Also, ramon is a likeminded individual exiled and in this country as former mayor of chicago who was chased out, thrown in jail, both of them, i am not venezuelan but i ran the Daily Journal for many years in venezuela which i taught from vanessas that is one of the leading industrialists came to the country and help to build venezuela and put people to work and modernize the country, but these two people are venezuelan exiles and will eventually hopefully go back to make venezuela great again. I think that is the important thing. Both of them are obviously intelligent and a shining example of what venezuela has lost bec
Trumps lawyer even threatened lawsuits to keep it off the shelves. That did not work. This morning the president slammed the book and its author tweeting i authorized zero access to the white house, turned him down many times forager of the phony book. I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that dont exist. Look at this guys past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve. That last part a reference to steve bannon who was interviewed by wolff and offered strong critiques of the president and his family. Also tweeting, the Fake News Media and this phony new book are hitting out at every new front imaginable. They should try winning an election. Sad. And he doubled down on his new nickname for bannon, the mercer dumped the stoppy steve bannon. Smart, Michael Wolff responded to the president s threat of legal action. Also to his criticism of his reporting. Where do i send the box of chocolates. You think hes helping you sell books. Absolutely. And
Nuclear button is on his desk at all times. Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that i too have a nuclear button, but it is much bigger and more powerful one than his and my button works. Well, that may have been an attempt to project an image of control. Events beyond the president s control quickly took over. Fire and fury inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff dropped like a bomb on the west wing. The initial excerpts painted a scathing portrait of the administration and the president.

This man does not read, does not listen. So hes like a hes like a pinball, just shooting off the sides. I will quote steve
But a reminder, the president also wants a wall, a big beautiful border wall. Will he demand that wall as part of any deal to protect dreamers . It sounded at the end of the meeting like he will. I will speak with one lawmaker who was in the sit down with the president. First lets debrief with our team of reporters. Hallie jackson is at the white house. Kasie hunt is on capitol hill and with me jake sherman. What was the white house trying to do there by allowing cameras to watch that entire time . Reporter 55 minutes. It wasnt the full meeting because after the cameras left the lawmakers stayed behind closed doors just a little bit longer before speaking with us. I think it was certainly intended to show that President Trump is working to try to get something done on immigration, on apparently comprehensive Immigration Reform, apparently on daca, the program that protects those undocumented immigrants brought here when they were younger to this country. We sort of discussed the amazin
