I count at least 20 times as president Trump has responded to his own little verbal slip by pretending it wasn't a slip. Other than CJ and DJ, this one is my favourite: https://t.co/GJBScDmTYx — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

“He goes by DJ, and CJ.” “Human struggling, and smuggling.” For the president who hates being laughed at and would rather start a fight than apologize, "Tim Apple" was only the latest tiny error too big to admit it was an error: https://t.co/a63bdkqBnM — PolitiTweet.org

Lighthizer suggests Trump won’t lift his steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada without replacing them with quotas or other protection; though Trump used to suggest they’d come off if there was a NAFTA deal, he now thinks they’re “very successful” as policy: https://t.co/mVafIHBawY — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Canada, and many Republican members of Congress, do not want quotas either. But Lighthizer says the tariffs "are working," that the "basic integrity" of the tariff program needs to be maintained, and that a quota set at the right level is not a problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Lighthizer, being pushed on the steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico, says “my view is that we have to have a solution with Canada and Mexico that protects the president’s basic program” - finding "a sweet spot," possibly with quotas replacing the tariffs. — PolitiTweet.org

@DonaldTLewis It’s 20 states, not 30. He says he has that. — PolitiTweet.org

@4everNeverTrump Yes. It’s not a formal exemption but sets the threshold so high that it’s basically an exemption. — PolitiTweet.org

Portman urges Trump not to go through with tariffs on auto imports, saying that'd make it extra-hard for Canada and Mexico to ratify USMCA. Lighthizer notes that the US has signed a deal that essentially exempts Canada and Mexico from any potential auto tariffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, a businessman running on a universal basic income, says he has passed the donor threshold to qualify for the first primary debate, with "over 66,000 unique donors." The party requires 65,000 donors. — PolitiTweet.org

Lighthizer said he wants to get the USMCA to Congress "as soon as we can." He didn't offer a specific time estimate in response to Cornyn's non-question. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

At a Senate hearing, Sen. John Cornyn asks US Trade Rep Bob Lighthizer to send Congress a version of the USMCA that "we can pass," urging him to keep working with members. Lighthizer says they're working hard, and “I think it’s the best trade agreement we’ve ever negotiated.” — PolitiTweet.org

Almost always, the answer to "why is the president talking about this topic this morning" is "as @MattGertz demonstrates, he is watching Fox and Friends." https://t.co/rNCU5B2jSA — PolitiTweet.org

The clarification - "Rather same guy who operated at the org" - suggests that ex-Right to Rise man Luke Thompson, who published allegations of impropriety about her, was either the guy who got the big FEC fine or the guy "filing" the ethics complaints. He is neither. — PolitiTweet.org

@froomkin Yeah, for sure. I personally think deleting is the only way to go - a thorough correction tweet and then a deletion of the erroneous original. — PolitiTweet.org

Ocasio-Cortez has offered this semi-clarification below, but incorrect initial tweet is still up, with 1,200 retweets to 20 for the clarification, and the clarification has its own problems. https://t.co/C3D3I18jKC — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This is not true. Right to Rise, the pro-Jeb Bush Super PAC, got hit with the big fine. Three other conservative groups (at least) have filed complaints against Ocasio-Cortez, but Right to Rise isn't one of them. https://t.co/5QTsl7rTTU — PolitiTweet.org
