Among the many signals that Donald Trump sent in his speech to the United Nations on Tuesday, one was especially clear: former chief strategist Steve Bannon's White House departure has not muted the president's "America First" foreign policy instincts.

Forget waterboarding, enduring 41 minutes of Donald Trump's vision of the world, punctuated by incessant hand gestures, smug self-congratulatory approval of the fact that he can read off a teleprompter, and sophomoric depictions of foreign leaders, is pure unadulterated torture. It is also an embarrassing exercise that tests forbearance and begs forgiveness from our allies.
A bellicose President Donald Trump used his maiden address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday to warn "Rocket Man" Kim Jong-Un that he will "totally destroy" North Korea if it threatens the United States or its allies. Appearing before the 193-member body that emerged from the ashes of World War II, Trump boasted of America's military strength, signaled he is ready to rip up a nuclear accord with the "murderous regime" in Tehran, and berated US foes from Pyongyang to Caracas.
So far, I have refrained from weighing in on Hillary Clinton's post-mortem, What Happened , even though, as one of the few pundits who predicted that Donald Trump would win the presidential election, I perhaps can claim at least some insight into what happened. Why did I foresee that Trump would win? Not because I anticipated or understood what became the Trump phenomenon.
Right-wing and fringe media are claiming yet again that President Donald Trump was correct when he accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping in Trump Tower, now arguing that a legal wiretap targeted at former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is proof of Trump's claim. However, said wiretap was pursuant to a warrant and targeted at Manafort, not Trump.

In early March, President Donald Trump drew widespread disgust from liberals when he complained via Twitter that he'd just found out that President Barack Obama "had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower before the victory." In a subsequent tweet on that same day, March 4, Trump asked: "Is it legal for a sitting President to be 'wire tapping' a race for president prior to an election?" In other tweets, Trump indicated that Obama had been tapping his phones, although he never explained how he knew or exactly what he meant.
Promising huge corporate tax cuts, President Donald Trump last month visited a Springfield, Missouri, manufacturing company run by a family of Trump campaign donors. The speech about taxes was no surprise to most, but what did catch the eye of some was the manufacturing company itself, Loren Cook Co., which recently beat a lawsuit from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after one of its workers was struck and killed by machining parts.
Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, was being wiretapped by feds - not just once, by twice - as part of an FBI investigation into his dealings in Ukraine and Russia.
