It’s Wednesday.
It’s Day 71 of the Impeachment Inquiry. Currently the House Judiciary Committee is holding their first Impeachment Inquiry hearing following the release of the House Intelligence Committee’s “The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report.”
For Wednesday the President has tweeted 5 times.
Enjoyed my meeting with Prime Minister @BorisJohnson of the United Kingdom at @10DowningStreet last night. Talked about numerous subjects including @NATO and Trade.

Great progress has been made by NATO over the last three years. Countries other than the U.S. have agreed to pay 130 Billion Dollars more per year, and by 2024, that number will be 400 Billion Dollars. NATO will be richer and stronger than ever before….

….Just finished meetings with Turkey and Germany. Heading to a meeting now with those countries that have met their 2% GOALS, followed by meetings with Denmark and Italy….

….When today’s meetings are over, I will be heading back to Washington. We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days. Safe travels to all!

On Tuesday evening following a long day of disjointed pressers with NATO allies in London a video surfaced featuring some world leaders in which they appear (they are) to mock President Trump.

Macron fact checked Trump to his face, saying: “There are a large number of fighters you have on the ground: ISIS fighters coming from Syria, from Iraq, and the region”…those from Europe are “a tiny minority of the overall problem.” https://t.co/2BjmpxL9J4

The President was asked about the video on Wednesday he called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “two-faced,” but added “honestly he’s a nice guy.”

This is not the first time that President Trump has taken issue with Trudeau. Following the G7 meeting in June of 2018 the President tweeted that Trudeau was “meek and mild.”
PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

2014 then-businessman Trump’s opinion about U.S. Presidents mocked aboard.
We need a President who isn’t a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!
