During his speech on Tuesday President Trump said, “What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.”
Pres. Trump says "this is the time" for tariffs: "This country is doing better than it's ever has before, economically…It's all working out. Just remember: what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening." https://t.co/aRY8xSowuo pic.twitter.com/shX65JiNMs

He adds, “just stick with us. Don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news.”

The VFW responded to the boos, which were reported to be directed toward the media not the President
It's a longstanding VFW tradition to give our members the chance to hear directly from the sitting president on the issues that affect veterans, service members and their families. Our members are from all walks, and the VFW is non-partisan. We only want what's best #FORVETERANS.

On the heels of the VERY successful launch of the @WhiteHouse National Council for the American Worker, Congress should reauthorize #PerkinsCTE and ensure the American workforce remains stronger than EVER! #Jobs #Workforce

White House: July 19th, 2018, President Trump signed an EO to establish the National Council for the American Worker. The purpose of the council is to “champion effective, results-driven education and training so that American students and workers can obtain the skills they need to succeed in the jobs of today and of the future.”
Today, it was my great honor to be in Kansas City, Missouri to pay tribute to the men and women who make FREEDOM possible! Thank you @VFWHQ! #VFWConvention pic.twitter.com/E6TYsNmWO8

The European Union is coming to Washington tomorrow to negotiate a deal on Trade. I have an idea for them. Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be called Free Market and Fair Trade! Hope they do it, we are ready – but they won’t!

EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is set to meet with officials in D.C. in the hopes of tamping down President Trump’s escalating trade wars
So sad and unfair that the FCC wouldn’t approve the Sinclair Broadcast merger with Tribune. This would have been a great and much needed Conservative voice for and of the People. Liberal Fake News NBC and Comcast gets approved, much bigger, but not Sinclair. Disgraceful!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2018
Deadline: Ajit Pai, appointed by President Trump as Chairman of the FCC is said to have some “serious concerns,” about the merger. Last week the FCC decided to “ask an administrative judge to review Sinclair’s Broadcast Group’s acquisition of Tribune Media.” Deadline says that’s a move, “tantamount to killing the deal.”
As a reminder the Department of Justice has appealed the AT&T and Time-Warner merger, that a judge last month approved, meaning if the DOJ is successful on appeal the companies will have to break-up.
“The Russia Hoax, The Illicit Scheme To Clear Hillary Clinton & Frame Donald Trump” is a Hot Seller, already Number One! More importantly, it is a great book that everyone is talking about. It covers the Rigged Witch Hunt brilliantly. Congratulations to Gregg Jarrett!

Wednesday
Every time I see a weak politician asking to stop Trade talks or the use of Tariffs to counter unfair Tariffs, I wonder, what can they be thinking? Are we just going to continue and let our farmers and country get ripped off? Lost $817 Billion on Trade last year. No weakness!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2018
On Tuesday it was announced that the White House is getting ready to offer farmers hurt by tariffs, a bailout of $12 billion dollars.
When you have people snipping at your heels during a negotiation, it will only take longer to make a deal, and the deal will never be as good as it could have been with unity. Negotiations are going really well, be cool. The end result will be worth it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2018
Be cool…
China is targeting our farmers, who they know I love & respect, as a way of getting me to continue allowing them to take advantage of the U.S. They are being vicious in what will be their failed attempt. We were being nice – until now! China made $517 Billion on us last year.

What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped – can this be so? Too bad!

The News Blender: The audio recording was played on CNN live, in the tape it appears Michael Cohen, President Trump’s one time lawyer, and President Trump, then candidate Trump, are discussing a payout to Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Congratulations to Brian Kemp on your very big win in Georgia last night. Wow, 69-30, those are big numbers. Now go win against the open border, crime loving opponent that the Democrats have given you. She is weak on Vets, the Military and the 2nd Amendment. Win!

Georgia held a runoff on Tuesday, Kemp is now the nominee for the general election to be held in November.
