In the fifty-three second clip President Trump talks about meeting with foreign leaders, he ends the clip by saying, “Meeting with foreign leaders is a good thing not a bad thing. Nothing bad can happen it’s only going to be positive. Especially if your President knows what he’s doing.”
The United States has ended the ridiculous 230 Million Dollar yearly development payment to Syria. Saudi Arabia and other rich countries in the Middle East will start making payments instead of the U.S. I want to develop the U.S., our military and countries that help us!

The State Department
Department Spokesperson Heather Hauert on Friday announced that “Secretary Pompeo has authorized the Department of State to redirect approximately $230 million in stabilization funds for Syria which have been under review.” The move she said comes after the Department, “elicited approximately $300 million in contributions and pledges from Coalition partners to support critical stabilization and early recovery initiatives in areas liberated from ISIS in northeast Syria, including a generous contribution of $100 million by Saudi Arabia and $50 million pledged by the United Arab Emirates at the D-ISIS meeting Secretary Pompeo led in Brussels on July 12.”
The New York Times
According to the Times, the $230 million is part of the larger $3 billion “in foreign aid money,” that was approved by Congress last year with, “board bipartisan support,” aid in which the “administration has so far refused to spend,” The Syria money is being re-directed, but there is no announcement as to where the money is going to be used now.
I allowed White House Counsel Don McGahn, and all other requested members of the White House Staff, to fully cooperate with the Special Counsel. In addition we readily gave over one million pages of documents. Most transparent in history. No Collusion, No Obstruction. Witch Hunt!

Sunday
The failing @nytimes wrote a Fake piece today implying that because White House Councel Don McGahn was giving hours of testimony to the Special Councel, he must be a John Dean type “RAT.” But I allowed him and all others to testify – I didn’t have to. I have nothing to hide……

….and have demanded transparency so that this Rigged and Disgusting Witch Hunt can come to a close. So many lives have been ruined over nothing – McCarthyism at its WORST! Yet Mueller & his gang of Dems refuse to look at the real crimes on the other side – Media is even worse!

The New York Times
The article details White House counsel Don McGahn’s cooperation with the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office investigators, over the past nine months, in three interviews that total about thirty hours. The article explains that McGhan “according to a dozen current and former White House officials and others briefed on the matter,” McGhan has shared details that investigators “would not have learned otherwise,” in regards to President Trump and whether or not he committed obstuction of justice. The article goes onto say according to their sources McGhan told investigators that he, “never saw Mr. Trump go beyond his legal authorities, though the limits of executive power are murky.”
Toward the end of the article the writers explain that McGhan told people he was “determined to avoid the fate of White House counsel,” John Dean, who served as counsel for former President Nixon. Dean plead guilty to “conspiracy to obstruct justice in the Watergate scandal.”
CNN
Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) led “a Cold War-era inquisition of alleged Communists who he claimed had infiltrated American governmental institutions.” In 1953 McCarthy became the chairman of a subcommittee for the Senate Government Operations where in 1954 he expand his probe into the alleged Communists activity. Three months of “Army-McCarthy hearings shattered the senators image,” he was also censured by the Senate.
No Collusion and No Obstruction, except by Crooked Hillary and the Democrats. All of the resignations and corruption, yet heavily conflicted Bob Mueller refuses to even look in that direction. What about the Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strzok lies to Congress, or Crooked’s Emails!

The Failing New York Times wrote a story that made it seem like the White House Councel had TURNED on the President, when in fact it is just the opposite – & the two Fake reporters knew this. This is why the Fake News Media has become the Enemy of the People. So bad for America!

The News Blender
On Saturday morning President Trump issued three tweets that talked about the dangers of “censorship,” and social media’s “discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. He went on to say that he feels that “everybody,” should “participate, good or bad.” This tweet marks the eighth one since becoming President that President Trump has called the “free press,” the enemy of the people.
Important note: Reminder our Constitution protects us and the press from government silencing “we the people.”
Mueller's team has a great cooperator in the White House: Trump's top lawyer, Don McGahn. Trump and McGahn have a complicated, mutually beneficial but ultimately terrible relationship — so bad McGahn calls Trump "King Kong" behind his back. w/@maggieNYT https://t.co/GGss1IlqLE

He is one of the reporters who wrote the story. So far there is no response to President Trump’s Tweet.
For a year, Trump has had a singular refrain to his lawyers: I want this probe to end fast. He told Cobb and Dowd he did nothing wrong, and so they went ahead and recommended full cooperation. McGahn, fearing a setup against himself, complied fully https://t.co/BIVPJbx7DH

She is the other reporter, she has not responded via tweet to President Trump’s at this time either.
Study the late Joseph McCarthy, because we are now in period with Mueller and his gang that make Joseph McCarthy look like a baby! Rigged Witch Hunt!
