CNN political analyst and former Obama national security veteran Sam Vinograd slammed President Trump on Wednesday for appearing to have "confused" his unannounced visit with troops in Iraq "with a campaign rally." “Well, Jim, he can certainly check the box that he physically made it to Iraq, but what he actually did on the ground while he was there is just as important,” Vinograd, who served as the Director of Iraq in former President Obama's National Security Council, told CNN's Jim Acosta. “The president seems to have confused in some way this troop visit with a campaign rally by raising things like the border wall and things he has done for them,” she added.

President Donald Trump is trying to turn the debate over a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border back to his political advantage as his signature pledge to American voters threatens to become a model of unfulfilled promises. Trump will hold his first campaign rally since November's midterm elections in El Paso, Texas, on Monday as he faces a defining week for his push on the wall -- and for his presidency and his 2020 prospects.
Weakened by the disastrous government shutdown and facing a fresh deadline Friday, Trump is trying to convince people that that he'll continue to push to build his long-promised wall, even though there's no way it would be anywhere near complete by the time voters have to decide whether to give him another term.

In a letter, the BBC said the press area was unsupervised, and no security had tried to intervene during the incident.

Less than two minutes into President Donald Trump’s speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he lied about special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report. “The collusion delusion is over,” Trump said on Thursday night, in his first speech since Attorney General Bill Barr announced some of Mueller’s key conclusions on Sunday. “The special counsel completed its report and found no collusion and no obstruction.”

President Trump said late Saturday that the U.S. is already sending immigrants to sanctuary cities and that it was his "sick idea."
"Last month alone, 100,000 illegal immigrants arrived at our borders, placing a massive strain on communities and schools and hospitals and public resources like nobody's ever seen before," Trump said during a rally in Green Bay, Wis. "Now we’re sending many of them to sanctuary cities. Thank you very much. They're not too happy about it. I’m proud to tell you that was actually my sick idea."
"What did they say? 'We want them,'" Trump continued. "I said we’ll give em to you."
