Trump news on Youtube Jan 17 2019

There were a lot of questions in the United States over the fact that President Donald Trump did not share the content of his conversations with President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, including with his official representatives.

Is the Kremlin influencing the transparency of these conversations?

It is difficult for me to comment on what is happening in the United States and President Trump accused of being a Russian agent. I would say this is a lowering of the standards of journalism for the American press and a thankless job.

I cannot believe that journalists in the United States sincerely and professionally deal with these problems. There is such a thing as the culture of diplomacy, the culture of negotiations, the culture of communication at the interstate level.

This implies following the decorum, approaches and norms accepted in each of the parties in interstate relations. As far as I know, the US Constitution authorises the President to set and carry out the country's foreign policy.

We know that this right is now being attacked by Congress. They write a lot about this, including your colleagues.

But this does not make these attacks constitutional or legitimate. I will not comment on the actions taken by the US Administration in accordance with the President's and his Administration's powers.

Since you have raised this topic, I would like to make the following point. Maria Butina is charged with having certain subversive motives for her interactions with Americans.

They could charge literally any Russian citizen, a public official or someone like Butina, who wants to receive an education and interact with American and other foreign colleagues.

They get accused of espionage and promotion of certain goals that are illegitimate and contrary to the interests of the United States.

But if you look at the circle of contacts of American diplomats in Moscow, the scope of their Russian acquaintances, you will see that the Russians, who are under illegal American sanctions, are primary targets for the attention of American diplomats.

Yet, no one charges US diplomats for communicating with people they are prohibited to contact and who are barred from entering the United States as outcasts.

There is another example of the absurdity of what is happening. Prosecutor Robert Mueller has been working for almost two years now. He interviewed dozens, if not hundreds of people, but found no leaks that would confirm alleged collusion between US President Donald Trump and the Russian Federation.

No facts and no leaks were presented, which is very strange for the American political system. Leaks usually happen instantly there.

There have been some; several facts have been mentioned regarding Ukraine's involvement in the US election campaign, but not Russia.

Here is one example. Michael Flynn served as President Trump's national security adviser for several days. I read with interest what he was specifically accused of.

Prosecutor Mueller accused him of two things: first, Flynn called Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before President Trump's inauguration and asked him not to reciprocate in response to the sanctions that Barack Obama imposed on Russia in the last days of his presidency, urged us not to take the path of escalation and confrontation.

Was that so bad? Was it against the interests of the American people or the American government that a potential member of the administration urged us not to harm the American diplomatic mission in the Russian Federation, not to take away property or expel diplomats?

This was one accusation against Flynn. The second charge against him was that he also asked Ambassador Kislyak to influence Moscow's position on the resolution discussed in the UN Security Council, which required Israel to stop building new settlements in the occupied territories.

Since the Obama administration decided not to block adoption of this resolution and, unlike in the previous cases, to abstain rather than vote it down, Flynn, according to Mueller, asked the Russian side to veto this anti-Israeli resolution.

I am not talking about the substance of the mater right now, whether it was necessary to adopt that resolution or not. But he essentially called on the Russian side to defend the position that the United States had been promoting in the UN for decades.

Here are two accusations against this person. I do not know what sentence he will get. But the absurdity of the situation is obvious to me.

This is just one example of the bacchanalia going on around the so-called Russian dossier.

Trump's Economic Advisers Double Their Shutdown Cost Projections: Reports - News Today - Duration: 3:22.

President Donald Trump's economic advisers predict the ongoing partial government shutdown will have a substantially worse impact on the U.S. economy this quarter than they originally estimated, The New York Times and CNBC reported Tuesday.

The shutdown, which entered its 25th day on Wednesday, slashes quarterly economic growth by 0.13 percentage points for every week it lasts, Kevin Hassett, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, told the Times.

The CEA originally calculated a 0.1 percentage point loss every two weeks. The agency's latest calculation means the economy has already lost about half a percentage point since the shutdown began on Dec. 22, according to the Times.

Over 800,000 federal employees across several agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Interior Department, have been furloughed or, if deemed essential, continue to work without pay during the shutdown.

Federal workers will likely receive retroactive pay once the government reopens, but many are struggling to pay rent and buy necessities in the interim. Government contractors are unlikely to get back pay for work they've missed.

The shutdown has a domino effect on communities across the country. Financially strapped federal workers are likely to spend less, which has left some businesses reeling.

And there appears to be no end in sight for the shutdown ― the longest such closure in U.S. history. Trump has vowed to veto a spending bill that would reopen federal agencies affected by the shutdown if it does not include more than $5 billion for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Democrats have steadfastly rejected his demand, calling the wall ineffective and immoral.

Hassett on Tuesday continued to blame Democrats for the shutdown, which Trump said in December he would be "proud" to take the blame for. The CEA chair claimed the economy will take a big hit from the shutdown this quarter but likely will rebound in the future.

"In the fullness of time, this should not have a long-run effect on GDP growth," Hassett told Fox Business Network. "It's something that is going to be very painful this quarter."

But some business executives and financial experts believe the shutdown could have long-lasting economic repercussions. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told reporters Tuesday that the budget stalemate could gut the economy.

"Someone estimated that if it goes on for the whole quarter, it can reduce growth to zero," Dimon said. "We just have to deal with that. It's more of a political issue than anything else."

TRUMP LAWYER PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN MUELLER'S COFFIN WITH THESE FOUR WORDS - Duration: 10:11.

TRUMP LAWYER PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN MUELLER'S COFFIN WITH THESE FOUR WORDS

Robert Mueller has a lot of explaining to do.

The special counsel and his co-conspirators at the FBI confessed to a terrible crime against

President Trump.

And one of Trump's lawyers just drove the final nail in Mueller and the FBI's coffin

with just four words.

John Dowd was one of President Trump's original lawyers in the Russia probe.

Dowd operated under the assumption that the FBI and special counsel's office were operating

in good faith and conducting a legitimate investigation.

So Dowd urged President Trump to cooperate with investigators instead of going on the

offense.

But Dowd's faith in the Department of Justice and FBI was misplaced.

Trump realized this and replaced Dowd with Emmet Flood and Rudy Giuliani in an effort

to peel back the onion on Mueller and the FBI's corruption and convince the American

people that he was the victim of a Deep State conspiracy.

For months, the fake news media claimed Trump was spreading misinformation and conspiracy

theories by claiming that the FBI leadership was nothing more than partisan hacks using

the investigations as a pretext to remove him from office and undo the 2016 election

results.

But as usual, Trump was telling the truth and the real liars were the fake news reporters.

The smoking gun came in the form of a New York Times report stating that the FBI opened

a counterintelligence investigation into the President after he exercised his Article II

power to fire a then-FBI Director James Comey.

John Dowd responded to this news by telling Fox News Channel's Brian Kilmeade that the

FBI's conduct was nothing short of a coup.

"This is our worst nightmare that someone with that kind of power would then decide

to go after the president.

I mean it's a coup," Dowd told Kilmeade on his radio program.

In the New York Times article, their reporters claimed the FBI started their investigation

because they were alarmed by Trump's foreign policy decisions as well as the accusations

contained in the fake news Christopher Steele dossier.

Dowd took the FBI to task for criminalizing policy disagreements and utilizing unverified

partisan opposition research – the dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign

and the Democrat National Committee – to remove a duly elected sitting President.

"That's what it is an attempted coup by Comey and his crowd," Dowd continued.

"And the evidence is all over there.

I take The New York Times article as an admission of their bad behavior."

"Little did I know that it appears that they were all in it together," the President's

former lawyer concluded.

"I mean Rosenstein, Comey, Mueller, McCabe, the whole crowd and they were out to get this

president no matter what.

I don't think they sincerely believed anything about Russia."

The fake news media portrayed the Times story as another massive scandal for Trump.

But the reality is the FBI sources who leaked this story to the Times wanted it made public

and framed in the friendliest terms possible – because they knew their unconstitutional

misdeeds would come to light and Americans would demand these criminal conspirators face

the harsh justice they so richly deserve.

We will keep you up to date on any new developments

in

this

ongoing story.

-This magnificent structure right behind you,

it's called the White House.

[ Laughter ]

[ Laughter ]

What's the first line of Dickens' classic novel

would be like with Donald Trump.

-So, what happens is some are paid up front.

You make a deal up front.

And we're willing to do that in all cases.

And when they're unwilling to make a deal,

which also happens, then you go to court.

[ Laughter ]

-You love rock 'n' roll. Name the members of the Beatles.

-Chuck and Nancy and, uh, Stenny and Dick.

-Complete this famous lyric.

♪ It's fun to stay at the... ♪

Republicans Abandon Trump As Government Shutdown Drags On - Duration: 3:57.

Well, the government shutdown still going on, still no end in sight, still no buddy

coming to the negotiation table, whether it's from the Republicans or the Democrats.

Uh, and there's good reason for that.

I don't fault the Democrats for that.

Donald Trump has said he won't budge.

Democrats have said they won't budge.

So we're at an impasse now that we can do right.

Well, eventually this impasse is going to pass and it's probably going to happen sooner

rather than later because there are many, many cracks in the facade of the Republican

Party as Washington Post conservative columnists.

Jennifer Rubin pointed out this week, Trump has basically shown his hand.

He is holding nothing.

She says, you know, basically he's got a pair of Twos, but he keeps doubling down on it

and he can't win this.

There's no way he can win this.

He doesn't know what to do.

He doesn't know what his end game is here.

And more importantly, he is one of the worst negotiators that we have ever seen.

And the real irony there obviously is the fact that when he was elected and during the

campaign, he told his crowds that he was going to negotiate everything you need to negotiate

drug prices.

I'm going to negotiate with Democrats, I'm going to go negotiate with foreign countries

because look at me.

I'm a successful businessman and I negotiate a lot.

It's what I do.

I wrote a book called the art of the deal.

Well, here's the thing, Trump some moron.

He doesn't know how to negotiate.

And he has proven that day after day after day after day, since he was sworn in as president

of the United States, he doesn't know what he's doing.

But here's the thing, it's not just Jennifer Rubin, it's other Republicans who are joining

in with Democrats trying to get bills passed to reopen the federal government.

And then maybe later down the road talk about border wall funding, which promise you ain't

going to happen.

Um, but in the Senate, they keep getting blocked by Mitch Mcconnell even though other Republicans

have said, okay, yeah, we'll sign onto this.

We've got to get the government running again.

People in this country are suffering.

Our national security is suffering from this partial government shutdown, but Mitch Mcconnell

every time just says, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Not going to do it.

Not going to bring it to a vote.

Get the fuck out of here.

I don't care.

That's Mitch Mcconnell.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mitch Mcconnell and Donald Trump owned this shutdown.

There are plenty of Republicans, even some of the worst ones out there who have still

attempted to reopen the government to their credit, but you know who really does deserve

the credit here, the Democratic Party, you know, we.

We talked here at ring of fire throughout the entire Obama administration about the

fact that the Democrats were too willing to compromise.

They caved way too easily to Republicans even when Democrats had the majority's.

They haven't done that here and honestly, I do feel like that deserves a hell of a lot

of credit.

The Democrats are doing what we've been begging them to do for over a decade, which is fight

back.

Stand up to Republicans.

Do not let them push you around and Democrats are holding strong right now and what's happening

as a result of that is they're getting more and more republicans coming to their side.

They understand the damage they're inflicting on the United States and they want the government

reopened, but to people unfortunately are standing in the way and those two people are

Mitch Mcconnell and Donald Trump and that alliance have to right now is pretty powerful.

But as more and more Republicans continue to jump ship as more and more conservative

columnists come out here and say, Trump is an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing.

That alliance of two is going to get weaker and weaker by the hour and it won't be long

before those two idiots are forced to cave and give up their stupid dream of building

a wall along the southern border.
