WEEKLY LOOK AT NATIONAL NEWS & EVENTS

From the White House:
Remarks by President Trump at Make America Great Again Rally | Louisville, KY
" Uncontrolled immigration -- you see what’s going on there; that’s happening quickly.  Little problem with the courts not wanting to give us the decisions that should be given -- but we’re going to win it -- and a financial system stacked against the American people.
These entrenched interests will do anything they can to keep the broken system in place, but they will fail, and we will win.  Because we are fighting on the side of our great American heritage.  (Applause.)  This place is packed.    I mean, I don’t want to say this -- we could have been watching a good basketball game tonight, right?  What happened?  What happened?  That’s all right.  You’ve done a good job, right?  You've a good job.  Great team, great coach.  It’s all right."---President Trump

Remarks by President Trump in a Bilateral Meeting with Prime Minister al-Abadi of Iraq
PRESIDENT TRUMP:  Mr. Prime Minister, it’s an honor to have you here before our Cabinet, which I hope in years to come will be thought of one the great Cabinets in the history of the United States.  We just spent a few minutes speaking in the Oval Office and learning and giving each other ideas.  One of the things I did ask is why did President Obama sign that agreement with Iran, because nobody has been able to figure that one out.  But maybe someday we’ll be able to figure it out.
