She's said she hopes such an event takes place at Mar-a-Lago at least three times that I've seen, not only in that one FT oped.

Sending asylum seekers to Honduras -- a country with one of the highest homicide rates in the world -- would be insane
but then we are already sending asylum seekers to El Salvador, the country with the world's *highest* murder rate

data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.I…
Colleague informs me 2017 World Bank data are out of date - El Salvador no longer has highest murder-rate distinction. Still quite high though, at ~20 murders per 100,000. If other World Bank #s are still roughly correct, it's top 20 deadliest countries apnews.com/1a9f7bf6769f48…

This is unfortunately part of a pattern of book-cooking the administration has performed in order to get its cost-benefit analyses to show that deregulation is helping, rather than hurting, the economy. A few other examples... /1
No longer including "co-benefits" of a regulation (a break from long-standing government practice and official government policy). I.e., “favorable impact of [a] rule that is typically unrelated or secondary to the statutory purpose of the rulemaking.” brookings.edu/research/exami… /2
Throwing out certain studies on the grounds that they are too old (yet still citing even older studies within the same cost-benefit analysis), in order the disregard research findings that happen to be inconvenient: environment.yale.edu/news/article/Y… /3

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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
