Trump said he carries a wad of cash in his back pocket so he can leave tips. He said he keeps the bills ready because he hasn’t “had to use a credit card in a long time” so there’s no need to carry a wallet. “I do like leaving tips to the hotel. I like to carry a little something. I like to give tips to the hotel. I’m telling you, maybe a president’s not supposed to do it, but I like to leave a tip for the hotel, etc., etc.,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington, DC, from California late Wednesday. The question was prompted by a photo of Trump boarding the presidential aircraft when a gust of wind revealed $20 bills hanging out of his pocket. “Oh, that’s funny. So the jacket was blowing up?” he said. “Boy, that’s a good picture. Hey, I’d like a piece of that picture.” Enlarge ImageDonald Trump was spotted boarding Air Force One with cash in his back pocket.

In July Trump tweeted that congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley should “go back to the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came”. All four are US citizens and only Omar was born overseas.
The following day BBC Breakfast invited a Trump supporter on air to defend him, prompting Munchetty to discuss the US president’s use of loaded terms.
“Every time I have been told, as a woman of colour, to go back to where I came from, that was embedded in racism,” the BBC journalist told viewers in July. “Now, I’m not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases mean.”
Her co-host, Dan Walker, asked her how she felt when she heard the president use such language. She replied: “Furious. Absolutely furious and I can imagine lots of people in this country will be feeling absolutely furious a man in that position thinks it’s OK to skirt the lines by using language like that.”
Munchetty suggested that Trump’s use of such language encouraged others to use it before adding: “Anyway, I’m not here to give my opinion.”

Russia has voiced hope that the U.S. administration wouldn't publish private conversations between the two nations' presidents, like it did with Ukraine.
The rough transcript of Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy released by the White House Wednesday shows that Trump urged Ukraine to "look into" his Democratic political rival Joe Biden. The July 25 call is now the focus of a U.S. impeachment probe.
Asked Friday if Moscow is worried that the White House could similarly publish transcripts of Trump's calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "we would like to hope that it wouldn't come to that in our relations, which are already troubled by a lot of problems."
He noted that the publication of the Trump-Zelenskiy call was "quite unusual."

A federal appeals court has granted President Trump a temporary stay of decision, and he will not have to turn over his tax returns to the Manhattan district attorney.
Earlier on Monday, a federal judge in New York ruled that Trump's longtime accounting firm must turn over eight years of tax returns as part of a criminal probe of his business dealings. The president's personal attorneys immediately filed a notice of appeal.
In the earlier ruling, Judge Victor Marrero said he could not endorse such a "categorical and limitless assertion of presidential immunity from judicial process."
The ruling comes as part of a criminal investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. into alleged hush money the Trump Organization paid to two women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump before he took office. The president has denied those accusations.
Defying long-standing political custom, Trump refused to release his tax returns as a presidential candidate and has continued to keep the returns under wraps while serving in the White House.
