.@realDonaldTtump has just told a press conference he threatened to "drop" captive UK-born IS fighters within the UK's borders, and leave authorities here to try and "capture" them.
Trump has also just boasted about "our very big, very monstrous, very powerful airport" in the Middle East. Yes, he said 'monstrous', it's not my predictive text going awry.
Trump also referred to himself in the third person while acknowledging the technical proficiency of IS terrorists: "These people are very smart, very technically brilliant. They use the internet better than anyone else in the world, perhaps, except Donald Trump.”
And apologies to the fake @realDonaldTtump (32 followers, two tweets sent) for mistakenly tagging you in the first tweet of this thread. I'm sure you wouldn't have said what @realDonaldTrump just did.

The US court battle over the release of @realDonaldTrump's tax returns looks like it's heading all the way to the Supreme Court.
@realDonaldTrump The most significant aspect of this ruling isn't the court's rejection of the claim that Trump doesn't have to disclose his returns - it's the rejection of the wider argument that he's immune from criminal investigation while serving as POTUS.
@realDonaldTrump "After reviewing historical & legal precedent we conclude only that presidential immunity doesn't bar the enforcement of a state grand jury subpoena directing a 3rd party to produce nonprivileged material even when the subject matter under investigation pertains to the President"

EXCL Trump family is “frustrated” at being unable to pursue “foreign investments & opportunities” according to @realDonaldTrump’s seniormost UK executive, who says “everybody in the Trump Org is going to write a book” My @TheScotsman longread. Thread 👇 scotsman.com/news/world/tru…
The 90-minute event saw Sarah Malone, executive vice-president of @TrumpScotland, speak alongside her husband, @damianbates7, who interviewed Trump multiple times in the White House for a book he co-wrote with a former Trump Org executive.
It was held in Destiny Church a controversial evangelical church in Glasgow. I attended it with 120 or so other folk last night. AFAIK this is the first time a Trump Org exec other than Eric, Don Jr & Ivanka's given a public talk since Nov ‘16. Sorry for my photography skills!

UPDATE: In light of Prestwick Airport's repeated refusal to answer my Qs re the below story, I submitted an FoI request last month. The airport has since replied, but is refusing to disclose the info I've requested about its financial transactions with the US military. Thread 👇
Prestwick says the info I've asked for about fee waivers for inbound US military aircraft is commercially sensitive and that its disclosure would damage its commercial interests. Remember, the airport has repeatedly refused to respond to allegations re the £1m+ of waivers.
Here's Prestwick's response to my FoI. Its reasons for withholding the info are outlined in the annex.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

#TrumpJr called #HowardLorber--In Nov1996, Howard Lorber and Ben LeBow brought Trump to Moscow to discuss plans for a tobacco factory, Trump Organization and the city of Moscow with the Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov. Also, #MichaelCohen's brother worked for Lorber's Douglass Elliman.
Despite of the apparent financial crisis, during the week of November 6, 1996, Trump negotiated $300 million investments in Moscow. Introduced by Lerber and LeBow, he met with two of Moscow's vice mayors, including Vladimir Resin, the vice mayor in charge of construction and
"one of the key people in charge of attracting foreign invest to the Moscow real estate market." The city was "very receptive" to the idea of Trump's developments in Moscow. old.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/t…

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

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
