Heeft verder niets met Trump te maken, ik zie niet in hoe dit hem aan te rekenen is.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly lashed out against the press and called the news media an "enemy of the people," using the phrase as recently as Thursday on Twitter.

Trump rejects EU's offer to drop car tariffs to zero

President Trump on Thursday refused an offer from the European Union to lower car tariffs to zero.

“It’s not good enough,” Trump said of the offer that came earlier in the day from Brussels during an Oval Office interview with Bloomberg News.

“Their consumer habits are to buy their cars, not to buy our cars," he said.

Earlier, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom told the European Parliament
that Europe would be willing to cut car tariffs to zero if the U.S was willing to do the same.

Trump again compared the EU to China, where he has ramped up a trade war with Beijing by imposing billions of tariffs on each other's goods.

“The European Union is almost as bad as China, just smaller,” Trump told Bloomberg.

Besides imposing another $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports into the United States as early as next week, Trump has asked the Commerce Department to determine whether auto imports endanger national security.

Many in the auto industry likely expect that the Commerce Department will say that those foreign autos do put U.S. security at risk.

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd thinks all signs point to special counsel Robert Mueller making major moves on Friday.

President Donald Trump on Thursday called the inquiry into Russian meddling “an illegal investigation.”

“This is the president feeling like there’s a lot happening around him, the walls may be closing in on him, and I think he’s lashing out,” said Bloomberg’s Sahil Kapur on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily.”

Republican strategist Brad Todd, however, said Mueller has a “responsibility” to know when “he’s gone past the time limit of when he has credibility with the public.”

“What time limit are we at?” wondered Todd.

Todd said everyone who’s worked with Mueller believes he would’ve ended the investigation already if there was no evidence of collusion.

He also said Mueller would “keep quiet” between Labor Day and November’s midterm elections so as not to be accused of interfering politically.

Daniella Gibbs Léger of the Center for American Progress predicted Mueller would drop big news in January as a result.

But Todd said it could be a whole lot sooner.

“I’ll be honest with you: I’m not missing work tomorrow,” he said, referring to Friday, the last business day before Labor Day. “I wouldn’t miss work tomorrow.”

He later added: “Not to be totally cliche, but 5 o’clock tomorrow is a big deadline, isn’t it?

Geen idee of de man gelijk heeft, maar Trump was de afgelopen dagen wel idioot bezig. Iets zal hem getriggerd hebben, en het is vrijdag.....

quote:

With speculation hot among the president's legal team that today could be a day for action by Bob Mueller (last working day before Labor Day), remember all the evidence the special counsel has — or could — that we haven't seen:

• President Trump's tax returns.
• Trump bank records, which are more valuable than tax returns.
• Internal Trump Organization records.
• More recordings from Michael Cohen.
• Cellphone records (metadata showing calls placed/received and duration) related to the Trump Tower meeting.
• White House and campaign emails and text messages. (Trump's legal team said in January that the White House had produced more than 20,000 pages of materials, and the campaign had provided more than 1.4 million pages.)
• Contemporaneous notes of White House staffers from meetings with Trump.
• A full reconstruction by former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who made a plea deal, of his conversations about Russia and subsequent lies.
• Scores of hours of testimony of Trump insiders (including at least 20 White House personnel) about his private dealings, much of which is unknown to POTUS and the public.
• National Enquirer files revealed by today's N.Y. Times: Trump and Cohen "devised a plan to buy up all the dirt on Mr. Trump that the National Enquirer and its parent company had collected on him, dating back to the 1980s."
• As MSNBC analyst Matt Miller summarized: "Basically, everything!"

Why it matters, from Bob Bauer, former White House counsel to President Obama, and now an NYU Law professor:

"Investigators have the skills and resources to turn up evidence, including witness testimony, that goes beyond what anyone on the outside can imagine in the daily speculation about the Mueller probe."
