WaPo: At a fundraiser on Thursday, Trump said of Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland: “She hates America." He said EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini also "hates America," and that it's a shame because female leaders are often good. washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogi…
Also: Trump claimed to donors Trump that the Saudi king called him to ask for help with an "unspecified but large military operation" costing "$4 billion." He said he responded that Saudi would have to pay for U.S. help, and that the operation is probably "highly classified."
Almost none of the stories Trump tells about begging/praising people calling him to say dramatic things are true, so I would be skeptical of this story.

Most of the heroin Trump is talking about comes through legal ports of entry, not through unwalled areas.
Trump has never personally presented detailed data about how many children are being fraudulently used for border-crossing purposes, merely implying it's common. The evidence suggests it's a small minority of the families who cross.
Democrats have not made a "request" for a steel barrier, as far as anyone knows. They don't want any of this.

In my experience, immediately fact-checking Trump's immigration lies is harder than immediately fact-checking most other Trump lies -- they're often written into his speeches by people more sophisticated at deception than he is.
Most of Trump's lying is just Trump being a liar -- it's him ad-libbing out of speeches that are more or less factual. The immigration lying is an administration-wide strategy.
He repeats a lot of them, so outlets should be prepared to respond to those right away. But there's really no way to counteract a barrage of live-to-air Trump immigration lies with fact-checking, even if live-TV-fact-checking were a common thing - you can't do it fast enough.

Trump this morning: "Iran hates ISIS more than we do, if that's possible. Russia hates ISIS more than we do. Turkey hates ISIS maybe not as much as we do. But these are countries that hate ISIS."
On the shutdown, Trump said, "I may declare a national emergency dependent on what's gonna happen over the next few days."
Trump repeated his now-familiar false claim about the U.S. military presence in Syria: "When they went to Syria five years ago, they were supposed to be there three to four months. And they never came out." Experts tell me there was never any timetable on the mission.

 Rest assured #SanctionsAreWorking when #Iran's regime resorts to such saber-rattling to save face.

 Iran nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said Tehran "could resume enriching uranium to 20 percent purity - seen as well above the level suitable for fuelling civilian power plants - if it fails to see the economic benefit of the 2015 deal that curbed its nuclear program."

 “If we cannot sell our oil and we don’t enjoy financial transactions, then I don’t think keeping the deal will benefit us anymore," Salehi told Reuters ahead of a meeting with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in Brussels.

 The blueprint aiming to safeguard trade with #Iran's regime against U.S. sanctions is facing utter collapse as no EU state is willing to host the mechanism.

This is absolutely humiliating for @FedericaMog.

 "EU diplomats said the main European powers - Germany, France and Britain - would raise pressure on tiny Luxembourg to host the so-called Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)..."
3)
 "The stakes are high, for Iran has warned it could scrap a 2015 accord on curbing its nuclear program reached with world powers, including the big EU trio,..."

My take:
Shame on the EU for failing to adopt a firm approach vis-a-vis #Iran's regime.

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.
A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.
For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

"We will exit the NPT. / We will launch advanced enrichment," he says in response to Trump's May 12th #IranDeal deadline.
