I see the lie about the rainforest being on fire is still out there. Even the NYT had to admit it was farms in the area that were burning land for preparation in planting, and that fires are common in the area this time of year.

Lots of bad actors. Who is one to believe?
Book ends ......
They will never be seated next to each other at a table. They would need three places.
At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness, or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction, Prince Andrew said Saturday. All testimonies matter.https://t.co/rtBEL5IAE4— Livid 🤦🏻♀️ (@Livid2point0) August 25, 2019
I’ve said from the beginning that Rndy Andy may have been used as bait to get other politicians under the influence. “Come to the party! Andy will be there. Meet Andy!” Thus he gave credibility to Maxwell / Epsteins parties There’s a pattern. Someone needs to leak what it is!
Subject: Out of town pool report #1 Boris Johnson bilat/gaggle
Good morning from Biarritz, France where POTUS has a full day of meetings at the G-7.
Pool arrived at the Hotel du Palais around 7:35 a.m. for the first meeting, a working breakfast with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Around 8:05, a smaller pool was brought into a hallway to observe the two leaders entering.
POTUS and Johnson appeared together at 8:16 atop the grand curving, blue-carpeted staircase and walking down to the main lobby.
They stopped on one of the bottom steps and offered brief remarks.
You know who this is? Trump said, gesturing toward Johnson. Hes going to be a fantastic prime minster.
Johnson said he expected a US/UK trade deal once we work a couple things out.
Were working on a very big trade deal and I think its going to work out, Trump said.
Steve Mnuchin, Mick Mulvaney, Robert Lighthizer, Jared Kushner, John Bolton all cane down the stairs just before the principals.
Full pool followed them all into a small white walled room with blue carpet and G-7 signage and flags positioned at one end. The two delegations were seated across from one another at a rectangular table.
Then there was roughly a 10-minute gaggle following brief remarks.
Asked about what advice he might have for Johnson on Brexit, Trump said: He needs no advice. Hes the right man for the job. Ive been saying that for a long time. It didnt make your predecessor happy... but hes the right man for the job.
Hes on message there, Johnson quipped.
Trump touted a very big trade deal, bigger than weve ever had is in the offing quickly.
Johnson said I know there will be some tough talks ahead but was optimistic. There are clearly huge opportunities for the UK to penetrate the American market.
Trump was asked about inviting Russia to next years G-7. He responded: That I dont know. Its certainly possible.
He was also asked if other allies have questioned his recent escalation of the trade war with China.
No...what theyve done is outrageous, he said about China. Nobodys told me that. Nobody would tell me that.
Then he was asked if hes had second thoughts about escalating with additional tariffs on China and appeared to say yes. Asked a second time in order to make sure hed heard and understood the question, he affirmed that he had and was perhaps rethinking his latest actions.
I have second thoughts about everything, he said.
Trump also said hes not worried about the dip in the stock market.
The markets doing great, he said. The country is doing great. People were telling me yesterday, people are trying to copy the formula.
Addressing the media, he added: You people want a recession because you think maybe thats the way to get Trump out.
Johnson interjected to congratulate the president on the economy, but then also noted that the UK over 300 years has benefitted massively from free trade.
Trump asked him how hes been doing the last three years.
Johnson was also asked if Britains NHS is off the table in any trade deal and said both he and Trump agreed that it is. Theres complete unanimity on that, he said.
Trump also said the US is very close to a major deal with Japan. He said the two sides have been working on it for five months.
Pool was ushered out around 8:30 and is on the move to the waterfront casino, where other bilats and official G-7 meetings will take place.
Please check all rush quotes against transcript. More TK.

Subject: Out of town pool report #2 Soon: POTUS arrival at G-7
A smaller pool has moved into place for POTUSs arrival at the Centre de Congress Bellevue, situated atop a cliff at the southern end of the main beach. This is where meetings and bilats will be taking place.
The motorcade is due to arrive momentarily. POTUS will pull into a secure and potentially curtained off carport.
Moments ago, French President Emmanuel Macron walked through the gate and into the building with a large entourage.
We will be following POTUS shortly into the G-7 Working Session on the Global Economy, Foreign Policy, and Security Affairs.
And a big thanks to co-pooler Gabby Orr for sending out some of the longer quotes from the Trump/Johnson bilat earlier.
Subject: Out of town pool report #3 POTUS arrival at G7
POTUS motorcade rolled into the Centre de Congrés Bellevue at 9:38.
He got out of his SUV and waved at the pool cameras before entering.
He was one of the final leaders to arrive.
European Council President Donald Tusk and German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrived around 9:30, both by foot, walking in through the gates and inside. Moments later; Japanese PM Shinzo Abe arrived in a Toyota SUV.
Boris Johnson arrived at 9:35 in a black Land Rover SUV.
Italys Giuseppe Conte walked in at 9:37.
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived first at 9:24, as noted in the last pool report.
The gated courtyard and driveway is surrounded by apartment buildings. A few people were seen in windows and on balconies to glimpse the arrivals below.
Going into first plenary session now.
Subject: Out of town pool report #3a note on bilat group
Stephanie Grisham confirms that the US Ambassador to France, Jamie McCourt, was seated beside POTUS in the Johnson breakfast bilat earlier. Apologies for missing her in the first pool note. Dan Scavino was also seated at the end of the table.
Subject: Out of town pool report #4 G7 plenary session spray
The smaller pool (print + still photo) was brought into the plenary meeting room at 9:47.
Very difficult to hear and not much was said as photographers scrambled around clicking away.
Boris Johnson was speaking when pool entered but it was unintelligible. The leaders mostly sat quietly and posed for photos. At one point, Trump and Macron, seated beside each other, turned behind them and stared into a couple cameras.
Pool escorted out at 9:49.
Subject: Out of town pool report #6 Abe bilat starting
Pool was brought into the bilat room at 11:31.
POTUS and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were seated beside one another with aides seated in a line across from one another. Flags of the two countries were arranged behind their chairs.
Quotes from Trump:
Our relationship with Prime Minister Abe and Japan is I think the best its ever been.
Were discussing trade. Were doing a lot of trade together.
He says were also discussing North Koreas Those discussions are going well.
And this on the G7, which Trump said has really been outstanding; from the moment weve been here weve been treated beautifully....
Thus far, this has been really a great G7...congratulate France and your president because they have really done a great job.
Theyre still talking. More TK.
Subject: Out of town pool report #8 - NK comments, end of Abe spray
Asked about North Korean missile tests, Trump said he is not happy with the short range.
He asked Abe to give his thoughts and he said its a clear UN violation (dont have full quotes).
Trump responds: I can understand how the prime minister of Japan feels.
Trump says he and Abe are in total alignment even though Abe claims NK is violating the UN and Trump wouldnt go that far, said he never spoke to Kim Jong-Un specifically about short range missiles.
Will effort fuller quotes before the next bilat. Pool escorted out at 11:47.
Subject: Out of town pool report #10a next pooled event is at 3p
The lunch coming up at 1 p.m. is officials only, so no pool access to that.
Pool is holding down at the casino/workspace until 3p, when we will be let in to spray the working group meeting on G7 partnerships with Africa.
