Trump Says He Will Solve Problem With N. Korea Without China’s Help
Federal Judge Rules Trump Incited Violence At Campaign Rally
Then candidate, Donald Trump ordered his supporters to ‘get ‘em out of here’ during a rally in Louisville, KY, which led to protesters being assaulted.
"If China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you," Donald Trump said in an interview with UK newspa- per the Financial Times.
Pressed on whether he thought he could succeed alone, he replied: "Totally."
Trump was speaking ahead of a scheduled visit from Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
China has great influence over North Korea. And China will either decide to help us with North Korea, or they won't. And if they do that will
China’s President Xi Jipeng will visit the U. S. this week to meet with President Trump.
be very good for China, and if they don't it won't be good for anyone,” Trump told the FT.
Asked if he meant "one-on- one" unilateral action, Mr. Trump said: "I don't have to
say any more."
He did not give any further
details on what action he would take.
Trump's brief comments, published just days before the key meeting with Mr. Xi at Mr. Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thurs- day, are the latest in a series of warnings over North Korea's nuclear development.
There are fears that Py- ongyang could eventually de- velop the ability to launch long-range nuclear missiles capable of striking the main- land U. S.
A federal judge ruled on Fri- day, March 31, that President Donald Trump incited vio- lence against three protesters at a March 2016 campaign rally in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Courier-Journal re- ported that U.S. District Judge David J. Hale ruled that the protesters had established suf- ficient evidence to proceed with their case against Trump, 70, and rejected the president's at- torneys' free speech defense.
The protesters, Henry Brousseau, Kashiya Nwanguma and Molly Shah, claim they were as- saulted by the real estate mogul's supporters at the Louisville rally last year after he repeatedly urged the crowd
to "get 'em out of here." Trump's lawyers argued
that Trump didn't anticipate his supporters would use force. "It is plausible that Trump's direction to 'get 'em out of here' advocated the use of force," Hale wrote in his 22-page rul- ing. "Unlike the statements at issue in the cases cited by the Trump Defendants, 'get 'em out of here' is stated in the im- perative; it was an order, an in-
struction, a command.”
Hale also wrote in the ruling
that the removal of Nwanguma, an African- American woman, was "partic- ularly reckless." The judge declined to remove allegations that Nwanguma was a victim of racial, ethnic and sexist slurs from Trump's supporters.
Financial Disclosures Reveal Multi-Millionaires Are Running The White House
The financial statements of Trump administration offi- cials offer insight into the lu- crative private political work that’s available in Washington.
While it is no secret that Donald Trump is the richest President in American history, and possibly its first billionaire president, the new ten-week- old administration on Friday released financial disclosure forms, show more than 100 top officials’ assets presenting ar- guably the wealthiest White House clan ever.
Starting with President Trump’s daughter and son- in-law, Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kush- ner, still benefiting from their business empire, which is worth as much as $740 mil- lion.
Also, leading the pack (aside from the President himself) are billionaire cabinet members Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, whose family started a marketing company; Com- merce Secretary Wilbur Ross, a venture capitalist; and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive and Holly- wood financier.
They are followed by Gary Cohn, director of the National Economic Council and former Goldman Sachs executive, who had assets valued between $
President Donald Trump with his daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka and Jared Kushner at the White House. They are now the presidents top advisers and worth $740M.
250 million and $ 600 million, and Reed Cordish, a Balti- more-based real estate tycoon who is assistant to Trump for intragovernmental and tech- nology initiatives, with assets worth nearly $ 200 million.
Excluding Trump and the cabinet members, 27 White House officials had assets to- taling nearly $2.3 billion when they joined the administration, according to estimates as per the disclosure forms.
Among them are Presi- dential advisor Steve Ban- non, who disclosed assets between $13 million and $56 million, and Presidential aide KellyAnne Conway, who had assets worth between $10 million and $39 million.
While bragging about wealth may be considered de-
classe in some quarters, Trump and his cohorts have made a virtue of it, arguing that they have sacrificed a lot by coming into the government and suggesting that will make them less susceptible to bland- ishments.
In fact, Presidential aides boasted on Friday through pie charts showing more complex tax filings how the Trump White House was wealthier than the Obama White House.
"The president has brought a lot of people into this admin- istration, into this White House, in particular, who have been very blessed and very suc- cessful by this country and have given up a lot to come into the government by setting aside a lot of assets," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said at a briefing hours before the mandated disclo- sures, referring to the rules re- quiring government officials not to profit from some of their holdings.
Trump campaigned for of- fice as a champion of the work- ing class, but his obsession with wealth, and his surround- ing himself with moneyed peo- ple who have little in common with the core constituency that voted him to the White House, has attracted withering scrutiny.
FOX’s Political Host Bill O’Reilly: Charges Of Sexual Harassment, Payouts And His Disrespectful
Ways Coming To Forefront
Radio host Dr. Wendy Walsh, who recently told The New York Times she was sexu- ally harassed by FOX host Bill O'Reilly, held a press confer- ence on Monday and spoke out about her claims and present "new demands" to Fox News.
Walsh's attorney Lisa Bloom on Sunday tweeted the announcement of the press conference, as a follow-up to the recent Times article report- ing that five women have re- ceived payments from O'Reilly in exchange for not pursuing litigation or speaking out on their accusations against him.
The 5 women who have al- leged that O'Reilly sexually harassed them or engaged in other forms of inappropriate behavior have received a total of approximately $13 million in payouts from O'Reilly, Fox News or parent company 21st Century Fox. The New York Times revealed the informa- tion in an investigative exposé published online on Saturday.
Two of the settlements were previously known, but the Times uncovered three addi- tional settlements, two involv- ing women who alleged sexual harassment and another who claimed O'Reilly verbally abused her.
Bill O’Reilly is known for his ultra-conservative viewpoints, and racial disrespect. It is now being revealed he has sexually harassed numerous women in the workplace. Radio Host Dr. Wendy Walsh is speaking out, while 5 others took the money.
Walsh was not mentioned as one of the five women, but she did tell the Times that she rejected advances made by O'Reilly and decided not to file a complaint so that she did- n't harm her career prospects.
The longtime Fox News host, is a conservative, and big Don- ald Trump advocate who has built the No. 1 program in cable news.
Last week, he disrespected U. S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters by stating he could not listen to what she was saying on the House floor against President Trump because her hair reminded him of James Brown.
