Pool report: Trump is calling this "the U.S.-Mexico Trade Agreement," says he wants to get rid of the name NAFTA, says, "We’ll see if Canada can be part of" the deal.
This is not what his administration is doing. His administration is working on a three-country NAFTA.
Basically, what keeps happening is that Trump says things about making two separate two-country deals with Canada and with Mexico, then his administration just keeps working on the three-country NAFTA. His rhetoric has often had almost no connection to the actual negotiations.
Trump quote: "They used to call it NAFTA. We're going to call it the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement...we'll get rid of the name NAFTA...it has a bad connotation."
In another unusual scene, Trump patched through Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto by speakerphone. After congratulating EPN, he sat at his desk looking around and looking down in silence as EPN spoke to him through a translator.
EPN emphasized to Trump that Canada should quickly rejoin the talks.
Trump to EPN: "I have a lot of good meetings that people weren't sure if they were good..."
Trump, nonsensically: "As far as Canada's concerned, we haven't started with Canada yet. We wanted to do Mexico." They've been negotiating with Canada for a year...
Trump: "Canada will start negotiations shortly. I'll be calling the prime minister very soon...and if they'd like to negotiate fairly, we'll do that." He complains about Canadian dairy tariffs.
Trump threatens Canada: "The easiest thing we can do is tariff their cars coming in...it's a very simple negotiation, it could end in one day."
Trump repeats that he considers this "the U.S.-Mexico Trade Agreement." He adds: "We'll see whether we'll decide to put up Canada...or just make a separate deal with Canada...the simplest deal is already made."
Again, his administration is just working on a three-country NAFTA.
Trump is providing no details whatsoever. "It's an incredible deal," he says.
Trump claims that the Mexican government has promised him to immediately start purchasing "as much farm product as they can." No idea what he's talking about

WASHINGTON—In a timely tribute to a woman they are calling a fearless American hero, the White House released a statement Monday recognizing and honoring the woman who called then-presidential candidate Barack Obama an Arab during a town hall event in 2008.
“It is with great reverence that we celebrate the courage, life, and work of the woman who told John McCain at a 2008 campaign rally that she couldn’t trust Barack Obama because he was an Arab,” the statement read in part.
“Despite the fact that it would have been far easier for her to hold her tongue and remain silent, she bravely stood up for her country and called Obama out for being a foreigner, and in doing so, she truly earned the title of ‘maverick.’
A ruthless defender of patriotism who refused to cower during her shining moment on the national stage, she courageously focused national attention on Obama’s Muslim pedigree.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your service, ma’am.” The statement concluded by saying that her brave and inspiring comments would live on in this country for generations to come.
Former ...
“...a nation of ideals, not blood and soil.”

WASHINGTON — As President Trump has threatened to take away the security clearance of Bruce G. Ohr, a career Justice Department official, he has described him as a “creep,” accused him of profiting off “disgraced” information and wondered aloud why he still works in the executive branch.
But Mr. Ohr is far from corrupt, friends and former colleagues said. An experienced law enforcement official who spent years battling Russian organized crime, he developed a deep understanding of that dangerous underworld, they said, including raising concerns about at least one oligarch whose name has resurfaced amid the scrutiny of contacts between Trump associates and Russia.
As part of this work, Mr. Ohr, 56, met a British spy who specialized in Russia, Christopher Steele, and the two men developed a bond based on their shared expertise. Mr. Steele went on to investigate ties between Mr. Trump and Russia for the same research firm, Fusion GPS, where Mr. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked as a contractor.
Those connections have upended Mr. Ohr’s once relatively anonymous life, dragging him into the maelstrom of the Russia investigation. His meetings with Mr. Steele, who compiled a dossier of salacious, unverified material about Mr. Trump and was an F.B.I. informant, have prompted the president and his allies, armed with little evidence, to cast Mr. Ohr and his wife as villains, part of a pro-Clinton cabal out to destroy the president.

Bruce Ohr Fought Russian Organized Crime. Now He’s a Target of Trump.
After Michael Cohen’s plea deal last week, https://www.vanityfair.com/people/donald-trump#intcid=dt-hot-link spiraled out of control, firing wildly in all directions. He railed against “flippers” in a rambling Fox & Friends interview, and lashed out on Twitter at Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department, and Robert Mueller. In the wake of his outbursts, White House officials have discussed whether Trump would listen to his closest New York City friends in an effort to rein him in. Two sources briefed on the matter told me that senior officials talked about inviting Rudy Giuliani and a group of Trump’s New York real-estate friends including Tom Barrack, Richard LeFrak, and Howard Lorber to the White House to stage an “intervention” last week.
“It was supposed to be a war council,” one source explained. But Trump refused to take the meeting, sources said. “You know Trump—he hates being lectured to,” the source added. (Spokespeople for LeFrak and Lorber say they have no knowledge of a meeting. A spokesperson for Barrack didn’t comment.)
More than ever, Trump is acting by feeling and instinct. “Trump is nuts,” said one former West Wing official. “This time really feels different.” Deputy Chief of Staff Bill Shine has privately expressed concern, a source said, telling a friend that Trump’s emotional state is “very tender.” Even Jared Kushner and https://www.vanityfair.com/people/ivanka-trump#intcid=dt-hot-link are unsettled that Trump is so gleefully acting on his most self-destructive impulses as his legal peril grows.
According to a source, Jared and Ivanka told Trump that stripping security clearances from former intelligence officials would backfire, but Trump ignored them. Kushner later told a friend Trump “got joy” out of taking away John Brennan’s clearance. His reaction to the death of John McCain—quashing a White House statement in praise of the senator, and restoring White House flags to full staff—falls into the same self-indulgent category.

After Cohen effectively named Trump an unindicted co-conspirator in campaign-finance crimes with the payments to Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, Trump’s public posture was that the payments weren’t crimes. Privately, according to two sources, Trump attorneys suggested that a strategy for dealing with the issue could be for Trump to admit to having affairs with women and paying hush money to them for years. That way, he could assert that the payments to Daniels and McDougal were normal business—not campaign donations meant to influence the 2016 election. Trump, according to the sources, rejected this advice. “It was because of Melania,” one source said.
Inside the West Wing, a sense of numbness and dread has set in among senior advisers as they gird for what Trump will do next. “It’s a return to the abyss,” said one former official who’s in frequent contact with the White House. “This is back to being a one-man show, and everyone is on the outside looking in.”
