Trump Claims Obama Is “Behind” Protests Against Him And White House Leaks

“I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year”, the tweet reads. I want great trade between countries.

“We have come up with a solution that really, really, I think, very good”, the president said of the not yet-released plan.

The White House will send Trump’s proposal to federal departments on Monday as he gears up for budget negotiations with Congress that often take months to play out. “I also think it is politics, that’s the way it is”. “I think he is behind it”. The official echoed Trump’s promise that the new budget would be implemented simultaneously with cuts across other government agencies, as well as to foreign aid.

“We can do so much more with the money we spend”.

Speaking to Fox and Friends, the USA president also said he would have dealt with the crackdown on leaks differently from his press secretary. “You know, somebody said, “Oh, maybe he’s a total nationalist”.

Asked about domestic programs, which fall into the non-defense discretionary part of the federal budget, Mulvaney said, “Some of them will actually be increased”.

These proposals are in a way the President’s wishlist that United States congress, which controls the country’s purse strings, can incorporate in its expenditure legislation totally or in parts or reject them altogether. “We’re going to get numbers way up, and we’re going to get jobs back in our country”, he said.

Earlier this week, Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that First Lady Melania Trump has helped to lead the gala’s planning. “A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people”.

“Obamacare is a failed disaster”, Trump said of his predecessor’s chief legislative achievement.

The New York Times has said it will respond to Mr Trump’s attacks on the media by broadcasting an advertisement called The Truth Is Hard during Sunday’s Oscars.
