President Donald Trump has finally found a way to secure funding for a brick and mortar project he craves – enlisting individual supporters to contribute to send 'beautiful' but 'faux' bricks to Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer

The Trump campaign unveiled the novel fundraiser on Friday, as the government remained partially closed for its 28th day amid a standoff over Trump's demand for a $5

7billion border wall.With no talks set between Trump and Speaker Pelosi or Sen.Schumer, his campaign appealed to supporters to send in $20

20 to send a fake brick to their offices.Supporters can elect to send up to seven 'bricks' to either leader

The email says Trump 'came up with a brilliant idea to make sure Chuck and Nancy have no choice but to listen to you, Friend

' It states that for every $20.20 raised by a midnight deadline, 'we will send a BEAUTIFUL BRICK directly to the offices of Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi

' 'Together, we can build a BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL around their offices to protect us from their radical left-wing agenda,' one of several email missives about it said

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted that the campaign brought a 'record first hour of donations and new donors since starting the re-elect! #BuildTheWall

' The president has been less successful forcing Democrats to go along with his plan to use taxpayer funding to build an actual wall

Trump has said it will no longer be concrete, and he now favors 'steel slats.' Hours after the campaign was launched, Trump announced he would be making a 'major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border, and the Shutdown' from the White House Saturday afternoon

Another missive said of Schumer and Pelosi, who were referred to as 'Chuck and Nancy,' saying: 'Because they clearly don't understand the facts about the critical need for a wall and border security, our bricks will teach them the truth about the crime, drugs, and human trafficking that result from open borders

' 'Since Chuck and Nancy keep stonewalling the President, we'll send the wall to them, brick by brick, until they agree to secure the border!' according to the appeal

Location chosen for 2nd N. Korea-U.S. summit: Trump - Duration: 2:06.

The location for the second summit between the leaders of North Korea and the U.S. seems

to have been chosen... according to U.S. President Donald Trump... but he says he'll keep the

information close to his chest for now.

President Trump did say, however, that the two sides have made a lot of progress concerning

North Korea's denuclearization... with senior officials from both sides continuing talks

to hammer out the details of the upcoming summit.

Kan Hyeong-woo reports.

North Korea and the United States have picked a country for their second summit,... which

will take place near the end of February.

But President Trump says the location will be announced later.

It's been widely speculated that the venue will be in Vietnam.

Earlier this month, CNN cited a source familiar with the planning process who said that a

White House scouting team has visited Bangkok, Hawaii... and the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.

Speaking to reporters in Washington on Saturday, local time, Trump said he had an incredible

meeting on Friday with North Korea's top negotiator Kim Yong-chol... and that both Kim Jong-un

and Trump himself are very much looking forward to their next summit.

"We've made a lot of progress that has not been reported by the media but we have made

a lot of progress as far as denuclearization is concerned.

We're talking about a lot of different things but we've made tremendous progress that has

not been reported unfortunately but it will be.

Things are going very well with North Korea."

The focus is now on the follow-up negotitations,... which have kicked off in Sweden.

North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui and U.S. Special Representative for North

Korea Stephen Biegun met on Saturday local time in Stockholm.

They are expected to discuss the logistics of the next summit.

South Korea's nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon has also joined them in the Swedish capital for

three-way talks,... which are likely to focus on setting a summit agenda.

The three sides will continue their discussions until Tuesday.

Trump teases 'major announcement' on the shutdown and border security in Saturday speech - Duration: 9:13.

He says he will be making a big reveal about the government shutdown and border security at 3pm EDT at the White House

'I will be making a major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border, and the Shutdown, tomorrow afternoon at 3 P

M.,live from the @WhiteHouse,' he said in a Friday evening tweet.His spokeswoman said she didn't want to get in front of his remarks as she encountered reporters shortly after

Trump could be declaring a national emergency, though, so he can use military resources to build a physical barrier on the border

He has resisted the action that will be aggressively challenged in court.The president has also said he will summon all of the powers of the executive branch to to build his border wall if Democrats will not give him the funds he's demanding, however

They have been in a stand-off over border security for 28 days and remain at an impasse

Congress is in recess until Tuesday of next week — Monday is a federal holiday — and many lawmakers are not expected to return until the following week unless there are votes

The president took action on Thursday to keep House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at least, in town, so they could continue to negotiate, despite the fact that they have not met since he abruptly ended talks last week

Trump recalled her congressional delegation's military escort to Afghanistan after they had already loaded a bus that was taking them to Joint Base Andrews

She accused him Friday of endangering lawmakers with the public declaration that heightened the security risk for members who planned to make the trip commercially

The trip to Afghanistan, as with most warzone visits, had been a secret.In a Thursday tweet before he informed her the trip had been canceled, he claimed the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was 'groveling,' but the House leader was refusing appeals to end to the government shutdown, because she's beholden to the radical left

He said later in a national security speech that Pelosi will not let lawmakers work with him to come to a border security solution

'The party has been hijacked by the open borders fringe within the party, the radical left, becoming the radical Democrats,' he said

'Hopefully Democrat lawmakers will step forward to do what is right for our country, and what's right for our country is border security at the strongest level

' He added: 'Stop human hijacking, stop drugs, stop gangs, stop criminals.That's what we're gonna do

That was my pledge, and that's what we're going to do.' Until then, the federal government will remain shutdown because congressional Democrats refuse to approve border security, he said

'We're going to have border security.It's going to be tight.It's going to be strong

We're going to let people into our country gladly, but they're going to come in legally,' he contended

The president brought up the situation at the southern border during a speech on his Missile Defense Review at the Pentagon

'I would like to briefly address another matter of critical national security, the humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border,' he said leading into his daily pitch for a border wall

'Without a strong border, America's defenseless, vulnerable and unprotected.' He thanked the military for 'helping us out during the big caravan period' as he made reference to another group of Central American migrants that has reportedly formed

'Thousands and thousands of people.We don't know where they're from, who they are, nothing,' he asserted

'We need strong borders.We need strong barriers and walls.Nothing else is going to work

Everyone knows it.Everybody's saying it now.Just a question of time.' This week the No

2 Democrat in the House, Steny Hoyer, admitted that walls 'obviously' work sometimes and that the barrier is not 'immoral' on its face

Rep.Katie Hill, a California Democrat, has also said a physical barrier like Trump wants could be effective

'While many Democrats in the House and the Senate would like to make a deal, Speaker Pelosi will not let them negotiate,' Trump said of the status of the shutdown

'The part has been hijacked by the open borders fringe.' Trump said earlier in a tweet that had no apparent connection to any news story, but appeared to be about immigration: 'The Left has become totally unhinged

They no longer care what is Right for our Countrty!' The president misspelled the word 'country' in the message

He did not send out a corrected version of the tweet.He went on to bash Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, in a tweet for 'groveling' for another meeting at the White House

Trump walked out of their last one and hasn't spoke to the party leader since.Schumer offered to come back to the table as he spoke to reporters on Tuesday, if Trump will have him

'I'll meet with him anytime he wants.As you know, the last I spoke with him was when he walked out, threw a temper tantrum and walked out, so we haven't heard from him since then

' Schumer's office did not have a comment on the president's tweet.The senator has not commented, either, on the CoDel cancellations

The argument over military-supported trips is part of a broader fight the president is waging right now against Democrats who will not give him the $5

7billion he's demanding for his border wall.He has overseen a partial government shutdown for nearly a month over their refusal to approve the funds

Russian model alleging having proof of support for Trump arrives in court - Duration: 10:41.

Amodel who claims to have evidence of a back-channel between the Kremlin and US President Donald Trump appeared in Court for the first time in Russia

Anastasia Vashukevich, 21, who also works as a sex coach, appeared calm as she was led in Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow in handcuffs by officers dressed in a black puffer jacket and a grey hooded top

She was detained at a Moscow airport on charges of prostitution after being deported from Thailand

A video emerged earlier this week showing how the Belarusian model was bundled into a wheelchair by an all-male team of suspected FSB agents as she arrived in Russia

She resists the officers as they try to bundle her into a wheelchair.'I don't want to go anywhere,' she insists

After failing to get her into the chair, one officer grabbed her legs and another clutched her around the shoulders, before she was carried towards a lift

Of those detaining her she said in a text message: 'They speak very rudely!' She stated: 'They say we must go with them for a couple of days somewhere!' Russian news agencies said that four of the seven people deported from Thailand who arrived in Moscow on Thursday were detained, including Vashukevich and Alexander Kirillov, her mentor in the sex training business

They may face up to six years in prison if convicted on charges of inducement to prostitution

In the early stages of their detention in Thailand, the sex training group sent a note to the US Embassy via an intermediary seeking help and political asylum

Vashukevich indicated she would turn over the recordings she claimed to have if the US could help secure her release but she later withdrew the offer, suggesting that she and Mr Deripaska had reached an agreement

Vashukevich, who has been in a Thai prison since February last year, was given a suspended sentence on Tuesday and ordered to be deported

The model, also known on social media as Nastya Rybka, earlier claimed to have recordings of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska talking about interference in the 2016 US election, but never released them

Vashukevich, also known as Nastya Rybka, has long claimed to have explosive audio recordings of a Russian oligarch allegedly proving a secret back channel link between Vladimir Putin's top henchmen and the Trump election campaign

Vashukevich and 'seduction guru' Alexander Kirillov, 39, had been imprisoned in Thailand last year for running a sex workshop for Russian tourists in Pattaya

They claimed the Kremlin was behind their detention in Thailand to gag their claims about alleged Russian dealings with top Donald Trump associates

Vashukevich claims she has inside information including some 16 hours of audio tapes from when she was mistress to Putin-friendly billionaire Oleg Deripaska who has been portrayed as a go-between

The model has claimed to be 'the only witness and the missing link in the connection between Russia and the US elections'

Videos emerged of her on a luxury yacht owned by metals tycoon Deripaska along with Russian deputy premier Sergei Prikhodko, a close Putin lieutenant, somewhere off the Norwegian coast in 2016

Deripaska's associates include Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign adviser, who had 'offered private briefings' to the Russian mogul

Vashukevich claims to have witnessed a number meetings in 2016 and 2017 between Deripaska and at least three unnamed Americans

After being detained in Thailand she said: 'They are trying to shut us up, and for a very long time

'I am ready to give you those missing details, and confirm them with audio and video regarding connections between our respected MPs and Manafort and Trump and all that hype around the American elections

I know a real lot.' Vashukevich was en route from Bangkok to Minsk, the Belarus capital, when she was detained with others at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow

Her friend Gregory Kogan said Russian and Belarusian diplomats in Thailand had pledged the group would be safe if they left for Russia or flew via Moscow

Interfax news agency reported Vashukevich and her associates face charges of inducement into prostitution

They face up to six years in prison if convicted.Vashukevich last year publicly asked the United States to help free her from a Thai detention centre in exchange for information on alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia

Kirillov's wife Kristina Sheremetyeva told Russian state media RIA-Novosti that he, Vashukevich and two others - Andrei Zhezhko and Maria Zharkova - had been detained

'For how long and for what reason, we don't know,' she said.She said there were no outstanding criminal investigations against them in Russia, yet their passports had been removed

'Now they start charging them with something… it would mean only one thing – violent faking of a crime

No other words for it, it is completely illegal'.Sheremetyeva also claimed that the FBI had grilled Vashukevich and Kirillov - also known as Alex Lesley - while she was in Thailand but she had not given away any information

'FBI agents visited them.To say the least, they posed as such.Alex wrote about that, and Nastya wrote about that

This really took place, when they were being held in an immigration prison in Bangkok,' she said

She said that the FBI agents demanded that Vashukevich and Kirillov share the passwords of their mobile phones and their phone data content

'For this information they promised to release them and to help somehow.But (they) did not give anyone anything, and the case has been dragged out for ten months

' Vashukevich last year told CNN from her Thai detention centre that she feared for her life because of her inside knowledge

'They can kill me here or in Russia,' she said.Airport police refused to comment on the incident

Vashukevich said she made the alleged audio tapes including details of sexual shenanigans during her time on board Deripaska's yacht

These were sent direct to Kirillov.Later the pair were among ten 'sex instructors' raided by police while running a late night course for Russian tourists at a luxury hotel

Attendees were 'given certificates in sexual skills after completing the training course', reported the Bangkok Post

Some 43 male and female tourists taking part in the session were interrogated and released without charge, according to reports

U.S. CIT challneges Trump's anti-dumping measures on imported steel, alumnum - Duration: 0:45.

There's a possiblity that the U.S. tariffs on Korean steel and aluminum announced by

the Trump administration last March, for national security reasons,... will be lowered.

A preliminary decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade released last week...

challenged the 76-percent anti-dumping duties imposed by the commerce department... on oil

country tubular goods from Korea.

Those duties, on top of an import quota, were expected to heavily restrain Korean steel

pipe exports to the U.S.

The court said the commerce department's claim that a so-called "particular market situation"

existed with respect to Korean steel -- that its price was distorted -- was not justified.

Opinion BuzzFeeds Controversial Cohen Story Raises Question Did Trump Want to Be President? Th

His campaign was a marketing venture. Thats why he didnt want to put business on hold.

Opinion Columnist

This article has been updated to reflect news developments.

Donald Trump hungered for applause — the more frequent and louder, the better. He found that campaign rallies were a source of it like none that he had ever savored.

He thrilled to the appearance of his name not just in gold letters on tall buildings but also in newspaper headlines and on television screens. A presidential bid delivered those goods, too.

And he wanted ratings. Always, he wanted ratings. The Apprentice was a bygone badge. It was time for a bigger, brasher showcase. Running for president offered precisely that.

There are several profoundly unsettling takeaways from a breathlessly discussed that Trump continued to push for a Trump Tower in Moscow deep into his 2016 campaign and later instructed his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about that. A spokesman for Robert Mueller, the special counsel, said late Friday that there were inaccuracies in BuzzFeeds account.

But Im struck in particular by how the indisputable parts of the BuzzFeed article underscore what many Trump observers have long believed, an insight that explains so much about his eccentric campaign and unethical governance: He never really expected to be president. More than that, he never really hoped to be.

Thats why he didnt put business matters on hold or disentangle himself from glaring conflicts of interest. Thats why he refused to yoke himself to the sorts of rules that his predecessors had endeavored to follow.

Thats why he indulged in behavior that would come back to haunt him in the White House: He never planned on moving there. He wasnt supposed to come under this kind of glare or have to lie this much though lying comes easily to him . If victory had really been the point, he might not have left himself so exposed.

The BuzzFeed report, published late Thursday, cites two unnamed law enforcement sources, and other news organizations have approached the scoop with varying degrees of caution and have been unable to corroborate it. If the account holds up, its that Trump obstructed justice, recommending perjury in an effort to cloak his interests in Russia as Mueller investigated that very matter.

Regardless of the reports veracity, we already know that Cohen pursued the Moscow project through June 2016 but falsely told lawmakers that hed wrapped up that work the previous January: Last November to lying under oath.

We also know that Trump didnt want his candidacy to foil lucrative deals and dilute his wealth. He publicly defended the fact that the Moscow project didnt end when his campaign began, , There was a good chance that I wouldnt have won, in which case I would have gotten back into the business, and why should I lose lots of opportunities? Sacrifice isnt his strong suit.

He had neither the requisite knowledge nor experience to serve as president. Now we know he wasnt prepared psychologically, either. His campaign wasnt a rehearsal for civic leadership. It was a brand burnishing interregnum, a time limited adventure in egomania.

Donald Trump never thought he was going to be president, the Trump biographer , who wrote TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald, told me. He began this thing as a marketing venture, and I dont think the people around him thought he was going to win, either. They all jointly saw this thing as a big food fest.

Paul Manafort would cycle back into commercial viability and political relevance. Jared Kushner would find a financial savior for 666 Fifth Avenue, his familys towering albatross. Ivanka Trump would add weight to her cottony image. And her father, well, hed be exponentially more famous, and theres never fame enough.

It had nothing to do with public policy, OBrien said. It had everything to do with short term opportunism.

Major books about Trumps campaign and election explore variations of the theme that victory surprised Trump and his enablers and caught them flat footed. begins with a damning account of the Trump teams failure to carry out a coherent transition and fill key jobs in government.

In Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff writes that Trump refused to spend any time considering, however hypothetically, transition matters, saying it was bad luck — but really meaning it was a waste of time.

He wasnt going to win, Wolff continues. Or losing was winning. Trump would be the most famous man in the world — a martyr to crooked Hillary Clinton.

Losing would work out for everybody, he adds.

, the author of The Truth About Trump, told me: His past is not a past someone brings into the presidency, and hes not so stupid that he wouldnt have understood that. And I think he naturally feared the kind of examination that hes undergone since the election.

But because he wasnt going to win, it wouldnt matter that hed paid off women with whom hed had affairs, that hed dispatched Cohen on so many unsavory errands, that hed surrounded himself with such shady characters, that he refused to release his tax returns, that he forged ahead with the Trump International Hotel in Washington, that he vulgarly insulted the very lawmakers a president would need to collaborate with and that he surrendered any claim to moral authority by trafficking in racism and xenophobia. There would be no consequences because there would be no crown.

This was a publicity gambit, DAntonio said. Its almost as if he believed that his candidacy was a joke, so under that circumstance, and shouting about locking her up and issuing these racially charged lies about immigrants was O.K., because he wasnt going to be president anyway. What he was doing was trying out ideas for his persona.

Through that lens, this presidency and its shortcomings make complete sense. Trump couldnt assemble and manage a top notch cabinet because hed never readied himself for that task. He couldnt let go of any of the engines of his wealth because hed never prioritized public service above it. He couldnt say what the country needed him to after the violence in Charlottesville, Va., because he had no interest in the role of statesman and had never intended to play it. Rare is the person who finds a whole new skill set at his stage of the game, and rarer still is the person who finds a whole new set of principles.

I think hes well aware of his lack of intellectual sophistication and patience and maturity and competence, which is why hes always speaking to those faults in public venues, OBrien said. He knows deep down inside that hes not up to the demands of the office.

Two years into his presidency, the rest of us know it, too.

WORLD WAR 3: Trump's defence plan to spark 'ARMS RACE' warn China and Russia - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:24.

WORLD WAR 3: Trump's defence plan to spark 'ARMS RACE' warn China and Russia

CHINESE and Russian officials are warning of an arms race being sparked by Donald Trump's

new provocative missile defence plan.

The US President introduced the 2019 Missile Defence Review on Thursday which aims to instate

a global missile system that could "detect and destroy any missile launched against the

United States anywhere, anytime."

US military competitors Russia and China have hit back accusing the US of provoking further

tensions between the global superpowers.

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said: "The American report is full of outdated 'Cold

War' and 'zero-sum game' concepts.

"The document exaggerates the geopolitical confrontation and rivalry of powers, and speaks

unreasonably of a threat from China."

He warned that the review could lead to an arms race as well as irreversibly damaging

peace and security in the region.

Russia voiced similar concerns towards the US missile defence plan.

The Russian foreign ministry warned: "The strategy actually gives the green light to

the prospect of basing missile strike capabilities in space."

The statement said: "The implementation of these ideas will inevitably lead to the

beginning of an arms race in space, which will have the most negative consequences for

international security and stability."

They later compared the review to former President Ronald Reagan's doomed, Cold War-era "Star

Wars" defence plan.

First Deputy Head of the Defence Committee, Andrei Krasnov said: "They are just trying

to draw us into an arms race.

"We have the most modern weapons and military equipment.

"We should respond to new military initiatives by the US and its NATO allies with intensive

exercises.

"We have everything else, we should not be drawn into the arms race."

Trump's proposals included space-based sensors and advanced interceptors that would block

out any hypersonic missile technology being developed by Russia and China.

But as China and Russia have pointed out, the US has a higher defence budget than both

countries.

The President's latest plan is to make the US military "more powerful than ever before"

with a $750 billion budget.

While Trump and Vice President Mike Pence never mentioned China or Russia as leading

rivals against the US, both countries were heavily featured in the report.

The review read: "Russia and China are developing advanced cruise missiles and hypersonic missile

capabilities that can travel at exceptional speeds with unpredictable flight paths that

challenge existing defensive systems.

"These are challenging realities of the emerging missile threat environment that US missile

defence policy, strategy, and capabilities must address."
