Others last month. Not how the u. S. The target list has been drawn up. Up to the president to decide whether or not to strike back. President trump spoke to sean hannity last night around the same time the drone was shot down. I worry about iran i cant believe proxy wars and terror. Tell me your concerns. Dont worry about a thing. Everything is under control. Dont worry about a thing. Iran is a much different country. I will tell you much different today than when i took over.

Administration is looking to cut payroll taxes as a way to boost Consumer Spending even as we all know Economic Indicators increasingly point to a potential downturn somewhere along the line. The Washington Post and New York Times as you mentioned reported late yesterday that Administration Officials are in the early stages of talks about whether a payroll tax cut could be a useful tool to help stop a potential economic slowdown.

That decision came after sondland was directed at the very last minute, flew in from brussels, to sit for a joint deposition. He agreed to do it. It was called off. Apparent tweets, the president s directive came straight from the white house. There are more questions about the relationship and possible orchestration between trump and sondland. This becomes very interesting. Nbc news has learned the three u. S. Diplomats, including Gordon Sondland, whose Text Messages partially corroborated the whistleblowers complaint moved their conversation to speak on the private encrypted app, whats app. We learned that sondland had a call with the president september 9th.
