For all his antics on the Mexican border, the US president is right to be withdrawing troops from Syria
For a Briton to spend time in the US just now is a blessed relief. Whole days pass, and no talk of Brexit. It is as if a pall has lifted from the art of conversation. But the US has its own deep divide, slashing through the populist body politic. It is Donald Trump and “America first”.
Trump has become a phenomenon. Like Samson in the temple, he seems able to topple the entire edifice of policy. Down crashes America’s government machine for the sake of a wall, world trade is devastated, stock markets plummet, alliances lie in ruins. It is astonishing what one man can do to the world, virtually alone.
Donald Trump tweeted an image mocking Senator Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for president.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein says former Vice President Joe Biden is her top pick for a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.
“I’ve watched him as vice president, I’ve seen him operate, I’ve seen him perform,” the California Democrat told Politico. “He brings a level of experience and seniority which I think is really important.”

Incoming Utah senator says president has abandoned allies and failed to lead a ‘divided, resentful and angry’ nation
Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential candidate and incoming US senator, has sharply criticised Donald Trump both personally and professionally, accusing him of deserting the nation’s allies and lacking the character to lead a “divided” nation.
In a Washington Post essay published on Tuesday evening, Romney said Trump’s presidency “made a deep descent” in December and blamed him for the departures of defence secretary Jim Mattis and White House chief of staff John Kelly.

After two years of drum-rolling, Donald Trump’s “ultimate deal” for Israelis and Palestinians is about to enter what its architects claim is the pre-launch phase.

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump signed a letter of intent in the effort to land a deal for a Trump property in Moscow, according to a document published Tuesday by CNN , after Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani denied Sunday that anyone had signed such a document. The agreement dated Oct. 28, 2015 , more than four months after Trump announced his presidential campaign outlined the sale of the "non-exclusive right to use one or more derivates of the 'Trump' name" to Russian developer Andrey Rozov in a mixed-use project that would include "250 first class, luxury" condominiums and "one first class, luxury hotel" with commercial, office and parking components that are "consistent with the overall luxury of the Property."
The Latest on the fight over funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall and a potential partial government shutdown : Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says it's good news that President Donald Trump has apparently retreated from his demand that Congress pay for a border wall with Mexico.

Democrats may be winning a short-term victory on keeping the government open, but President Donald Trump is "probably trying to get past the Christmas season," and he will keep fighting for border security, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday. "I have always thought having been through shutdowns when I was speaker, I don't think shutting government down on Christmas Eve is particularly big win for anybody," Gingrich told Fox News' "Fox and Friends."
Washington - President Donald Trump's former national security chief on Tuesday received a delay in sentencing for lying over Russian contacts, after a judge threatened him with stiff jail time and said: "You sold your country out." Russia collusion investigation head Robert Mueller had proposed Michael Flynn receive no jail time for lying to investigators about his Moscow ties -- and in his own pitch to the court last week, Flynn had requested the same.
Mr Mueller is in charge of the investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. The president has dismissed the probe as a "witch hunt".

A major agriculture bill passed by the U.S. Congress last week could legalize hemp at the federal level, allowing farmers across the country to cultivate hemp, but that doesn't necessarily spell good news for Humboldt County.
