Stupid Trump tricks

Donald Trump has retweeted a mocked up image of a range of figures the president considers enemies behind bars, including his deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein. The tweet, which was posted by an account called The Trump Train, also includes Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Robert Mueller, with the caption: "Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?"

President Donald Trump claimed in an interview with The Washington Post that his “very high levels of intelligence” have led him to not believe in climate change.

President Donald Trump says he thinks the Federal Reserve’s policies are a greater threat to U.S. economic growth than a burgeoning trade war with China. Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday: “I think the Fed is a much bigger problem than China.”

In an interview with the Washington Post , President Donald Trump insisted he has never done business with Saudi Arabians—nor has he ever intended to, he said. But that’s not true. Beyond the myriad individual business deals Trump has done with Saudi Arabians—including the government of the Kingdom, members of the royal family, and wealthy Saudi businessmen—Trump actively pursued the opening of a Trump-branded hotel in Saudi Arabia as recently as 2015, while in the middle of running his presidential campaign. Trump has set up numerous other corporations for hotel management or licensing deals around the world, including for a number of projects that never got off the ground. The companies related to the prospective Jeddah project were created in August 2015; two of them opened the very same day that Trump made a campaign stop in Mobile, Alabama, and told the crowd, “Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”
