‘It’s politics’: Donald Trump blames Barack Obama for organised protests and leaks

The proposal has been hit by both Democrats, who are blasting the cuts to non-defense spending, and Republican defense hawks, who have been pushing for a $640 billion base defense budget. “I would have gone one-on-one with different people”.

“No, I think that President Obama’s behind it, because his people are certainly behind it”.

In the Fox interview, Trump also touched on his budget plan, which proposes a big increase in spending on the military but significant cuts in other areas, like EPA funding.

USA Today quoted Trump as saying in the interview, “All I can do is speak from the heart and say what I want to do”.

Another major media outlet has chose to scrap a glitzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner-themed event in light of the president’s war of words against the press. He also said America has been treated unfairly by other countries.

“I believe a lot of stories are full of fiction, they just pull it out of [the] air”, he said. Indivisible is hyper-local and structured into chapters, which makes their appearances at town hall events an entirely democratic and legitimate means of political participation.

“When we help them even militarily, we’re going to ask them for a form of reimbursement”. He also stated that the remaining parts of the Obama administration and Obama supporters are behind the “very serious” leaks coming from the White House, which have aimed to hurt Trump’s administration. But I would have handled it differently than Sean.

Asked about the current president’s recent description of the media as the “enemy of the people”, Mr Bush said he considered the media to be “indispensable to democracy”.

“President Trump intends to submit a defense budget that is a mere 3% above President Obama’s defense budget, which has left our military underfunded, undersized and unready to confront threats to our national security”, McCain said in a statement on Monday. “I don’t know what he’s doing, but working doesn’t seem to be one of them”.
