The Grove Hertfordshire, United Kingdom 3:38 P.M. GMT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. We just met with the Prime Minister of Denmark. Had a great meeting and discussed a lot of things, including trade. And now we’re meeting with a friend of mine — a good friend of mine, the Prime Minister of Italy. And we have many things to discuss, including trade and military and all sorts of different things that we’re working on together. And he’s done a terrific job, become very popular in Italy. A very popular man, as — I’m not surprised to say that....

The Grove Hertfordshire, United Kingdom 2:20 P.M. GMT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much. These are eight countries, plus us — plus the United States — that are fully paid. They met the goal of 2 percent. We call them the “2 percenters.” Someday, we’ll raise it to 3 percent and 4 percent, maybe. But, right now, we have it. But these are countries that have not been delinquent. They’ve been, in some cases, even more than 2 percent, because they feel so strongly about what we’re doing. And that’s really a sign of respect for the United States....

The Grove Hertfordshire, United Kingdom 1:13 P.M. GMT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much. We had a very successful NATO meeting. I think it was one of the most successful. We’re just discussing that the best, certainly, that I’ve been — I’ve been to three of them now, and this was really something very special. There’s great spirit. A lot of people are putting up a lot of money. We have $130 billion more. And within three years, we’ll have $400 billion more put up by other countries. So that’s really something. And it was a great meeting. We’re...

RUSH: Hi, folks. Once again time for more play-by-play of the news. Are you watching this? I got a bunch of emails today, including from a really good friend in California said, “I had to turn this off, Rush, it’s so disturbing. The amount of hate today is so disturbing, I just had to turn it off, otherwise it would ruin my day.” See, I can’t turn this stuff off because my job is to do play-by-play of the news. So I’m watching this. If you have heard the term “show trial” and never quite understood what it is, this...

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday morning, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley called out Democrats and fellow members of the panel for moving forward with impeachment because "everyone is mad." “I get it. You're mad. The President's mad. My Republican friends are mad. My Democratic friends are mad. My wife is mad. My kids are mad. Even my dog seems mad and Luna is a golden-doodle and they don't get mad. So, we're all mad. Where has it taken us? Will a slipshod impeachment make us less mad or will it only give an invitation for...

South Lawn December 2, 2019 10:04 A.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: So, I’m going to London, to NATO. We’re fighting for the American people. It has not been a fair situation for us because we pay far too much. As you know, Secretary Stoltenberg said that we were responsible, I was responsible, for getting over $130 billion extra from other countries that we protect, that weren’t paying. They were delinquent. So we’ll be talking about that. We’ll be talking about a lot of things. We are leading the world now on the economy, and we have been almost since I became...

Source: Fox News/Screenshot Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, heavily criticized the ongoing the impeachment inquiry during his opening remarks on Wednesday. Collins noted how there were no fact witnesses present for the first day of the Judiciary Committee hearing and how Chairman Jerry Nadler and other Democrats have a history of bias against President Trump. Instead, the four people testifying on Wednesday are law professors. "America will see why most people don’t go to law school. No offense to our professors. But please, really? We’re bringing you in here today to testify...

<p>As Katie wrote, the Democrats' impeachment report is out. It’s 300 pages long—and it’s a work of pure fiction. It’s partisan trash. We all know it is; Democrats have admitted it. This is about them trying to reverse the results of the 2016 election. It was grounded in Russian collusion nonsense, which turned out to be a pure myth. Now, we have this Trump-Ukraine phone call drama, where Trump reportedly tried to shake down the Ukrainians into investigating corruption allegations into Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma or risk having military aid withheld. We’re onto quid pro quo now.</p>

Remarks by President Trump and Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada Before Bilateral Meeting | London, United Kingdom Winfield House London, United Kingdom 3:33 P.M. GMT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much, everybody. A question was asked just a little while ago about supporting the people protesting in Iran and are going through a very tough period. And we do support them totally and have supported them from the beginning. The question was asked: “Do we support them” — I thought — “financially?” And we haven’t supported them. I don’t know that we’ve ever been actually asked to support them,...

Winfield House London, United Kingdom 2:25 P.M. GMT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much. It’s great to be with President Macron of France. And we’ve had a fairly long relationship and a very good one. And we were just discussing certain things, and then we’re going to have a long conversation afterwards. I want to, first of all, before we begin, I want to pay my respects to the great warriors that you lost in Mali — 13, and helicopters. It was very sad. I’ve gotten a report on it. We talked about it. And please give my condolences...

GMT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much. It’s a great honor to be with Secretary General Stoltenberg of NATO. This is our first meeting, meaning my first meeting of this trip. But we’ve met many times. I think he’s doing a fantastic job. I’m a big fan. His contract was extended; I was very happy about that. But you really are — you’re doing a fantastic job.

On Tuesday's New Day, co-host Alisyn Camerota melodramatically mused as to why ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page didn't speak out before, given "what she has lived with" due to President Trump's comments about her. CNN commentator Asha Rangappa, a former FBI agent, responded: "It goes to how civil servants . . . really have a culture of being apolitical, of not trying to get into partisan fights or in the crosshairs. It's not in their DNA."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“This guy is sick,” he said on Tuesday. “If he didn’t do that in the halls of Congress, he’d be thrown in jail.” The remarks come a day before the first formal impeachment hearing in the House Judiciary Committee and as House Intelligence Committee Democrats are poised to vote on and release an impeachment report to send to the Judiciary panel. Democrats have alleged that the phone call between Trump and Zelensky was part of Trump’s effort to get a political investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for military aid. Trump has denied that claim. Earlier Tuesday,...

The New York Times' Executive Editor Dean Baquet released a statement voicing his support for Bloomberg News after President Trump's campaign announced on Monday the media outlet's reporters are now banned from events.  The ban was in response to Bloomberg News' leadership extending their policy of not investigating owner and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to his now-other Democratic presidential candidates.

We condemn any action that keeps quality news media from reporting fairly and accurately...

Full title: Psychiatrists Organize Campaign to Declare Trump 'Dangerous' as Part of Impeachment Congressional RecordPsychiatrists with the World Mental Health Coalition are soliciting signatures in a campaign to support the impeachment of President Donald Trump predicated on claims that he is mentally unstable. This campaign arguably violates the ethics of psychiatry, mimicking a historic attack on another Republican presidential candidate who successfully sued for libel after psychiatrists declared him unfit for the presidency. In an email forwarded to PJ Media, three psychiatrists with the coalition ask other psychiatrists to sign on to a petition to the House of Representatives Judiciary...

House Republicans delivered a point-by-point rebuttal Monday to Democrats’ impeachment efforts, claiming in their own report that the evidence collected in the inquiry to date does not support the accusations leveled against President Trump -- or rise to the level of removal from office. “The evidence presented does not prove any of these Democrat allegations, and none of the Democrats’ witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, extortion, or any high crime or misdemeanor,” Republicans said in a 123-page report, timed to be made public ahead of the majority Democrats’ impeachment report. The dueling narratives are emerging following two weeks...

(Video Link) Hong Kong democracy supporters joined a March of Gratitude rally on Sunday to openly thank U.S. lawmakers for backing their fight against Beijing rule and their desire to live in freedom not tyranny. Some held banners reading “President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong” and “Let’s make Hong Kong great again” — a riff on his 2016 campaign pledge to make America great again. One showed the president standing atop a tank with “Trump” emblazoned on the front and side. Sunday’s show of defiance by thousands of marchers in the former British colony follows skirmishes overnight between police and...

On ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) defended President Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and said he believes it to be in the president's advantage for the president's attorneys to participate in the upcoming impeachment hearing in the House Judiciary Committee. Host Martha Raddatz asked the California conservative if there was anything in his mind regarding the president's involvement with Ukraine that he considers wrong or that concerns him in any way. "Well he didn't use the delicate language of diplomacy in that conversation," McClintock told Raddatz. "He also doesn't use the...
