Martin Luther King “would be proud” of Donald Trump for “what he’s done for the black and Hispanic community”, Steve Bannon has suggested. The civil rights leader would approve of the president’s anti-immigration policies as they prevent “illegal alien labour forces” competing with black Americans for jobs, the Republican’s former chief strategist claimed. Speaking on BBC Two’s Newsnight, Mr Bannon said: “Donald Trump has the lowest black unemployment in history. Donald Trump has the lowest Hispanic unemployment in 25 years.

Laurel or Yanny? You’ll never guess what Donald Trump hears
News by Press Association 18/05/2018, 2:46 am FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail Send us a story Sign up to our Daily newsletter After taking on the challenge of settling some of the world’s most pressing and acrimonious disputes, Donald Trump has waded into another – the yanny/laurel debate. The self-professed arbiter-in-chief’s verdict is unlikely to settle the global controversy, however it may be evidence the famously proud US president is happy to laugh at himself. The White House posted a video of various members of the Trump administration, including daughter Ivanka Trump and vice president Mike Pence, revealing what they hear the ear-teaser say. Giving the final word from the Oval Office, Mr Trump tells the camera: “I hear covfefe.” It is an apparent reference to an infamous May 2017 tweet from Mr Trump that contained the term – which is widely considered to be nonsense. Ms Trump says the clip is “so clearly … [Read more...] about Laurel or Yanny? You’ll never guess what Donald Trump hears
Rudy Giuliani is not out of control. His media blitz is exactly what Donald Trump wants
Rob Crilly 8 May 2018 • 1:55pm Since being appointed legal firefighter to Team Trump, Rudy Giuliani has contrived to contradict the President, contradict himself, suggest Donald Trump’s fixer would have paid off more women beyond Stormy Daniels “if necessary”, hint that the President may be preparing to take the Fifth Amendment if questioned by federal investigators, and generally muddied the mess he was supposed to clean up. Sunday marked the fifth consecutive day of his media blitz, and the fifth consecutive day of legal brains suggesting the former mayor of New York had lost his marbles. Perhaps the man noted for his dogged pursuit of organised crime in the decaying Big Apple of the Eighties, who rose to international fame...

This is what Donald Trump has actually done in his first year as President
When Donald Trump went into the Oval Office, the rulebook went out. “Mr Trump came to Washington basically promising to shake things up, and he’s certainly done that,” says Professor Peter Trubowitz, director of the United States Centre at the London School of Economics. “Washington hasn’t been jolted this way for a very long time, so I suppose you could say Trump managed to achieve what he set out to do on that score.” The President’s actions, words and tweets have sent shockwaves around the world during his first 12 months in office. Approval for the US’s role in the world fell to a historic low in a Gallup poll released this week, with the country on a par with China in the eyes of citizens across the globe. Domestically, he has historically low approval ratings but support among his core voters has held relatively firm. One year on from his inauguration - itself the cause of a row over photos of sparse crowds for … [Read more...] about This is what Donald Trump has actually done in his first year as President
New US embassy opens in what Donald Trump branded ‘off location’ in London
The new US embassy in London has officially opened days after hitting back at Donald Trump for suggesting its move to a new location was a “bad deal”. The United States president cancelled a visit to the UK to open the new American embassy, criticising its move from Grosvenor Square in the prestigious Mayfair district of central London to an “off location” at Nine Elms, south of the Thames. But last week a US embassy spokesman insisted it was completed within its one billion dollar (£730 million) budget and said the plan to finance it was developed in 2007, when George W Bush was in the White House, suggesting Mr Trump was wrong to blame predecessor Barack Obama. Reports have suggested the president may have called off his trip because he felt he had “not been shown enough love” by the British Government. But Boris Johnson said he expects Mr Trump would still visit the UK “in due course” and called for a “grown-up … [Read more...] about New US embassy opens in what Donald Trump branded ‘off location’ in London
