It’s Tuesday.
President Trump has so far tweeted 7 times.

We are doing very well in our negotiations with China. While I am sure they would love to be dealing with a new administration so they could continue their practice of “ripoff USA”($600 B/year),16 months PLUS is a long time to be hemorrhaging jobs and companies on a long-shot….

….And then, think what happens to China when I win. Deal would get MUCH TOUGHER! In the meantime, China’s Supply Chain will crumble and businesses, jobs and money will be gone!

We are doing very well…

Germany, and so many other countries, have negative interest rates, “they get paid for loaning money,” and our Federal Reserve fails to act! Remember, these are also our weak currency competitors!

As the News Blender reported on Monday, U.S./China trade teams are struggling to come to agreement on the next round of trade talks that were scheduled for early September in D.C..
CNBC News is reporting that according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), U.S. manufacturing contracted in August, the first decline since 2016.
Timothy Fiore, Chair of ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee said in a statement that respondents to the survey expressed a slight concern about the U.S./China trade tensions.
Respondents expressed slightly more concern about U.S.-China trade turbulence, but trade remains the most significant issue, indicated by the strong contraction in new export orders. Respondents continued to note supply chain adjustments as a result of moving manufacturing from China. Overall, sentiment this month declined and reached its lowest level in 2019
ISM Statement.
CNBC News noted that the DOW dropped 300 points citing both trade war concerns along with weaker manufacturing.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 333 points lower, or 1.3%. The S&P 500 lost 0.7% along with the Nasdaq Composite.

The Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet September 17th and 18th. As the News Blender reported in July, the Federal Reserve lowered the benchmark rate, Chairman Jerome Powell said in a press conference the lowering of the rate was a “mid-cycle adjustment.”
Based on the IG Report, the whole Witch Hunt against me and my administration was a giant and illegal SCAM. The House of Representatives should now get back to work on drug prices, healthcare, infrastructure and all else. The Mueller Report showed No Collusion, No Obstruction!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2019
The Mueller Report showed there was no conspiracy, it also showed that there were at least ten instances of obstruct like behavior by President Trump, noting that they did not reach a decision whether or not the President would be charged with obstruction of justice.
The IG (Inspector General) Report did not show that the “whole Witch Hunt,” against President Trump and his administration “was a giant illegal SCAM.”
The IG report focused on former FBI Director James Comey’s handling of seven memos he composed after meeting with the President one-on-one.
The IG found that while Comey violated FBI policy, Comey did not violate the law regarding his handling of the material.
The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday. Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive). President Obama would fly to Hawaii. Kahn should focus on….

I am back from Labor Day weekend and here to tell you that the Sadiq Khan tweet was about a Fox Business segment.

*Flashback*
Obama golfed a total of 333 times in 8 years. You're already at 213 in just 3 years. I know math is hard for you but that averages about 41.6 times per year for Obama & about 71 times a year for you. https://t.co/kvOyP7D8WL

For What It’s worth.
The President misspelled the Mayor of London’s name, deleting the original tweet only to reissue it.
