Trump news on Youtube Jan 17 2019

I'm so tired of politicians.

It's about time we finally have an executive to be chief executive of the country.

Welcome to the inauguration of the 45th president.

I think he is going to help seriously bring the jobs back.

I Donald John Trump do solemnly swear

I think Trump can make it safer for the new generation of kids.

That's why Mr. Trump is gonna fix this.

Congratulations Mr. President.

In January 2017, Trump supporters came in droves to watch their candidate's inauguration.

They had high hopes for what the businessman-turned-politician could accomplish in the White House.

Fellow Americans and people of the world, thank you.

Halfway through his term, How has the commander-in-chief's inaugural vision fared?

We will bring new roads and highways and bridges and railways all across our wonderful nation.

After several 'infrastructure weeks' came and went,

Trump finally published a 1.5 trillion dollar infrastructure plan in February of 2018.

The plan was Dead on Arrival in the GOP controlled Congress,

as Democrats and Republicans sparred over how to pay for the investment.

Two years into Trump's presidency, infrastructure is still being teased

as a potential point of compromise between the White House and Democrats.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

During Trump's first year office, nearly 40,000 people died from guns, the highest level in 50 years.

While homicides don't account for the sudden increase,

2017 also saw the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

A few months later, a shooting at Parkland High School in Florida launched a new youth driven movement,

which mobilized over two million people from around the country to protest

for common sense gun control measures.

However, no major action has been taken at the national level to end gun violence.

We will bring back our jobs, we will bring back our borders.

We will bring back our wealth and we will bring back our dreams.

Manufacturing jobs in America have been steadily rising since 2010.

The rate of increase has remained consistent under Trump's administration.

The coal industry, which Trump pledged to revitalize,

saw more mines close in his first two years than Obama's entire first term.

And Trump's trade war with China put tremendous strain on farmers.

The soybean business experienced especially devastating effects.

The industry suffered a 98% decline in exports.

For too long a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government

while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished but the people did not share in its wealth.

At the end of his first year in office, Trump signed a 1.5 trillion dollar tax bill

that featured tax exemptions for the super wealthy,

and cut the corporate tax rate more than any other tax bill in history.

The CBO estimates the tax cuts will add $1.9 trillion to the national deficit over the next 10 years.

Deficits mean interest and that line item will get larger and larger, while revenue is down thanks to the tax cuts.

In a decade, interest on the debt will eat up 13% of government spending

surpassing Medicaid and defense.

Taxpayers will bear the brunt of that cost as the government decides: raise taxes or cut services.

McConnell has already threatened crucial programs like Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

Although far right extremism gained steam under Obama,

it grew exponentially after Trump became president.

Violence by white supremacists and far-right attackers has surged since Trump took office.

An education system flush with cash,

but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge.

In every budget proposal, the president tried to slash the Education department's funding levels.

Congress instead increased the Education Department's funding by half a billion dollars

to get the Democrats' vote.

In his inaugural address, Trump talked about his vision for rebuilding the country.

We will make America strong again,

we will make America wealthy again,

we will make America safe again.

But when you dig into his first two years in office

Together we will make America great again.

Has he?

Read the Letter Pelosi Sent to Trump on the State of the Union The New York Times

Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to President Trump on Wednesday suggesting that he delay his annual State of the Union address. Ms. Pelosi noted that both the Secret Service and Homeland Security Department have gone without funding in the government shutdown.

The following is the text of Ms. Pelosis letter, as released by her office.

Dear Mr. President:

On January 3rd, it was my privilege as Speaker to invite you to deliver the State of the Union address on January 29th. The Constitution calls for the President to from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union. During the 19th Century and up until the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, these annual State of the Union messages were delivered to Congress in writing. And since the start of modern budgeting in Fiscal Year 1977, a State of the Union address has never been delivered during a government shutdown.

In September 2018, Secretary Nielsen designated State of the Union Addresses as National Special Security Events NSSEs , recognizing the need for the full resources of the Federal Government to be brought to bear to ensure the security of these events. The extraordinary demands presented by NSSEs require weeks of detailed planning with dozens of agencies working together to prepare for the safety of all participants.

The U.S. Secret Service was designated as the lead federal agency responsible for coordinating, planning, exercising, and implementing security for National Special Security Events by Public Law 106 544, December 19, 2000. However, both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now — with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs.

Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re opened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Speaker of the House

Donald Trump signs bill guaranteeing 800,000 federal workers WILL get back pay after shutdown - Duration: 4:30.

President Donald Trump has signed a bill guaranteeing 800,000 federal workers back pay for wages lost during the partial government shutdown

The White House announced Trump signed the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 on Wednesday behind closed doors

The legislation signing was shut off to the media and the President made no formal statement

The White House said the bill 'requires the compensation of government employees for wages lost, work performed, or leave used during a lapse in appropriations that begins on or after December 22, 2018, and entitles excepted employees to use leave during a lapse in appropriations,' according to CNN

The bill guarantees employees will be paid when the federal government fully reopens

The House and Senate had previously voted overwhelmingly in favor of the act.The partial government shutdown is in its fourth week with no end in sight, with Trump still demanding $5

7billion to build a wall along the Mexican border that he says is needed on humanitarian and security grounds

Trump's State of the Union speech could become a casualty of the partial shutdown after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked President Donald Trump to postpone his January 29 address

Ms Pelosi is citing concerns about whether the hobbled government can provide adequate security, but Republicans are casting her move as a ploy to deny Mr Trump the stage

Ms Pelosi said that with both the Secret Service and the Homeland Security Department entangled in the shutdown, the president should speak to Congress another time or he should deliver the address in writing

Mr Trump did not immediately respond to the request and the White House had yet to offer any official response hours later

Earlier, the House passed a Democratic measure to reopen the government through to February 8 and provide 14 billion dollars (£10 billion) in emergency spending for recent hurricanes, wildfires and other natural disasters

The bill was approved 237-187 on Wednesday, mostly along party lines, but appears dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate

The White House said Mr Trump will veto the bill, calling it unacceptable without a broader agreement to address what Mr Trump calls a crisis at the US-Mexico border

Some Republicans accused Democrats of politicising disaster aid, noting that the bill put many Republican politicians who support Mr Trump's proposed border wall in the position of voting against disaster aid for their own districts

House Appropriations Chairwoman Nita Lowey said the bill would help families and communities recover from disasters while reopening the government

Democrats tell Trump to stay away from Congress for State of the Union - Duration: 14:58.

Democrats tell Trump to stay away from Congress for State of the Union address over 'security' worries

The State of the Union address isn't canceled – yet. But Republicans and Democrats exchanged rhetorical fire on Wednesday over whether or not the Secret Service can handle the January 29 event given that officers and agents are working without pay.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cited security in her request that President Donald Trump postpone the event during the partiail government shutdown. Homelans Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen insisted her agency is up to the task.

House Democratic leader Steny Hoyer fired back that with the Secret Service lacking shutdown-furloughed support staff, Congress shouldn't take any chances.

Hoyer had already mangled his party's messaging by appearing to say on CNN that the annual spectacle had already been called off.

He said that as long as the federal government is in the midst of a partial shutdown, Trump won't be welcome to deliver the speech to a Joint Session of Congress as scheduled.

Hoyer declared 'the State of the Union is off,' but meant that only if the shutdown isn't over.

com after the CNN interview that Speaker Nancy Pelosi's refusal 'to plan business as usual' applied 'when the government of the country is partially shut down.

Pelosi wrote to Trump on Wednesday, asking him to delay his speech but not formally disinviting him. A Hoyer spokesperson said in an email that 'Mr Hoyer had not read Speaker Pelosi's letter and mischaracterized it' on CNN.

Hoyer had appeared to misinterpret Pelosi's meaning in saying on the air that she wouldn't allow Trump to insist on keeping the January 29 date rather than rescheduling.

'Our response will be, Mr President, if you want to open up the government, the Senate has seven bills that it can use.'.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, cited 'security concerns' amid the government shutdown that has lasted longer than any other federal closure in history at 26 days and counting.

She asked him to wait to speak to a Joint Session of Congress until the dispute that limits the functionality of the Department of Homeland Security has been resolved.

Pelosi had invited Trump earlier this month to address the House and Senate, per tradition, on Jan. 29 — a date that the White House accepted.

She wrote in her letter that no president has ever delivered a State of the Union speech in the midst of a shutdown.

'This requires hundreds of people working on the logistics and on the security of it,' she told reporters at the Capitol. 'Most of those people are either furloughed or are victims of the president's shutdown.'.

Pelosi seemed to favor an alternative: 'He can make it from the Oval Office. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the Secret Service is capable of shouldering the load.

'The Department of Homeland Security and the US Secret Service are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union,' she tweeted.

'We thank the Service for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure our homeland.'. Hoyer went on MSNBC less than an hour later to claim Nielsen is wrong. 'Security is a real issue,' Hoyer insisted.

'As it has just been said, you have the members of the Supreme Court, you have most of the members of the Cabinet, you have the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States.

It is a very high-intensity security happening.'.

'And while Secretary Nielsen may say that the security can be taken care of, you're talking about the people who haven't been paid, who've been working long hours, and who have very little administrative support because they are furloughed.

Politico reported Wednesday afternoon that a planning meeting that was to involve Capitol Hill aides, White House staff, Secret Service and Capitol Police was canceled.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters that he doesn't believe Pelosi's claim that security concerns prompted her to write her letter to the president. 'It's not a security issue, it's politics and she knows it,' McCarthy said.

A senior White House official told DailyMail.com: 'McCarthy is right. The official asked: 'Will you note that Pelosi lied about DHS capabilities ?'. The White House did not formally respond to a request for comment on Pelosi's request.

But White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders crowed about a meeting of congressional moderates – an ad hoc 'problem solvers caucus' comprised of members who Trump hopes can be difference-makers.

'The President and his team had a constructive meeting with bipartisan members of the problem solvers caucus. They listened to one another and now both have a good understanding of what the other wants.

We look forward to more conversations like this,' Sanders said in a statement.

A group of senators was meanwhile preparing to send Trump a letter of their own, encouraging him to surrender on the shutdown, for now, and reopen the government for three weeks in a show of good faith.

Trump has already rejected the proposal from Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who he has spoken with in person or on the phone nearly every day over the past week.

They so far include Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Chris Coons of Delaware and Rob Portman of Ohio. Coons is the lone Democrat whose name has come to light.

Their apparent goal is to reopen the fedreal government for a short period of time while the Senate starts the process of considering President Trump's request for border security funding, including for wall construction.

Trump has said that he will not end the shutdown until Congress appropriates $5. 7 billion to his border barrier, which he says could be built from steel slats or a combination of steel and concrete.

A partial shutdown has been effect over Democrats' refusal to provide the funds since the early hours of Dec. Some 780,000 federal workers are not receiving paychecks right now.

Those who have been deemed 'essential' are working without pay, while others are on furlough.

Constitution requires the president to 'give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.'.

For more than 100 years, presidents mostly delivered annual written reports to lawmakers. Woodrow Wilson delivered his speech in person in 1913, setting an example other presidents have followed.

Presidents can speak to the American people now through any number of visual tools, and Trump has made frequent use of rallies, social media and short videos to get his point across.

He delivered an Oval Office speech just last week to hammer home his points on immigration, for instance, that every major network halted its regular programming to carry live.

Democrats demanded equal time from cable and broadcast networks to provide a rebuttal — something the party that does not hold the presidency does after the State of the Union each year, as well, putting forward one member of their party to give a prepared response to the president's remarks.

Trump's command of the bully pulpit this year could turn into a televised lecture on immigration that some Democrats could be inclined to boycott.

More than a dozen Democrats declined to attend Trump's speech in 2018, including Rep. John Lewis, a famed civil rights leader. He said he was protesting Trump's reported comments about 's***hole' African nations.

Typically delivered in January or February every year of a president's term, except his first, when it is known as a joint address to Congress and not a State of the Union, the speech provides the sitting executive with the opportunity to lay out his agenda to a captive audience of lawmakers and judges and their guests.

Supreme Court justices in full dress join legislators from both chambers of Congress in the House of Representatives for the president's prime time remarks.

The House Speaker and the President of the Senate, who also holds the vice presidency of the United States, look on from seats immediately behind the president as he delivers the address.

The first family watches the address from the gallery of the House, alongside guests of the White House in what is known as the first lady's box. House speakers have their own box of guests, each containing 24 each.

Presidents often make mention of the first lady's guests by name and use their trials and tribulations as anecdotes to support their policy positions and proposed legislative agendas.

Trump last year in invited the parents of two teens slain by illegal immigrant gangsters in New York and an ICE agent who tracks down and prosecutes criminal immigrants.

'Tonight, I am calling on the Congress to finally close the deadly loopholes that have allowed MS-13, and other criminals, to break into our country,' Trump said in his 2018 address after name-checking the murdered girls and their parents.

'We have proposed new legislation that will fix our immigration laws, and support our ICE and Border Patrol Agents, so that this cannot ever happen again.'.

In 2018, Trump used his speech primarily to lay out the four pillars of the immigration reforms he intended to put before Congress.

He made mention of his U.S.-Mexico wall once in that section as he plead with lawmakers to bolster funding for border security.

'The first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age — that covers almost three times more people than the previous administration,' he contended.

'Under our plan, those who meet education and work requirements, and show good moral character, will be able to become full citizens of the United States.'.

Trump said that the second part of his plan 'fully secures the border' and ends the practice of 'catch and release' into the U.S. of illegal immigrants awaiting court dates.

'That means building a wall on the Southern border, and it means hiring more heroes like CJ to keep our communities safe,' he said of his ICE agent guest.

'Crucially, our plan closes the terrible loopholes exploited by criminals and terrorists to enter our country.'.

His third and fourth pillars dealt with the diversity visa lottery — a program he wants to end — and chain migration for families of immigrants already living in the country — a practice he wants to limit to nuclear relatives.

Sergey Lavrov Responds CBS About Trump's Ties to Russia - Duration: 7:10.

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.

Islamist terrorists say atack in Kenya caused by Trump recognision of Jerusalem as Israel's capital - Duration: 21:41.

The Somalian Islamist group who have claimed responsibility for the attack in Kenya which saw terrorists storm a luxury hotel and kill 21 civilians, say the launched the assault because of Donald Trump

Al-Shabaab, a Somalia-based al-Qaeda affiliate, said the attack was a response to the 'witless remarks' of the U

S.President, and his decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.Tuesday's terror attack saw five gunmen kill 21 people, including British charity executive Luke Potter and 41-year-old U

S.businessman Jason Spindler, after detonating car bombs outside.More than 700 people were evacuated from the complex during the 20-hour siege, however 18 people believed to have been in the building at the time of the attack are still unaccounted for, according to the Kenya Red Cross

In a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, al-Shabaab did not spell out why it had chosen to make Kenya a target, but said it was 'a response to the witless remarks of U

S.president, Donald Trump, and his declaration', and that it was targeting 'Western and Zionist interests worldwide and in support of our Muslim families in Palestine'

Asked about the claim, a White House National Security Council spokesman said in a statement: 'This senseless act is a stark reminder of why the United States remains resolved in our fight to defeat radical Islamist terrorism

' The bloody bodies of five attackers were broadcast across social media as Kenyatta announced the end of the siege, which echoed a 2013 al Shabaab assault that killed 67 people in the Westgate shopping centre in the same district

Yesterday, it emerged that a an off-duty British SAS trooper had taken part in the rescue operation

The off-duty Special Forces warrior, wearing combat gear over casual jeans and a purple shirt, was captured on camera entering the complex in Nairobi and then emerging with terrified survivors

His face largely concealed by a balaclava, the unnamed soldier used a modified colt Canada rifle and carried a Glock 9mm side weapon as well as a knife for hand-to-hand combat

He is understood to have been out shopping in the city when he heard about the attack and kitted up with equipment in the back of his car before heading to the scene to 'organise the entire operation'

Insiders say there is 'no doubt' his actions saved lives and he was hailed for his bravery last night

The British SAS soldier was reportedly in Nairobi to train Kenyan Special Forces when a request for help went out to local forces

'He was there training and mentoring Kenyan forces when the shout went up, so they went in,' an insider told The Sun

'British Special Forces always run towards the sound of gunfire.He fired off rounds during the operation

It's a safe bet he hit his target — the SAS don't miss.There's no doubt his actions saved lives

'He is a long serving member of the Regiment, there is no doubt his actions saved lives

' When contacted by MailOnline, the Ministry of Defence declined to comment on the report

Yesterday, charity executive Luke Potter was named as the British man killed in the attack

Mr Potter worked for the Gatsby Charitable Foundation as their Africa Programmes Director, and had only recently moved to Nairobi from the UK

The father-of-one had worked for the international development charity for more than three years, most recently on projects across East Africa

Mr Potter,  a dual British-South African citizen, described himself on his company website as loving water-sports, camping, hiking and talking about adventures outside the city

'I strongly believe in the need for societies to offer as equal an opportunity as possible to all, and that, while economic competitiveness is essential to build a country, long-term stability is not achievable unless the gains are widely spread,' he said on the website The Gatsby Charitable Foundation said in a statement they were 'deeply shocked and saddened' to confirm the death of Mr Potter

'Luke had devoted the past ten years of his career to helping some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world

He had worked with us for three and a half years, carrying out assignments across East Africa

Describing Mr Potter as 'deeply committed to his work', the statement added that 'Luke was respected by all he worked with, bringing huge drive, determination, a relentless work ethic, and a thirst for new ideas to every project

He brought a calm head and his unique sense of humour to every situation.'We share the grief of his family, partner, daughter and friends

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with them.We are now focused on offering all the support we can to them and to our staff

' Mr Potter had an Master of Business Administration from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and had previously worked for charity TechnoServe in east Africa and for Unilever

U.S.businessman Jason Spindler from Houston, Texas was also among the dead.Spindler, who turned 41 on the very day of the terror attack, had survived the 9/11 terror attack on World Trade Center in 2001

Mr Spindler's father, Joseph, had been enjoying a successful career on Wall Street when he decided that he wanted to develop a model for helping low-income people

Spindler later became the founder and CEO of I-DEV International, a management strategy and investment firm based in Nairobi, and had lived in Kenya for the past five years

Another British citizen was injured in the attack and is receiving care, the Foreign Office confirmed yesterday

London-based company Adam Smith International also said two employees were killed in the attack

Abdalla Dahir and Feisal Ahmed were killed on the terrace of a restaurant in the complex where the company has Nairobi offices, the company said in a statement

Survivors of the attack have shared the horrific tales of what went on inside the hotel complex when the gunmen stormed the building

Reuben Kimani, a barista working at the hotel, said he recognised at least one of the attackers, having served him coffee in the run-up to the assault

'I knew one of them because he had a big scar on one of his hands,' he said.'I saw them

They shot six of my friends, four didn't die but two succumbed.' He said the attackers yelled out 'why are you killing our brothers and sisters in Somalia?' before opening fire

Cyprian Otieno, a 23-year-old student, met a friend for lunch elsewhere in Westlands, and then decided to go to the Dusit where his friend wanted to grab a cocktail

'All of a sudden we heard a weird BOOM followed by gunfire! Security guards at the entrance screamed 'get back, get back' in English and Swahili,' he told AFP via Twitter

He said some fled while others tried to hide, waiting about half an hour until they heard a voice shouting 'kill them, kill them' in Swahili and more gunfire

Terrified a group of about 20 people fled towards the back of the hotel.'Sorry to say at that point it was every man for himself

We were all together in the beginning but after a few minutes the attackers began shooting

I can't even really remember what happened afterwards.' Tracy Wanjiru, 28, a manager at a salon housed in the complex, found herself in the middle of another Shabaab strike, five years after surviving an attack on the Westgate mall while she was six months pregnant

Speaking to the Nation media group she said: 'I was working there (Westgate) when the attackers stormed in, it was not easy just like today

All I can say is that I thank God.' After the first blast was heard at the DusitD2 complex, Wanjiru says she saw 'human body parts in the midst of fire flames flying in the air'

Somali Islamist militant group al-Shabaab, which has links to al-Qaeda, claimed it was behind the attack at the DusitD2 complex, situated in Nairobi's well-to-do Westlands neighbourhood, popular with many foreign expatriates

As well as the Thai-owned luxury hotel DusitD2, the comples is home to offices of several international companies including Colgate Palmolive, Reckitt Benckiser, Pernod Ricard, Dow Chemical and SAP, as well as the Thai-owned luxury hotel DusitD2

Kenya's Citizen TV aired security camera footage that showed at least four heavily armed men in dark-coloured, paramilitary-style gear

Officials later confirmed that five terrorists had been involved in the attack and killed

Kenya's national police chief, Joseph Boinnet, said the coordinated assault began with an explosion that targeted three vehicles outside a bank, and a suicide bombing in the hotel lobby that severely wounded a number of guests

Kenyan hospitals appealed for blood donations even as the number of wounded remained unclear

Video footage from inside the hotel showed Kenyan security officers searching the building and workers emerging from hiding while gunfire could still be heard

Some climbed out a window by ladder.One man got up from the floor where he appeared to be trying to hide under a piece of wooden panelling

Al-Shabaab's 2013 attack at the nearby Westgate Mall in Nairobi that killed 67 people, this one appeared aimed at wealthy Kenyans and foreigners

It came a day after a magistrate ruled that three men must stand trial in connection with the Westgate Mall siege

Al-Shabaab has vowed retribution against Kenya for sending troops to Somalia to fight it since 2011

Tuesday's violence came three years to the day after al-Shabaab extremists attacked a Kenyan military base in Somalia, killing scores of people

The group has killed hundreds of people in Kenya.In the deadliest attack, al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for an assault on Kenya's Garissa University in 2015 that killed 147 people, mostly students

The latest carnage demonstrated al-Shabaab's continued ability to carry out spectacular acts of bloodshed despite a dramatic increase in US air strikes against it under President Donald Trump

How the horror at the DusitD2 Hotel unfolded:  Tuesday, 3pm: Initial reports of an explosion and gunfire from the Riverside Drive complex, including the hotel, shops, restaurants and offices in Nairobi's leafy Westlands neighborhood

Several cars are ablaze in a parking lot as security forces stream in and people run or are carried from the scene

A black plume of smoke rises from the scene.Sporadic gunfire continues.5pm: The Somalia-based extremist group al-Shabaab claims responsibility and says its members are still fighting inside as surivivors rush from the scene, looking distraught and reporting dead bodies

6pm: Kenya's national police chief says special forces are trying to flush out the attackers and look forward to 'bringing the situation to normalcy in the shortest time possible

Donald Trump gets fact checked | 22 Minutes - Duration: 4:24.

President Donald Trump gave a prime time address last week to drum up support for his border

wall, and to justify the federal government's shutdown.

There was so many lies in the presidential address that CNN brought in a Canadian reporter

to fact check them.

Daniel Dale is the Washington reporter for the Toronto Star, he joins us now.

Daniel good evening!

Good evening.

Daniel, you were on CNN and now you're on 22 Minutes, what's it like being on two fake

news shows in one week?

It's wonderful, this is the era of fake news and I just want to take advantage of it, so

thank you for having me.

It's our pleasure.

Now, don't all politicians lie, isn't that a given, what makes President Trump's lies so unique?

Trump is often lying about nothing.

Today for example he was talking about his border wall and he said, "You know people say

walls are old and outdated but the wheel is also old, we still use wheels and wheels

are even older than walls, do you know that the wheel is older than the wall?

The wheel is not older than the wall.

You feel almost ridiculous fact checking some of these things because it makes you seem

silly or pedantic but you gotta do it because he is the President.

Now sir do you know how many lies he has told since coming into office?

By my count, as of Sunday, it is 4122 false claims.

That would be almost everything he said though, right?

That's a lot of things.

It's not everything.

He says a lot of words, as we know.

He's constantly doing rallies, having you know, roundtables, lengthy cabinet meetings,

but a lot of what he says is not true.

And if you talk to presidential historians they'll say that yes, every president has

said things that are not true, but no president has said this quantity of things that are

not true, so that's what makes Trump unique.

Is he lying on purpose or is he just getting things wrong because he is stupid, because

maybe he doesn't understand what he's talking about, and that is not necessarily

wrong if you're just dumb.

Well in many cases he is lying on purpose, but like does he actually know whether the

wheel is older than the wall or the wall is older than the wheel, I don't know, and so

in that case I wouldn't say he's lying, I'd say maybe he's confused and so I call that

a false claim.

Now just the other day President Trump had this to say about a claim that he promised

Mexico would pay for the wall.

When during the campaign I would say Mexico was going to pay for it, obviously I never

said this and I never meant they're gonna write out a cheque.

But a memo on his own website says,

Now would you consider that a lie.

That's a lie, that's not a false claim, and he had another one on the subject of the wall

recently where he said, "I never said it was going to be a concrete wall..."

Oh hang on! I've got a clip, roll that clip.

I said I was going to build a wall, I never said 'I'm gonna build a conrete' I said I

was going to build a wall.

And we also have this clip.

What are the walls going to be made out of?

It's going to be made out of hardened concrete.

That's a straight up total lie.

I was at that rally where he held up the little boy and said 'It's gonna be a concrete wall son'

Why is he doing a ventriloquist act with children?

[Trump voice] Who's the most tremendous president ever.

[Boy voice] You're the most tremendous president ever!

Now you fact check Trump like this every day, I assume Trump's fans on Twitter love you for that.

They do not love me.

My email inbox can be a dark place.

Is that when you knew you were doing a good job, when the President of the United States

blocked you on Twitter?

It was such a badge of honour and it was so ridiculous like the thing that happened right

before he blocked me was my stupidest fact check ever.

He had said something like, 'People have been nice to Little Rocket Man for 25 years and nothing has changed' and so

I just tweeted, '25 years ago Kim Jong Un was 8,' he was 33 years old at the time.

And so you know I thought it was too stupid to even tweet, I was almost embarrassed that

I'd said this, but it got like 80 thousand retweets for some reason and then a day or

two later I woke up, I checked my phone and I was blocked by the president.

Canadian hero.

Daniel thank you for this, I'll let you get back to work.

Daniel Dale, Canadian Trump fact checker, you sir are the perfect example of an immigrant

doing a job that is too hard for Americans.
