Immediately after he met one on one with the president in the oval office. That memo reportedly says that President Trump told director comey to shut down the fbis investigation into the National Security adviser mike flynn. Mike flynn had resigned the day before that meeting because of his undisclosed contacts with russian officials. Now two people who say they have read comeys memo say the memo quotes the president directly from that conversation saying about the Flynn Investigation, quote, i hope you can let this go.

He read every word that his speech writers gave him about thoughts and prayers for the victims of Hurricane Harvey. I think what were seeing is really how unnatural empathy is to President Trump. Collective criticism from some circles is that he met no victims, saw no rain, and demonstrated no empathy. Can i say missouri, or should i say missoura . Okay . The president hasnt demonstrated over a period of a week or two weeks that theres any consistency in his speech making in front of a crowd and his law making.
