Public safety in mind when it implored the president not to come. They write in a letter, President Trump, you are not welcome in pittsburgh until you fully denounce white nationalism. But donald trump did not heed either their requests. In fact, he made abundantly clear in remarks last night hes going to keep hitting the same divisive notes he always hits, no matter what. I was in the headline when they got him, they didnt say bomber found. They talked about trump in the headline. Now, they didnt do that with Bernie Sanders when he they didnt do that with the democrats when other people came out. They didnt do that with president obama with the church, the horrible situation with the church. They didnt do that. They put my name in the headlines. Its when i say enemy of the people, im talking about the fake news, and it is fake. A moment of national tragedy, thats all that matters, Donald Trumps clips.

I saw transpiring in how failed to convince him that President Trump was working to releasing the aid was in the make the evaluation about interest of the u. S. The article whether it was appropriate to provide this assistance. Thats what im asking is also clobbers Mick Mulvaney for would it be appropriate george, im not going to get his role in orchestrating the into hypotheticals and secondary hold on the aid. Brandnew email exchanges like things based on what someone else has said. This one between mulvaney and you would have never done it when you were the spokesman.
