Here's something Trump told his rally crowd in Louisiana.
Trump *seemed* to be saying: 1) His crowd might not understand what he's saying about these elite schools, but *he* knows these things, because he's a big, like, student. 2) John Kennedy, senator known for folksy sayings, is actually a brilliant academic.
It is confusing, but Trump's uncle John Trump is the one who was the MIT professor for more than 30 years, while Republican Sen. John Kennedy is the one who went to Oxford but likes to act all country, according to the president.

Trump is doing a rally tonight in Dallas. Tweets and fact checks in this thread.
There is an announcement that Trump will be coming out in 20 minutes: "Get in your seats, Texas, you got seats to fill."
Trump is at least 37 minutes late. The crowd is dancing to Macho Man again.

There's no apparent basis for Trump's claim just now that "everybody" has been trying to get this Turkey deal for "10 years," unless he means Turkey's government. (He habitually claims that previous administrations couldn't have achieved deals they never tried to achieve.)
"Everybody's tried to make this deal for 15 years," Trump says. Over 11 minutes, he has gone from "many years" to "10 years" to "15 years."
Trump now says it was "more than" 15 years people have tried to get this deal. This is some of the fastest lieflation in recent memory.

Here's the transcript of the president saying at his Friday rally in Louisiana that Americans need identification to buy groceries, which they very much do not.
Trump also said the ID-for-groceries thing at a rally in July 2018.
I’d forgotten about this truly classic Sarah Sanders explanation in 2018

New Carter Page Interview with Sharyl Attkisson 👇

" From the moment he came down the escalator on June 15, 2016... #Trump had a great vision for the direction that the world should head."
Attkisson mentioned that Carter had a "brief stint" with Naval Intelligence and had a long history of working with US intel agencies.

Carter said he "alluded" to the fact he helped FBI & CIA going back decades.

Attkisson asked how that worked out.
Attkisson: "How did that come about?"

Carter Page: "Going back to my YEARS IN THE MILITARY, I had a lot of relationships and you know...." (ending with a big GRIN)

Twitter released the tweets of another 418 russian accounts on January 31.
I'm going to use this thread to take a look at the information they gave us about these accounts.
And talk about other bots and trolls you can find using this data.
blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
Of the 418 accounts 1 was a double, @CovfefeNationUS it was already included in the last batch of accounts.
One was not actually suspended until I reminded them.
2 of them had active backup accounts at the time of publication of the data.
around 320 of the accounts I had tweeted about a lot. So i'm not going to bother going back over them.
I found them right after NBC put out the 1st batch of tweets from the russian trolls.
They were bots, and most of the data about what they did is unavailable.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

Here’s how #Trump has achieved #Russia’s policy goals. It’s not just Syria. Trump’s most inexplicable or controversial foreign policy moves begin to make sense when viewed as Trump capitulating to Russian policy objectives thinkprogress.org/trump-achieve-… via @thinkprogress
Ann Coulter's right. Trump IS gutless. But not for capitulating to Dems on a wall. He's capitulating to PUTIN & RUSSIA's goals: Driving out Mattis, weakening NATO, ignoring Russia's stunning aggression in Ukraine, defending Putin, relaxing sanctions, undermining democracy etc etc
Now Trump drives Mattis out by Jan 1. This isn't normal b/c Trump is hostile to America. He aids our enemies. As I've said like a broken record, Trump is Putin's dream and America's nightmare. Bitter truth is, Republicans are OK with a Kremlin stooge president. Suicidal insanity.

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
