An Arab comes to town and suddenly the mainstream media's best know faces remember killing journalists is bad. Meanwhile, Israel set a record for killing journalists and none of this was said when Netanyahu was here. https://t.co/oU668uvttB

"President Trump uses a small, seldom-seen study just off the Oval Office as a miniature version of the gift shops at Trump properties, the N.Y. Times' Doug Mills and Ashley Wu write.

Trump shows off the merch to foreign leaders, and has been known to hand out trinkets and tchotchkes to favored visitors, like he does at his clubs.

When Doug Mills took these photos last month, goodies on display included Trump 2028 hats (two styles) ... cuff links ... and tumblers, water bottles, towels and M&M's with Trump's signature and the presidential seal."

It's sobering how many Americans are marks.

The Trump Phone didn’t “fail.” It never existed.

"Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and sometime diplomatic envoy, said recently: "What people call conflicts of interests … I call experience and trusted relationships that we have throughout the world." The Saudis have given his fund billions.

Asked to comment for this article, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said: "The media's continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public's distrust in what they read. Neither the president nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest."

And the allegation has been made that Hunter Biden bought his paintings from an art student, who he paid essentially $300,000 in royalties and passed off the works as his own.

Aren't those paintings now worthless?

Wonder what he has arranged for himself in exchange for this rule-of-law-subverting pardon.

“President Trump has set free a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims”
