The
Hill - President Trump lashed
out at Spain early Wednesday during remarks from the NATO summit, urging the
U.S. to cut off all trade with the European country over what he called a lack
of contributions to defense spending. “Spain
is a wasted cause. We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore by
the way,” Trump said, sitting alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at
the group’s summit in Ankara, Turkey.
“Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don’t
participate. They don’t pay,” the president continued. “I don’t want anything
to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits,” he
said.

- President Donald Trump has provided “a stunning example of
political pandering and exploiting religious faith for personal profit,” said a
religious freedom advocate on Tuesday after financial disclosure forms revealed
one of the latest ways in which the president has profited from the presidency:
this time, by licensing his name to the “God Bless the USA” Bible sold by
supporter and country music star Lee Greenwood.
The Bible
bearing the president’s name is being sold for $99.99—as are the “First Lady
Edition” and the “Vice Presidential Edition.”
According to
his latest financial disclosures, the president has earned a total of
$1,514,521 from placing his name on the religious text in a package that also
includes copies of the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the
Bill of Rights, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the handwritten chorus of
Greenwood’s 1984 song “Good Bless the USA.”
