U.S. Military’s Space in Trump Tower Costs $130,000/Month
Property is being leased by a military office that supports the White House; government agency says its owner isn’t affiliated with the Trump Organization
July 18, 2017 Updated July 19, 2017
WASHINGTON—The U.S. government is paying more than $130,000 a month to lease space in Trump Tower for the military office that supports the White House, even though Donald Trump hasn’t spent a night at the New York skyscraper since becoming president.
The government signed a $2.39 million lease to rent a 3,475 sq. ft. space in the building for the military from April 11, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2018, nearly 18 months in total, according to lease documents [ https://www.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/GSADOC.pdf ] that The Wall Street Journal obtained through a freedom of information request.
The government agreed to pay $180,000 for the last 20 days of April 2017 and $130,000 a month thereafter, according to the contract released by the General Services Administration, the agency that negotiates office space agreements for the government.
The GSA redacted large portions of the lease, including the name of the person who owns the Trump Tower space the government is renting. A Pentagon official wrote in a letter seen by the Journal that the space is owned privately by someone unaffiliated with the Trump Organization and that the department sees no way in which Mr. Trump can benefit from the rent money. Records indicate the owner is Joel R. Anderson, Mr. Trump’s neighbor.
The military’s lease in Trump Tower puts the space far above market rate for similarly sized apartments in the luxury high rise market and makes it one of the most expensive residential rentals in Manhattan.
The U.S. military uses the White House Military Office to provide medical, food, transportation and communications services that by regulation need to be close to the president at all times. The military also ensures that the so-called nuclear football—the briefcase that allows the president to authorize a nuclear attack—accompanies the commander in chief during his travels. Its operations are separate from those of the Secret Service.
The rental figure, which hasn’t been disclosed previously, is only for the Defense Department. Other agencies, such as the U.S. Secret Service, also face increased costs stemming from Mr. Trump’s frequent visits to his other properties and his large family.
The Secret Service, for example, requested an additional $25.7 million in the 2018 budget [ https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/CFO/17_0524_U.S._Secret_Service.pdf ] to cover expenses associated with securing Trump Tower and the president’s “protective footprint” in New York City.
The most expensive Trump Tower listing recently was a 3,725 sq. ft., three-bedroom apartment on the 62nd floor. It was listed in the spring of 2016 for $50,000 a month unfurnished and $60,000 a month furnished, according to Streeteasy.com.

The Secret Service is Sick of Getting Hosed by Donald Trump
After a dispute with the Trump Organization, the Secret Service has ditched the skyscraper for a comparatively cheap trailer.
August 4, 2017
ince Donald Trump packed up his bathrobes [ https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/02/07/photo-of-trump-in-a-bathrobe-emerges-amid-spat-with-new-york-tim/21709047/ ] and self-tanning formula last January and begrudgingly moved into that “dump [ https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/donald-trump-white-house-dump ]” on Pennsylvania Avenue, rare is the weekend that he hasn’t fled D.C. In the winter and spring, he’d jet down to his Palm Beach palace, Mar-a-Lago, entertaining world leaders and crashing weddings [ https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/02/mar-a-lago-members-trump-presidency ]. As the days have gotten hotter and the president has presumably begun to shvitz, he’s moved things north to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where on Friday he’ll begin a 17-day vacation [ http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-essential-washington-updates-as-trump-plans-17-day-vacation-his-1501784708-htmlstory.html ].
The one place he surprisingly hasn’t visited, however, is his beloved Trump Tower apartment in Midtown Manhattan (although that may have more to do to with the throngs of protesters [ http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/03/politics/donald-trump-new-york-city/index.html ] who have become fixtures outside the building). Still, by law, the Secret Service treats Trump Tower as the president’s main residence and must keep a team there to protect it. Which it was doing from inside the skyscraper until recently, when it was forced to move to a trailer on the street after lease negotiations broke down with the Trump Organization. Per The Washington Post [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-vacates-trump-tower-command-post-in-lease-dispute-with-presidents-company/2017/08/03/7338de16-785d-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html ]:
"The Secret Service has vacated its command post inside Trump Tower in Manhattan following a dispute between the government and President Trump’s company over the terms of a lease for the space, according to two people familiar with the discussions. Previously, the Secret Service had stationed its command post—which houses supervisors and backup agents on standby in case of an emergency—in a Trump Tower unit one floor below the president’s apartment. But in early July, the post was relocated to a trailer on the sidewalk, more than 50 floors below, a distance that some security experts worry could hamper the agency that protects the president’s home and family."
While it’s not clear exactly where the talks broke down, people familiar with the matter told the Post “the sticking points included the price and other conditions of the lease,” and the statement from Trump Organization spokeswoman Amanda Miller seems to support that. “After much consideration, it was mutually determined that it would be more cost effective and logistically practical for the Secret Service to lease space elsewhere,” Miller said in an e-mail. In June, Bloomberg reported [ https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/donald-trump-net-worth-drops ] that the president’s net worth had taken a hit thanks to his three Manhattan office properties dropping in value, including Trump Tower. So you’ll have to forgive the people working on his behalf if they tried to make up some of the gaps by hosing the Secret Service on rent.

American Muslims Are Now More Accepting Of Homosexuality Than White Evangelicals
Queer and Muslim Americans are both marginalized in America — making it crucial to form alliances.


People participate in the Transmarch in San Francisco on June 24, 2016.

Anti-Muslim activists often attempt to foment hatred against Muslims by claiming that Islam [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/this-american-muslim-journalist-is-actually-seeking-out-people-who-fear-him_us_595698e2e4b0da2c732353fa ] is inherently anti-queer [ http://www.npr.org/2017/06/10/532254891/march-against-sharia-planned-across-the-u-s ].
While homophobia certainly still exists in American Muslim communities, as a whole, American Muslims are slowly becoming more accepting of homosexuality.
And notably, they’re doing it at a faster rate than white evangelical Protestants.
A Pew Research Center survey [ http://www.pewforum.org/2017/07/26/political-and-social-views/pf_2017-06-26_muslimamericans-04new-06/ ] conducted this year found that 52 percent of U.S. Muslims say homosexuality should be accepted by society. In contrast, only 34 percent of white evangelical Protestants believed in 2016 that homosexuality should be accepted by society.
The rate at which white evangelicals are shifting their views is slower than the rate for Muslims. White evangelicals shifted their views by 11 percentage points between 2006 and 2016. Muslims’ acceptance of homosexuality shot up by 25 percent between 2007 and 2017.

Mueller now investigating Donald Trump Jr.'s Russia meeting

Donald Trump Jr. on Fox News on July 11, 2017.
July 18, 2017 Updated July 19, 2017
WASHINGTON – Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is now reviewing Donald Trump Jr.'s 2016 meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer who offered damaging information related to Hillary Clinton's campaign, a lawyer for one of the participants said Tuesday.
New York attorney Scott Balber told USA TODAY that Ike Kaveladze, identified as the eighth party to last year's meeting involving Trump Jr., former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and White House adviser Jared Kushner, has vowed to submit to questioning by Mueller's investigators.
"Mr. Kaveladze intends to fully cooperate," Balber said, adding that a representative of Mueller's team contacted his office Saturday as new details of Trump Jr.'s meeting with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya continued to emerge.
Mueller and multiple congressional committees are investigating possible collusion between Trump associates and Russians seeking to interfere in the presidential election.
Although Trump Jr. initially said he took the meeting to discuss the U.S. adoption of Russian children, he later acknowledged seeking damaging information about his father's opponent Hillary Clinton.

Trump dictated son’s misleading statement on meeting with Russian lawyer

President-elect Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. at a news conference at Trump Tower in New York on Jan. 11, 2017.
July 31, 2017
On the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Germany last month, President Trump’s advisers discussed how to respond to a new revelation that Trump’s oldest son had met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign — a disclosure the advisers knew carried political and potentially legal peril.
The strategy, the advisers agreed, should be for Donald Trump Jr. to release a statement to get ahead of the story. They wanted to be truthful, so their account couldn’t be repudiated later if the full details emerged.
But within hours, at the president’s direction, the plan changed.
Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said he and the Russian lawyer had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children” when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared a story, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.”
The claims were later shown to be misleading.
Over the next three days, multiple accounts of the meeting were provided to the media as public pressure mounted, with Trump Jr. ultimately acknowledging that he had accepted the meeting after receiving an email [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/07/11/donald-trump-jr-s-emails-about-meeting-a-russian-government-attorney-annotated/ ] promising damaging information about Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help his father’s campaign.
The extent of the president’s personal intervention in his son’s response, the details of which have not previously been reported, adds to a series of actions that Trump has taken that some advisers fear could place him and some members of his inner circle in legal jeopardy.
As Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III investigates potential obstruction of justice as part of his broader probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, these advisers worry that the president’s direct involvement leaves him needlessly vulnerable to allegations of a coverup.
“This was ... unnecessary,” said one of the president’s advisers, who like most other people interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations. “Now someone can claim he’s the one who attempted to mislead. Somebody can argue the president is saying he doesn’t want you to say the whole truth.”

Trump had undisclosed hour-long meeting with Putin at G-20 summit
July 18, 2017
After his much-publicized two-and-a-quarter-hour meeting early this month with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin at the Group of 20 summit in Germany, President Trump chatted informally with the Russian leader for up to an additional hour later the same day.
The second meeting, undisclosed at the time, took place at a dinner for G-20 leaders, a senior administration official said. At some point during the meal, Trump left his own seat to occupy a chair next to Putin. Trump approached alone, and Putin was attended only by his official interpreter.
In a statement issued Tuesday night after published reports of the conversation, the White House said that “there was no ‘second meeting’ between President Trump and President Putin, just a brief conversation at the end of a dinner. The insinuation that the White House has tried to ‘hide’ a second meeting,” it said, “is false, malicious and absurd.”
“All the leaders” circulated around the room throughout the dinner, and “President Trump spoke with many leaders,” the statement said. “As the dinner was concluding,” it said, Trump spoke “briefly” with Putin, who was seated next to first lady Melania Trump.
The dinner conversation with Putin was first reported Monday by Ian Bremmer, president of the New York-based Eurasia Group, in a newsletter to group clients. Bremmer said the meeting began “halfway” into the meal and lasted “roughly an hour.” The senior administration official said it began with the dessert course, but did not comment on its length.
Pool reporters covering Trump noted that his and Putin’s motorcades were among the last to leave the event, departing within minutes of each other just before midnight.
Trump lashed out at the media for reporting on his undisclosed meeting with Putin, saying the “fake news” was “sick” and “dishonest.”
But the president distorted what news outlets, including The Washington Post, had reported, saying the story was about a “secret dinner” when in fact it was reported as an undisclosed meeting with Putin at a dinner of the G-20 leaders and their spouses. Trump also incorrectly stated that journalists knew about his meeting with Putin; in fact, they did not until Tuesday, when the White House confirmed that the two presidents met during the dinner.
In the first of two tweets, Trump wrote [ https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/887475373981696000 ]: “Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is ‘sick.’ All G 20 leaders, and spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany. Press knew!”
Trump then tweeted [ https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/887477071160762369 ], “The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest! Even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in Germany is made to look sinister!”
The dinner encounter appeared to underscore the extent to which Trump was eager throughout the summit to cultivate a friendship with Putin. During last year’s election campaign, he spoke admiringly of the Russian leader and at times seemed captivated by him.
Meeting each other face-to-face for the first time at the Hamburg summit, the two presidents seemed to have a chemistry in their more formal bilateral session, evidenced by the fact that, despite being scheduled for 35 minutes, it continued for more than two hours.
But Trump’s newly revealed conversation with Putin at the G-20 dinner is likely to stoke criticism — including perhaps from some fellow Republicans in Congress — that he is too cozy with the leader of a major U.S. adversary.
Putin’s official interpreter provided the only Russian-English interpretation, the White House statement said, because the president was seated next to the wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “Each couple was allowed one translator,” it said. “The American translator accompanying President Trump spoke Japanese.”
The only version of the conversation provided to White House aides was that given by Trump himself, said the administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity before the White House statement was issued. Reporters traveling with the White House were not informed during the trip, and there was no formal readout of the chat.
The official Trump-Putin meeting, earlier in the day, led to confusion over whether Trump agreed, as Putin later implied, to accept the Kremlin’s denial of any wrongdoing regarding interference in last year’s election.

Russia’s Lavrov Says Trump May Have Met Putin More Times
Jul 21 2017
MOSCOW — President Donald Trump may have held more meetings with Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit earlier this month, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday — but he shrugged off the importance of the encounters.
“They might have met even much more than just three times,” he told NBC News’ Keir Simmons in an exclusive interview, dismissing speculation about the leaders' meetings.
"Maybe they went to the toilet together," he joked.
Asked whether the two presidents had other conversations or met in the corridors of the G-20 meeting, Lavrov used the analogy of children mingling at a kindergarten.
“When you are bought by your parents to a kindergarten do you mix with the people who are waiting in the same room to start going to a classroom?” he asked.
He added: "I remember when I was in that position I did spend five or ten minutes in the kindergarten before they brought us to the classroom.”

Does Trump actually know what happened last November?

President Trump speaks on the phone with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Jan. 28.
August 3, 2017
It’s both a truism and a running joke that President Trump is unusually obsessed with the results of the 2016 election. He generally mentions the election about halfway through [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/07/21/trump-can-usually-make-it-about-a-third-of-the-way-through-an-interview-without-mentioning-hillary-clinton/ ] any given interview. Most memorably, he interrupted an interview with Reuters [ http://af.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idAFKBN17U0C6 ] in April to pass out maps of the results.
“Here, you can take that, that’s the final map of the numbers,” he said. “It’s pretty good, right? The red is obviously us.”
And yet, despite that intense focus on what happened last year, Trump often gets pretty obvious specifics wrong. How many electoral votes he won. Which states. What demographic groups. Sometimes, it’s clear that Trump’s presentations of the results are just Trump-style exaggerations. Sometimes, it’s not clear what’s going on.
On Thursday, The Post published [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/australia-mexico-transcripts/ ] the transcripts of two calls between Trump and the leaders of Mexico and Australia in January. In those calls, he makes a number of claims that are simply untrue — and often in baffling ways.
[...]
But, back to the Peña Nieto call.
