President Donald Trump publicly lavished praise on French President Emmanuel Macron, even as his aides fumed over France’s handling of the G7 Summit, according to multiple reports. Though Trump boasted of his and Macron’s “ special relationship” during a private lunch at the start of the summit, his aides reportedly believe that the French organized the event in such a way as to antagonize the United States by focusing on…

Trade wars are rarely good and never easy to win, but they’re a lot costlier and harder to win when we’re going against a country like China. The People’s Republic of China is an undemocratic state with a centrally planned economy run by the Communist Party. Most importantly, the Chinese regime doesn’t care much about the welfare of its people. Trump should not go head-to-head against such a regime in…

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro hit back at French leader Emmanuel Macron, after he urged dialogue among G-7 leaders on the rising number of fires in the Amazon rainforest. In a tweet Thursday, Bolsonaro accused Macron of using the “internal issue of Brazil and other Amazonian countries” for personal political gain.

CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said that the recent jobs taken by Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders deserve extra scrutiny. Stelter explained that the criticisms the former press secretaries have received are warranted because of President Trump’s consistent habit of misleading the public, with the help of Spicer and Sanders. “The Trump White House has a record of misleading the public. All administrations spin. This administration lies consistently,…

Denmark is a close American ally deserving of far better from President Trump. The American people, who expect their president will put U.S. interests before his own ego, also deserve better. I say this in light of insults Trump directed at the Danish prime minister on Wednesday after she labeled his efforts to buy Greenland as “absurd.” Trump’s outburst follows his similarly petulant tweet on Tuesday that “based on Prime…

Our president is an absolute savage. And lately his Twitter feed has shown it, with President Trump roasting Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and sharing a hilarious meme about Greenland. The comedic genius of Trump’s tweets should not go unacknowledged. These tweets would be awesome, if they didn’t come from the leader of the free world — a man who could start a nuclear war at the push of a button….

Also colluding are the many farmers, retailers, manufacturers and economists who have been warning for more than a year that the burden of Trump’s tariffs is mainly borne by Americans, not China or other trading partners, and also that uncertainty over trade tensions can paralyze hiring, investment and purchasing decisions, which we need to keep the economy expanding.

One of the more interesting phenomenons in our poll comes from a question which asks potential Democratic primary voters the candidates they are interested in hearing more about besides the candidate they support. Following the June debates, there was a lot of interest in candidates not named Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders. At least 15% of voters said they were interested in hearing more about Cory Booker (17%), Pete Buttigieg…
