Pompeo chides Lavrov on election interference, but Trump kept his own meeting with Russian foreign minister closed to press. Similarly, Trump has let Pence play bad cop on China human rights abuses, while Trump has continued to court Xi on trade. https://t.co/0vTSjcoySg — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight's event is a political campaign rally and the trip is supposed to be paid for, at least in part, by the Trump campaign. Announcements from a podium (stale or not) are presumably official WH events during which the president is supposed to be performing his public duties. — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewFeinberg I asked the why the Trump admin pushed to cancel a UN forum today (International Human Rights day) on North Korea's human rights abuses. Admin official said UN Amb. Kelly Craft has talked about human rights a lot and the issue will be handled in non-proliferation event tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that this WH arranged call was on background just days after Trump denounced any stories with anonymous officials was one of many hypocrisies involved in this call. — PolitiTweet.org

.@AndrewFeinberg asks officials on WH background call announcing sanctions on regimes that kill journalists to categorically state that journalists are not enemies of the people. Treasury official obliges: "We do not agree that journalists are the enemy of the people." — PolitiTweet.org

This young man was invited to a White House roundtable on school choice but he had to sit there as Trump denounced the FBI's Russia investigation as an attempted "overthrow of government"--even though IG called probe legitimate and not political. https://t.co/WdaYLudGnx — PolitiTweet.org

Analysts say Kim Jong Un appears to have a made a decision on next steps ahead of year-end deadline for progress on nuke talks with no breakthroughs in sight. @simondenyer https://t.co/J0knc2M2a6 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's remarks on North Korea during one of his impromptu pressers at NATO yesterday were interpreted as "sanguine" in a WaPo account. But Pyongyang heard it differently, lashing out at Trump saying military option still on table if necessary. https://t.co/Gd4SsVPIel — PolitiTweet.org

Prof. Karlan says she was so busy scouring impeachment testimony transcripts over Thanksgiving that "I ate a turkey that came to us in the mail already cooked." — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote two weeks ago about how Trump, in contrast to the public servants testifying in impeachment probe, conflates himself with the national interest: "For him, history begins and ends with Donald Trump...His view is, ‘I am the state.’" https://t.co/4z0yG3LHQU — PolitiTweet.org

Seems plausible given audio also catches Trudeau taking about Doral. And it was certainly a stunning reversal for Trump to announce Camp David given his aides had called it a miserable site for G7. — PolitiTweet.org

Second summit to end on sour note between Trump and Trudeau. In 2018 Trump lashed out at him by tweet while flying out of G7 in Canada after Trudeau offered mild public criticism. Trump then withdrew US support for a G7 communique as he flew to meet Kim Jong Un. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump keeps saying everyone wants to do a deal with him even when the opposing parties have flatly contradicted him, per @ToluseO Allows Trump to create the illusion that he's in control and if a deal falls through it's only because he rejected it... https://t.co/xYeyFfJ2YL — PolitiTweet.org
