First responders, law enforcement, and FEMA and they are all ready we’re getting tremendous accolades, from politicians and the people, we’re are ready, but this is going to be one of the biggest ones to have ever hit our country.

Thursday
President Trump started Thursday morning with Twitter @ 7:22 a.m. In his first tweet he explained why banker Jamie Dimon shouldn’t run for President. Writing, “he doesn’t have the aptitude or “smarts” & is a poor public speaker.” He added, Dimon is a “nervous mess,” but President Trump thinks, “otherwise he is wonderful.”
The problem with banker Jamie Dimon running for President is that he doesn’t have the aptitude or “smarts” & is a poor public speaker & nervous mess – otherwise he is wonderful. I’ve made a lot of bankers, and others, look much smarter than they are with my great economic policy!

On Wednesday Dimon the CEO of J. P. Morgan said during a J.P.

President Trump then shift’s gears, quoting Greg Jarrett a former Fox News show host @ 8:06 a.m. and 8:10 a.m.
More text messages between former FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page are a disaster and embarrassment to the FBI & DOJ. This should never have happened but we are learning more and more by the hour. “Others were leaking like mad” in order to get the President! ……..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 13, 2018
On Wednesday Fox News released what the outlet called “new text messages,” that were sent between former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former DOJ lawyer Lisa Page, the article explains the new text messages, “reveal others were “leaking like mad” in the run-up to the Trump-Russia collusion probe, according to new communications between the former lovers obtained exclusively by Fox News.”
…..”It is a cesspool of corruption, and the people who did this need to be brought to justice.” @GreggJarrett

The Washington Post explains in an article from Wednesday that according to the Census Bureau, “The median U.S. household earned $61,372 last year, meaning half of the families in the country brought in more income than this and half earned less.”
The article says that the Census Bureau “cautions that median income last year was not statistically different from 1999 or 2007, the last year before the recession. A change in methodology in 2013 makes precise comparisons difficult. All the income figures have been adjusted for inflation and are reported in 2017 dollars.”
As the News Blender reported on Thursday President Trump tweeted out a denial that 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico @ 8:37 a.m. and added in a second tweet @ 8:47 a.m., that the new revised numbers were done by “the democrats,” in order to make President Trump look bad.
3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 13, 2018
…..This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!

*Flashback*
The federal gov. has handled Sandy worse than Katrina. There is no excuse why people don't have electricity or fuel yet.

*End Flashback*
@ 10:15 a.m. President Trump told via tweet, the Wall Street Journal they were “wrong.” That “we are under no pressure to make a deal with China.” He explains that our stock market is doing better than theirs, and that their markets are “collapsing.”
The Wall Street Journal has it wrong, we are under no pressure to make a deal with China, they are under pressure to make a deal with us. Our markets are surging, theirs are collapsing. We will soon be taking in Billions in Tariffs & making products at home. If we meet, we meet?

Early Thursday The Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has extended an invitation to top officials from Beijing to start a “fresh round of trade talks later this month.”
Based on the tweet from President Trump it appears his issue with the article is this paragraph, “It also follows a steady rise in political pressure on President Trump to ease up on trade fights—which have pinched consumers and prompted painful retaliation against U.S. exports—ahead of November elections in which his Republican Party risks losing congressional control.”
The Wall Street Journal notes that the “China’s Commerce Ministry has confirmed they received the invitation.”
President at 11:14 a.m. Thanked the Coast Guard.
Thank you @USCG! https://t.co/PqddsoZg2I

President Trump ends his afternoon tweeting @ 1:56 p.m. by calling out Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow “and the Democrats,” for being against the “Farm Bill.”
Senator Debbie Stabenow and the Democrats are totally against approving the Farm Bill. They are fighting tooth and nail to not allow our Great Farmers to get what they so richly deserve. Work requirements are imperative and the Dems are a NO. Not good!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 13, 2018
The Detroit Free Press explains that the Senate Farm Bill has no “work requirement,” included in the bill package in order to receive SNAP, “In fact, some 20 Republicans joined Democrats in rejecting just such a provision — at least in part understanding that it could doom the bill.”
Senator Stabenow replied via Twitter @ 3:27 p.m.
In case you missed it, the Senate passed a bipartisan #FarmBill that got 86 votes – the most ever. I’m not letting politics distract me from working across the aisle to finalize a good bill that will deliver certainty for farmers and families in Michigan and across the country.
