    I don't tweet so often about Trump because I'm obsessed. Using his name is just the only way I can get him to keep reading my feed.

    Many people question this president, but it’s no small achievement to write the grossest, most inappropriate, most self-flattering Memorial Day message in the history of the US presidency

    Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding…

    Today we honor and remember our troops and vets, and their families, who make so many sacrifices day in and day out to keep our country safe and free. It is a day to think about them, not a day for narcissistic self-promotion. Some leaders get that👇 others do not👇👇

    Our nation needs a lot more of “the silent salute of stuffed animals” right now. Read this touching thread to understand why.

    Here’s a quick late-night story to warm your hearts. It takes place in the emergency room of children’s hospital, where I spent much of this evening. <quick thread>

    The now- it's- on now- it's- not is in a class all its own. Still, there are lessons to be learned about how to ensure a summit succeeds, and how to ensure it does not and I offer some from our own (very) mixed record

    No mention that you cancelled the summit just a few days ago. Now acting as if that never happened!

    Our United States team has arrived in North Korea to make arrangements for the Summit between Kim Jong Un and myself. I truly believe North Korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial Nation one day. Kim Jong Un agrees…

    A powerful thread on Memorial Day by a former colleague and good friend . Take a minute to read through it this weekend.

    <Thread> is my least favorite day of the year, and it has been for at least 14 years. I want it to be a day where I honor the lives of the brothers & sisters I’ve lost by celebrating with my friends & family, but I’m not there yet. And I’m not sure I ever…

    POTUS claims DOJ did not "contact me to tell me of the phony Russia problem." Wrong. Trump was warned on August 17, 2016 in his first intel briefing that Russia was trying to infiltrate his campaign.

    With Spies, or “Informants” as the Democrats like to call them because it sounds less sinister (but it’s not), all over my campaign, even from a very early date, why didn’t the crooked highest levels of the FBI or “Justice” contact me to tell me of the phony…

    This lede by highlights the 3 big takeaways from the Moon-Kim summit: 1. Kim initiated it 2. We still have 31 flavors of “denuclearization” 3. The references to Libya clearly gave Kim pause about how any security guarantee could be indefinitely credible and enforced

    Our source says Black Cube began its -related spying shortly after 's trip to last yr. Word in the company was that the work was being carried out "for Trump." But “you’ll never find their name on a contract,” our source said.

    4. I've obtained audio of the WH press briefing. You can hear Raj Shah, Deputy Press Secretary, introduce Pottinger (along with the terms - which are standard) and then Pottinger makes the statement that POTUS says was never made. Lots of reporters in briefing room and on phone.

    The reason that this official was not named in our story is that the White House press office insisted that its briefing -- for hundreds of reporters -- was on background. Best way to alleviate the President's concern about anonymous sources would be for WH to name the official.

    Imagine being the WH background briefer who led this briefing, who now has his boss - the president of the US - saying he/she doesn’t exist.

    We interviewed a source familiar with Black Cube's work, who explained how the private intelligence firm spied on former Obama officials and by approaching them through their wives.

    This is where we are in 2018 because of Trump: asking if we can fight dual wars—with North Korea and Iran—at once. I’ve got a better idea: let’s do neither.

    24 hours ago, the president said it was “inappropriate” to have talks at this time and reminded Kim of the superiority of America’s nuclear arsenal.

    We are having very productive talks with North Korea about reinstating the Summit which, if it does happen, will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June 12th., and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date.
