It paints a damning picture of Trump, including her claim that he used racial slurs on the set of his reality show ‘‘The Apprentice.’’‘‘When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out,’’ Trump said. ‘‘Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!’’ John Kelly is White … [Read more...] about President Trump calls Omarosa a ‘dog’ in angry early-morning tweet

Trump criticizes his Justice Department for not joining fight over Arizona driver’s licenses for ‘dreamers’
John Wagner, The Washington Post Published 5:21 am, Wednesday, March 21, 2018 Now Playing: President Trump on Wednesday again criticized his Department of Justice on Twitter.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump’s trouble with numbers
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has a creative approach to numbers. Whether he's talking about a half dozen or a half trillion, he tends to make them what he wants them to be. So it was at a political rally on the weekend following days of rhetoric on many fronts. A look at a selection of his statements over the past week: TRUMP: "Women! We love you! We love you. Hey, didn't we surprise them with women during the election? Remember? 'Women won't like Donald Trump.' I said, have I really had that kind of a problem? I don't think so. But, 'Women won't like Donald Trump. It will be a rough night for Donald Trump because the women won't come out.' We got 52 percent, right? 52." — Pennsylvania rally Saturday night for Republican House candidate Rick Saccone. THE FACTS: 52 percent is wrong. Exit polls found he got 41 percent of the votes from women in the 2016 election. The figure he cited applies only to white women. The surveys of voters found that only 4 percent of black … [Read more...] about AP FACT CHECK: Trump’s trouble with numbers
Deal lives, but Trump puts Iran on notice; fix accord or U.S. is gone, he says
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump on Friday kept alive the Iran nuclear deal he detests by waiving sanctions for the third time, but he said he will not grant another reprieve unless the agreement is amended to permanently block a potential pathway for Iran to build nuclear weapons. In conjunction with the waivers, the Treasury Department placed sanctions on 14 people and entities for alleged offenses unrelated to Iran's nuclear industry. The new measures concern human-rights abuses and censorship in Iran and the arming of groups throughout the region. Trump's decision avoided placing the United States in violation of the commitments it made in the landmark 2015 deal. But he affirmed his willingness to withdraw from it in a few months unless changes are made. "Despite my strong inclination, I have not yet withdrawn the United States from the Iran nuclear deal," Trump said in a statement that outlined several tough new rules on Iran. "Instead, I have outlined two possible paths … [Read more...] about Deal lives, but Trump puts Iran on notice; fix accord or U.S. is gone, he says
The Latest: African nations shocked, angered by Trump
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's comments on Africa and Haiti (all times local): 1:55 p.m. Botswana's government is calling President Donald Trump's vulgar comment on immigrants from African nations and Haiti "reprehensible and racist." A statement by the southern African nation says the U.S. ambassador has been summoned.

Uganda's state minister for international relations, Henry Okello Oryem, calls Trump's remarks "unfortunate and regrettable." He adds that "we pray that the almighty god gives him wisdom to change his mind about people who are suffering and looking for safe haven in America."

Obstruction inquiry shows Trump’s struggle to keep grip on Russia investigation
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump gave firm instructions in March to the White House’s top lawyer: stop the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, from recusing himself in the Justice Department’s investigation into whether Trump’s associates had helped a Russian campaign to disrupt the 2016 election. Public pressure was building for Sessions, who had been a senior member of the Trump campaign, to step aside. But the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, carried out the president’s orders and lobbied Sessions to remain in charge of the inquiry, according to two people with knowledge of the episode. McGahn was unsuccessful, and the president erupted in anger in front of numerous White House officials, saying he needed his attorney general to protect him. Trump said he had expected his top law enforcement official to safeguard him the way he believed Robert F. Kennedy, as attorney general, had done for his brother John F. Kennedy and Eric Holder had for Barack … [Read more...] about Obstruction inquiry shows Trump’s struggle to keep grip on Russia investigation
