Trump reignites battle with The Squad

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is doubling down in his fight with the “The Squad” this morning on Twitter, writing that he doesn’t believe the four House Democratic lawmakers are “capable of loving our Country.” Trump’s decision to reignite his verbal assault against Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) comes a week after he tweeted the four should “go back and fix the countries they came from” and just days after he disavowed the “send her back” chants at his North Carolina rally last week that rattled GOP lawmakers. On Friday, Trump reversed himself again -- calling his supporters “incredible patriots.”

HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING UP? … HERE’S WHAT TRUMP IS SAYING THIS A.M. -- at 7:58 a.m.: “The Washington Post Story, about my speech in North Carolina and tweet, with its phony sources who do not exist, is Fake News. The only thing people were talking about is the record setting crowd and the tremendous enthusiasm, far greater than the Democrats. You’ll see in 2020!”

… at 7:59 a.m.: “Presidential Harassment!” … at 8 a.m.: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

… at 8:07 a.m.: “I don’t believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country. They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible (hateful) things they have said. They are destroying the Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can never destroy our great Nation!”

-- IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE this is what Republican lawmakers who have urged Trump to tone down his rhetoric want.

SUNDAY BEST … GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS spoke with House Oversight Chairman ELIJAH CUMMINGS (D-M.D.) on ABC’S “THIS WEEK”: CUMMINGS: “These are folks and women who love their country and they work very hard and they want to move us towards that more perfect union that our founding fathers talked about. And -- and so when you disagree with the president, suddenly you're -- you’re a bad person. Our allegiance is not to the president. Our allegiance is to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the American people and I -- I’m going to tell you, these are some of the most brilliant young people that I have met and I am honored to -- to -- to serve with them.”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “Do you believe President Trump is a racist?” CUMMINGS: “I believe he is -- yes, no doubt about it. And -- and I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I got to tell you … When I think about what he said to these young ladies who are merely trying to bring excellence to government and trying to make sure that generations yet unborn have an opportunity to experience a true democracy, when I hear those things it takes me back, like I said. And -- and -- and I can still remember bleeding from my forehead when people were throwing bottles -- and these were adults, throwing bottles and saying go home nigger. ...

“The president has to set the tone. He needs to be a role model. I would say to the president right now -- right now, Mr. President, we want you to be a role model, we want somebody in that White House who our children can be proud of, who are children can emulate, who our children will look up to, and that is not the kind of example that you're setting, and I’m telling you, Mr. President, you and we, our nation is better than that.”

-- SEN. CORY BOOKER (D-N.J.) spoke with DANA BASH on CNN’S “STATE OF THE UNION” about Trump’s tweets: “This is a guy who is worse than a racist. He is actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gains, trying to use this as a weapon to divide our nation against itself. And this is somebody who is very similar to George Wallace, to racists who use -- he's using the exact same language. … We have a demagogue, fear-mongering person who's using race to divide. And this is a referendum, not on him. It's actually a referendum on the heart and soul of our country.”

THE WHITE HOUSE REBUTTAL … MAJOR GARRETT spoke with VP MIKE PENCE on CBS’ “FACE THE NATION” about the chants at the North Carolina rally: GARRETT: “[The president] will make an effort to speak out about it?” PENCE: “That's what he's already said. ... I think that millions of Americans share a -- share the president's frustration about sitting members of Congress engaging in that kind of reckless rhetoric, whether it be anti-Semitic rhetoric, whether it be referring to Border Patrol agents as running concentration camps, and the president thought it was important to stand up to them. And -- and I'm glad he did it.”

GARRETT: “Can you be patriotic and oppose the president's reelection?” PENCE: “Of course.”

-- CHRIS WALLACE spoke with White House senior adviser STEPHEN MILLER on “FOX NEWS SUNDAY”: “Why shouldn't someone see all of that as racist?” MILLER: “I think the term ‘racist,’ Chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by the left, Democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with, speech that they don’t want to hear. The reality is this president has been the president for all Americans. … I fundamentally disagree with the view that if you criticize somebody and they happen to be a different color skin that that makes it a racial criticism.” More from Eleanor Mueller on Miller’s appearance

BEHIND THE SCENES -- “‘He always doubles down’: Inside the political crisis caused by Trump’s racist tweets,” by WaPo’s Michael Scherer, Josh Dawsey, Ashley Parker and Seung Min Kim: “President Trump’s own top aides didn’t think he fully understood what he had done last Sunday, when he fired off a trio of racist tweets before a trip to his golf course.

“After he returned to the White House, senior adviser Kellyanne Conway felt compelled to tell him why the missives were leading newscasts around the country, upsetting allies and enraging opponents. … Trump defended himself. He had been watching ‘Fox & Friends’ after waking up.

“He wanted to elevate the congresswomen, as he had previously discussed with aides. ... The president said he thought he was interjecting himself into Democratic Party politics in a good way. …

“As is often the case, Trump acted alone — impulsively following his gut to the dark side of American politics, and now the country would have to pick up the pieces. The day before, on the golf course, he hadn’t brought it up. Over the coming days, dozens of friends, advisers and political allies would work behind the scenes to try to fix the mess without any public admission of error because that was not the Trump way.”

NEW … THE PRESIDENT’S WEEK AHEAD: MONDAY: Trump will meet with Pakistani PM Imran Khan. TUESDAY: The president will deliver remarks at Turning Point USA’s “Teen Student Action Summit 2019.” He will have lunch with Secretary of State Mike Pence. The president will also meet with Senate Republicans. WEDNESDAY: Trump will have lunch with VP Mike Pence. He will travel to West Virginia for a fundraising committee reception. THURSDAY: Trump will participate in a celebration for his “Pledge to America’s Workers.”

A HEADLINE TRUMP IS GOING TO LIKE -- MAGGIE SEVERNS: “RNC more than doubles DNC's fundraising haul in June”: “The Democratic National Committee raised $8.5 million in June, the month of the party's presidential debates in Miami — less than half of the $20.7 million the Republican National Committee pulled in during that time period, new disclosures show.

“The DNC also spent almost as much money as it raised — $7.5 million — during that time and finished the month with $9.3 million cash on hand. The RNC is meanwhile building a larger war chest during the lead-up to 2020 and had $43.5 million cash on hand at the end of the month.” POLITICO

MORE SUNDAY BEST -- CHRIS WALLACE also spoke with House Judiciary Committee JERRY NADLER (D-N.Y.) on “FOX NEWS SUNDAY” about Democrats’ strategy for the Robert Muller hearing Wednesday. NADLER: “We want the American people to hear directly from Special Counsel Mueller what his investigation found. The president and the attorney general and others have spent the last few months systematically lying to the American people about what the investigation found.

“They said that it found no collusion, that it found no, uh, obstruction, that it exonerated the president. All three of those statements are absolute lies. It found a great deal of collusion, it found a great deal of, uh, obstruction of justice by the president and it found, uh, and it pointed, refused to exonerate.”

-- ON WHAT’S NEXT: NADLER: “The report presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and we have to present -- or let Mueller present these facts to the American people and see where we go from there. Because the administration must be held accountable. And no president can be, can be above the law.”

KNOWING MUELLER -- “In 88 Trips to Capitol Hill, Mueller Grew Weary of Partisanship,” by NYT’s Noah Weiland: “Over decades of appearances before Congress, Mr. Mueller showed little patience for politics, and he grew weary of the partisanship that came with legislative oversight, according to interviews with former colleagues, law enforcement officials and lawmakers.

“A review of dozens of hours of his hearings — Mr. Mueller has appeared before Congress 88 times dating back to 1990, according to the Senate Historical Office, among the most of any official ever — offers insight into what kind of witness he will be this week. He was by turns forbidding and protective of the F.B.I.’s mission, yet sympathetic to Congress’s obligation to monitor the bureau’s transformation from a crime-fighting agency into a centerpiece of the government’s post-Sept. 11 counterterrorism apparatus.” NYT

SCHUMER’S TRIP TO THE BORDER … Senate Minority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER led a delegation of Democrats to the U.S.-Mexico border Friday where they were told that the administration had moved roughly 400 migrants out of the facility the day before, according to a Democratic aide on the trip. The conditions at the government-run facilities were “generally awful” and the senators were “very disturbed.”

USING TRANSLATORS, the senators talked with several of those held at the facility and were told many of them had not been allowed to shower or brush their teeth since being taken into custody. At the Ursula center they found a pretty gruesome scene: “The cages were so full that the children could barely walk around. The women and children were almost all wrapped in Mylar blankets.”

BEN SCHRECKINGER and DANIEL LIPPMAN: “Meet the woman who ties Jeffrey Epstein to Trump and the Clintons”: “How did wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein come to be palling around with Bill Clinton and Donald Trump? People who know those involved say Epstein’s connections to two U.S. presidents ran through one bubbly British heiress: Ghislaine Maxwell. …

“Her family knew Trump before Epstein arrived on the scene, and she continued to socialize with Chelsea Clinton after Epstein was jailed on sex offenses. Maxwell first grew close with the Clintons after Bill Clinton left office, vacationing on a yacht with Chelsea Clinton in 2009, attending her wedding in 2010, and participating in the Clinton Global Initiative as recently as 2013, years after her name first emerged in accounts of Epstein’s alleged sexual abuse.

“‘Ghislaine was the contact between Epstein and Clinton,’ said a person familiar with the relationship. ‘She ended up being close to the family because she and Chelsea ended up becoming close.’ (Lawyers for Maxwell did not respond to requests for comment, and a spokesperson for Clinton disputed the idea that the two women were ever close.) Trump’s ties to Maxwell and her late father, the publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, meanwhile, go back even further, to at least the late 1980s.” POLITICO

TRADE WARS -- “Chinese Money in the U.S. Dries Up as Trade War Drags On,” by NYT’s Alan Rappeport: “Growing distrust between the United States and China has slowed the once steady flow of Chinese cash into America, with Chinese investment plummeting by nearly 90 percent since President Trump took office.

“The falloff, which is being felt broadly across the economy, stems from tougher regulatory scrutiny in the United States and a less hospitable climate toward Chinese investment, as well Beijing’s tightened limits on foreign spending. It is affecting a range of industries including Silicon Valley start-ups, the Manhattan real estate market and state governments that spent years wooing Chinese investment, underscoring how the world’s two largest economies are beginning to decouple after years of increasing integration.” NYT

THE LATEST IN IRAN -- “UK navy heard in audio trying to thwart Iran ship seizure,” by AP’s Aya Batrawy in Dubai, United Arab Emirates: “In an audio recording released Sunday, a British naval officer can be heard saying the transit of a British-flagged vessel through the Strait of Hormuz must not be impaired under international law as Iranian naval forces warn the vessel to change course.” AP

VALLEY TALK -- “Does Silicon Valley need a new regulator?” by Nancy Scola and Margaret Harding McGill: “The federal government's struggles to rein in Facebook are driving some Democrats and consumer advocates to a stark conclusion: The agency charged with regulating Silicon Valley is not up to the task. ...

“Those calls have only grown during a week of bipartisan derision for the FTC's proposed $5 billion privacy fine for Facebook — a historically large penalty by U.S. standards, but one that many lawmakers have called laughably small given the social networking giant's resources. The markets also shrugged at the proposed punishment, which comes after months of settlement talks with the company: Facebook's stock price hit its highest point in almost a year after news of the fine broke.” POLITICO

So I Asked,” by Claudia Rankine in the NYT Magazine: “The running comment in our current political climate is that we all need to converse with people we don’t normally speak to, and though my husband is white, I found myself falling into easy banter with all kinds of strangers except white men. They rarely sought me out to shoot the breeze, and I did not seek them out. Maybe it was time to engage, even if my fantasies of these encounters seemed outlandish. I wanted to try.” NYT Magazine

And weapons require export licenses from the State Department. ... This may not guarantee that exports won’t ever go to countries with spotty records, like Saudi Arabia, but it provides a stronger basis for Congress or the State Department to block them. It would also require pressuring allies — including Germany, Italy and Israel — to follow suit on allowing sales only to countries that respect human rights.” NYT

The quarreller will elaborate endlessly to anyone on the injustice he’s suffered — with the crucial exception of the putative wrongdoer. A fully established quarrel is a life project.” Tablet (h/t TheBrowser.com)
