CNN, “Residents of the Scandinavian country remain puzzled about exactly what he meant. “We were like, what’s happened right now? Has somebody stolen our meatballs?” Zeghachov, a driver in Stockholm, told CNN. “People were laughing about it.””[1]

Trump vs Truth
Why is the Muslim Ban only in Muslim Countries that don’t Have Trump Properties?
The attack near the Louvre Museum was done by an Egyptian national.[1]
The New York Times, “An Egyptian Interior Ministry official confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday that the Louvre attacker was a 28-year-old Egyptian-born man named Abdullah Reda Refaie al-Hamahmy.”[1]
Nothing Trump did would have prevented this. Perhaps it even encouraged it. Even Turkey is not on his list. Read Trumps full disclosure report.
A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.

The Daily Pole, “Egypt is currently one of the most dangerous country to travel, because of high possibility of terrorist attacks, and yet Donald Trump mysteriously omitted this country from his ban list. According to UK Foreign Ministry, traveling there is not advised, because it is too dangerous…”[2]
The properties which Trump owns or is part owner of are Trump Marks Egypt Corp and Trump Marks Egypt LLC. [2][3]
NPR, “President Donald Trump’s refugee ban in the Middle East could be one of the first conflicts of interest for the president, as his bans avoided nations that he has business ties in.”[3]

Trump’s Lies – Echos Business Past
The New York Times, “Yet even jaded connoisseurs of Oval Office dissembling were astonished over the last week by the torrent of bogus claims that gushed from President Trump during his first days in office. “We’ve never seen anything this bizarre in our lifetimes, where up is down and down is up and everything is in question and nothing is real,” said Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity and the author of “935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America’s Moral Integrity,” a book about presidential deception.”[1]

Trump’s Wall Will Cost US Consumers Dearly
The US consumer will pay at least 20% more for food and items imported from Mexico. That is, if they they can even find the products in the stores. Many products manufactured or grown in Mexico will simply be exported to other countries where such taxes are not imposed. Yes, the US consumer will get screwed.
US Consumers will pay for the wall.[1]
The Yucatan Times, “Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto announced on Twitter around midday on Thursday that he was scrapping a planned trip to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly demanded that Mexico pay for a wall on the U.S. border. Later in the day, White House spokesman Sean Spicer sent the Mexican peso falling to its low for the day when he told reporters that Trump wanted a 20 percent tax on Mexican imports to pay for construction of the wall.”[2]

Trump Continues to StillClaim Illegal Immigrants Voted
Even when he won, he still is complaining. Show us the evidence!
Huffington Post, “President Donald Trump told Capitol Hill leaders Monday evening that he lost the popular vote because 3 million to 5 million “illegals” voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton, according to three sources in both parties familiar with the meeting.”[1]
The National Post, “The remarkable weekend performance by his press secretary, Sean Spicer, wherein he asserted what was plainly and verifiably false — that Trump’s inauguration had drawn the largest crowd in history — is a reminder of how grave the threat is. Spicer’s edict, after all, was plainly on orders of his boss, intended to reinforce Trump’s claim that “a million and a half” people had been present; his own claims were in turn defended by Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway’s as “alternative facts.” Score that a tripling (quadrupling?) down on the same obvious absurdity.”[2]
