The South had nearly caught up economically with its northern neighbors by the 2009, but the policies that drove the acceleration—low wages & low taxes—have since fueled a reversal. ⁦@sharonmnunn⁩ explains in her 🔥⚡️💥 ⁦@WSJ⁩ swan song: https://t.co/VG6bAlFwZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s adult children joined him on his trip to Buckingham Palace, his golf course in Ireland and at the D-Day ceremony in FR, where Don Jr. & Eric sat in the 2nd row while some senior White House staffers initially were asked to watch from the sidelines https://t.co/2WMU6Hs1U2 https://t.co/XQCmlAOwkY — PolitiTweet.org

The turmoil in EU—some of the same nationalist dynamics that thrust Trump into power—eased the pressure of his latest trip. No post-Brexit deal would be struck in May’s final days, and Macron focused on D-Day pomp and not policy disagreements with POTUS. https://t.co/2WMU6Hs1U2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's latest trip abroad is a chance to mark the passage of time, as the first foreign leader he met as POTUS steps down. His enthusiasm during the trip will either prove to be a moment out of time, or the spark to forge tighter bonds. https://t.co/2WMU6Hs1U2 https://t.co/QUwAx4Vw9M — PolitiTweet.org

At a time of political upheaval across the EU, it was President Trump who was the relative picture of stability—both diplomatically & politically—as he skipped back and forth across the English Channel this week. My wrap-up of POTUS's latest trip abroad: https://t.co/2WMU6Hs1U2 — PolitiTweet.org

The scene in Normandy where the D-Day anniversary ceremony will play out soon. Quite a scene, as D-Day vets are getting applause and thank-you’d wherever they turn under a gorgeous clear blue sky https://t.co/xrYFYORf1L https://t.co/IbKXLv072b — PolitiTweet.org

When Trump & May first met, their clumsy handshake foreshadowed an awkward diplomatic rapport to come. When she extended her hand as on Tuesday as their official relationship came to a close, Trump didn’t want to let go. My latest from London: https://t.co/nweKhzblVC — PolitiTweet.org

The run-up to Trump’s Mexico tariffs: VP was in Canada, his top economic adviser is recovering from surgery, his Secretary of State is out of the country, his senior adviser who worked on Mexico issues was in Israel — and his top trade adviser was opposed. https://t.co/hMlOZUUfnh — PolitiTweet.org
