The issue of Canada's Super Bowl ads was one of the very weirdest parts of the NAFTA talks. As the LA Times reported, its resolution -- and, specifically, Goodell supposedly praising Trump over this -- seems to be responsible for Trump warming to the NFL: thestar.com/news/world/201…
It is not clear how much of a role, if any, Trump had in the negotiations on this issue, which he has sometimes suggested he personally resolved in "two seconds." A Canadian government source says they are not aware of Trump raising it with the Canadians.
Actually, the Trump change means Canadians *won’t* get American Super Bowl ads. The NFL wants to sell Canadian rights for a lot of money, so wants Canadians watching Canadian channels with Canadian ads rather than flipping to CBS for the fancy ads.
Since the new NAFTA hasn't come into effect, Canadians can still get the fancy U.S. ads this year on CBS. TSN, CTV and CTV2 will be showing regular ole ads. This is my last tweet about Super Bowl ads.

Trump made 12 false claims in last year’s State of the Union. That is not good, but it’s very low for him for that much talking (80 minutes). He lies much less when he’s on-script.
By contrast, Trump regularly makes 20 or more false claims in his rally speeches, during which he's mostly off-script. His record is 36 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania last year. Also: 32 in Texas and Missouri, 30 in Ohio, Montana and Iowa, 29 in Florida, Montana and Montana.
Trump's lies overwhelmingly come from him and not his staff: his written speeches are more or less factual, though they're filled with questionable subjective claims. One exception is the immigration sections, which often contain Miller-ish falseness.

CBS's Brennan asked Trump if he thinks Kaepernick and other players have a point about the police. Trump answered, "Well, you know, I'm the one that had passed judicial reform. And if you look at what I did, criminal judicial reform, and what I've done - President Obama tried."
Trump, who at campaign rallies said the NFL has "become soft" for cracking down on violence to players' heads, told CBS's Brennan that he wouldn't steer his son toward football because it's so "dangerous."
Trump reiterated his desire to withdraw from Afghanistan, saying it's time to end "endless wars." Brennan asked if it's harder for US intelligence without troops on the ground; he said, "We'll come back if we have to. We have very fast airplanes, we have very good cargo planes."

This is another major lie from Trump about human trafficking. No expert would say "almost all" human trafficking comes over the southern border. Experts emphasize that a large percentage of victims are U.S. citizens, trafficked within the United States.
For example, the Trump administration's 2017 human trafficking report said "DOJ’s grantees reported that 66 percent of clients served during the reporting period were U.S. citizens or LPRs (lawful permanent residents)." state.gov/j/tip/rls/tipr…
Man. Trump said today at his human trafficking meeting, "Human trafficking by airplane is almost impossible." It's so common that airport and airline workers are being trained in how to spot it. There are posters in the Vegas airport. wsj.com/articles/a-new…

☎️Lorber☎️

DonJr.'s blocked phone calls ahead of the 2016 TT meeting went to longtime Trump fam friends: Brian France & Howard Lorber.

Lorber is one of Trump's BFFs, one of his top advisers, big fundraiser & a long-term partner with Trump in trying to develop a TT in Moscow.
☎️Lorber☎️

📌Lorber’s Vector Group made a "seven-figure" investment in Steven Calk’s bank.

📌Calk’s bank loaned Manafort 16M in mortgage loans.

📌Of course Lorber sued Calk 💰💦

📌Calk and Lorber were both named to Trump’s economic advisory council on Aug. 5, 2016.
☎️Lorber4☎️

Correction: Lorber donated 235k to Trump’s campaign.

Michael Cohen’s brother Bryan works for Douglas Elliman—Lorber is chairman

Barr confirmation vote delayed after Democrats raise Mueller report concerns

Is Steve Schmidt the new Tad Devine [Manafort & Bernie]?

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

“We’re not negotiating with Canada right now,”
Mr. Trump said at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.

“Their tariffs are too high; their barriers are too strong.
So we’re not even talking to Canada them right now.”

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
