Trump is fooling himself with the Dow

"Trump would have trouble replicating Obama’s stock market record if he tried: That would require the Dow to hit nearly 50,000 by 2025."

dump went off the rails in WV today. The pressure's building!

In his five-minute riff, Trump hit on a familiar refrain that the Russia story is an attempt by Democrats to downplay his electoral victories -- but in a new turn, Trump raised questions about whether the special counsel will be fair and joked about the idea that Russians infiltrated his campaign.

"The Russian story is a total fabrication, it is just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics," he said. "That's all it is."

Trump's comments came at a raucous campaign rally in Huntington, West Virginia, where the President touted gains in the stock market and said his administration has already kept its campaign promises to coal workers.

"As you have seen, I have kept that promise as President," he told attendees at the rally at the 9,000-person Big Sandy Superstore Arena. "We are putting our coal miners back to work. We have ended the war on beautiful, clean coal. We have stopped the EPA intrusion. American coal exports are already up."

"Most people know there we no Russian in our campaign, there never were," he said. "We didn't win because of Russia, we won because of you. Are there any Russians here tonight? Any Russians?"

Trump went on: "They (Democrats) can't beat us at the voting booths so they are trying to cheat you out of the ... future that you want. They are trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us and most importantly demeaning to our country and demeaning to our Constitution."

Secret Service vacates Trump Tower command post in lease dispute with presidents company

Source: The Washington Post

The Secret Service has vacated its command post inside Trump Tower in Manhattan following a dispute between the government and President Trump’s company over the terms of a lease for the space, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Previously, the Secret Service had stationed its command post — which houses supervisors and backup agents on standby in case of an emergency — in a Trump Tower unit one floor below the president’s apartment.

But in early July, the post was relocated to a trailer on the sidewalk, more than 50 floors below, a distance that some security experts worry could hamper the agency that protects the president’s home and family.

The command post appears unlikely to move anytime soon back inside Trump Tower, where the president and his family have rarely gone since moving to the White House.
