference – and so true. Fake News got it purposely wrong, as usual!

CNN’s Oliver Darcy on Thursday explained the error of the media outlets in taking President Trump’s words out of context.
Why isn’t disgraced FBI official Andrew McCabe being investigated for the $700,000 Crooked Hillary Democrats in Virginia, led by Clinton best friend Terry M (under FBI investigation that they killed) gave to McCabe’s wife in her run for office? Then dropped case on Clinton!

As a reminder Attorney Jeff Session’s has appointed Utah States Attorney John Huber to investigate abuse of power at the DOJ level, along with reviewing the the Uranium One deal.
Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president. It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia Hoax became a “hot” Fake News story. If true – all time biggest political scandal!

According to CNN US officials tell them that the confidential intelligence source was not planted inside the campaign, one stating that the informant is US citizen, but the official offered no further details on the matter.

Just met with UN Secretary-General António Guterres who is working hard to “Make the United Nations Great Again.” When the UN does more to solve conflicts around the world, it means the U.S. has less to do and we save money. @NikkiHaley is doing a fantastic job! pic.twitter.com/pqUv6cyH2z

California finally deserves a great Governor, one who understands borders, crime and lowering taxes. John Cox is the man – he’ll be the best Governor you’ve ever had. I fully endorse John Cox for Governor and look forward to working with him to Make California Great Again!
