The nfl. President trump threw himself a party today. Threw himself a party after nobody else would come. In a classic example of taking hisndoing home, the president exlated his fight with the nfl by scrapping a planned nfl visit with the eagles. After he learned a small number of players and coaches would actually attend. Replacing it on what hes calling a celebration of our country on the south lawn today. Disinviting the eagles doesnt mean thered be no protest. Thank you very much everybody. Appreciate it. The president ignoring shouted questions from reporters. Do you have any messages for the athletes sir . Are you saying the Football Players are not patriotic sir, is that what youre saying . Will you have a meeting with them sir . Will you meet with the athletes and talk to them . The white house calls all th are absolutely right. This is a political stunt. But not by the Philadelphia Eagles, by president of the united states.

While his personal lawyer and fixer is heading to prison, President Trump is trying to shift the blame and spin the story claiming he did not direct Michael Cohen to break the law which is, of course, a complete contradiction with assertions made by the u. S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of new york which stated directly in court that the illegal hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and to Karen Mcdougal were done in coordination with and at the direction of President Trump.

Trump or his organization paid them back. The wall street journ
