										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an interview with the Associated Press on Friday, President Donald Trump promised that he would be releasing a tax reform plan with “massive” tax cuts for businesses and individuals as early as next week.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The tax cuts for both businesses and individuals will be &#8220;bigger I believe than any tax cut ever,” according to the president, and can be expected “Wednesday or shortly thereafter.”</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“We’ll be having a big announcement on Wednesday having to do with tax reform. The process has begun long ago, but it really formally begins on Wednesday,” Trump said Friday afternoon at the Treasury Department.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The president then pointed to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and said, “so, go do it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“I will, Mr. President,” Mnuchin responded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Next Saturday will mark Trump’s 100th day in office, and it is expected that the administration will attempt to secure some big wins before the date approaches.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The president gave little details of what the reform will contain, but during his campaign Trump proposed a top individual tax rate of 33% &#8212; which is over 6 points lower than the current ceiling of 39.6%. He also pledged to cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Earlier in the week, Mnuchin indicated that the new tax plan would contain three or four tax brackets, instead of the seven that exist currently. He also claimed there would be a “streamlined” tax system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Fundamentally, fewer brackets, less deductions, simpler tax code,” Mnuchin said at a DC event sponsored by the Institute of International Finance. “This will be the most significant change to the tax code since Reagan.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Responding to Friday’s announcement from Trump, the Dow Jones industrial average jumped over 30 points from 20,541 to 20,572 as of  2:07 p.m. ET, Business Insider </span><a href="https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/04/21/trump-says-his-massive-tax-plan-is-coming-next-week/22049781/"><span style="font-weight: 400">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin, who many have speculated was behind stand down orders to police during recent riots in the city, is a member of the Facebook group of far left militant organization, By Any Means Necessary (BAMN).</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Wait, WHAT!? The mayor of Berkeley is a member of BAMN? Is that why we were arrested the moment we went near their leader Felarca? <a href="https://t.co/nIjqPCVtwN">pic.twitter.com/nIjqPCVtwN</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Arreguin also appears to be Facebook friends with Yvette Falarco, a BAMN organizer and Berkeley middle school teacher with a long history of <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=4&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiio-HIobbTAhWCCMAKHeAEAVUQFgg5MAM&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Fmilo%2F2017%2F02%2F14%2Fbamn-organizer-yvette-felarca-fascist-milo-is-starting-movement-of-genocide-must-be-stopped%2F&amp;usg=AFQjCNE82NRUZtkruk27E_S6J9beUYDi1Q&amp;sig2=nhLtjS2JX-E82JQqLRkqAg">instigating violence</a>.</p>

<p>&mdash; TX Intense TV  ?? (@TxIntenseRadio) <a href="https://twitter.com/TxIntenseRadio/status/855497687034208256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 21, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">BAMN was named </span><a href="https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/direct-action-foia-document"><span style="font-weight: 400">by the FBI</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> in 2005 as thought to be involved in domestic terrorist activities, and have boasted that they  were the “organizers of Berkeley’s shutdown of white neo-fascist Milo Yiannopoulos.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">BAMN is perhaps best known, however, for a 2016 incident in which they showed up to a rally held by the white-nationalist Traditionalist Workers Party outside the California state capitol building in Sacramento. The militant group was confrontational with the white-nationalists within minutes of arrival, and ten people were stabbed and hospitalized in a bloody fight. Police have verified through videos taken by members of the group, news organizations, and bystanders, that BAMN initiated the violence.</span></p>
<p>Falarco was caught on camera at the event repeatedly punching a man in the stomach and throwing him to the ground.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ou_XUHgnNNI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Arreguin, a far-left liberal, made headlines in February for his tweets prior to BAMN organizing a riot to prevent right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking at the city’s University of California campus.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Using speech to silence marginalized communities and promote bigotry is unacceptable. Hate speech isn&#8217;t welcome in our community,” Arreguin had tweeted.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The mayor also referred to Yiannopoulos as a “white supremacist,” and was forced to issue an “apology.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“I consider much of what Mr. Yiannopoulos says to be hateful. But I regret and apologize for the white national label,” Arreguin tweeted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Hours after his tweet, supporters of President Donald Trump who hoped to listen to Yiannopoulos speak were under a violent attack. People were assaulted with pipes, a generator-powered spotlight was firebombed, and looters destroyed several businesses in the area including a Starbucks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The rioters smashed windows, spray painted violent messages all over the area — including “Kill Trump” — and began committing arsons. It was estimated that the rioters caused $100,000 in damage to the MLK Student Union, and $400,000 to $500,000 in damage to the area surrounding the university.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">It was immediately alleged that the mayor had ordered the police to stand down and allow the violence and destruction.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Arreguin denied the accusations, saying that the police strategy was ordered by the department, not him. “They did an excellent job in preventing further risk to safety,” he added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">It was alleged by journalist and author Mike Cernovich, who broke the Susan Rice scandal as well as impending Syria strikes, that the FBI was investigating Arreguin role in the stand down.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Civil Rights section of FBI has opened an investigation into mayor <a href="https://twitter.com/JesseArreguin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JesseArreguin</a>, for inciting riots and ordering to police to stand down. <a href="https://t.co/uy5EbgcvSm">pic.twitter.com/uy5EbgcvSm</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Last weekend, violence and chaos </span><a href="http://bigleaguepolitics.com/violence-chaos-antifa-attacks-pro-trump-rally-berkeley/"><span style="font-weight: 400">erupted in the city</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> once again as anarchists in black bloc attire attempted to shut down a pro-free speech rally dubbed “Patriot’s Day.” The militant leftists, including BAMN, assaulted the free-speech activists with bottles, M80s, and other instruments of riots.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“At first police were doing a good job keeping the crowd divided, then antifa exited the park and went into the street,” journalist Tim Pool told <a href="http://bigleaguepolitics.com/battle-berkeley-journalists-organizers-disagree-police-tactics/">Big League Politics</a> of the police response during the event, “but the police just stayed in the park, so huge fights broke out and there were no police at all.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Liberal Mother Jones reporter Shane Bauer also confronted several officers to ask why they were not intervening to stop the violence. One of the officers he confronted shrugged, shook his head, and responded that “would be a good question for the chief of police.”</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I ask a cop why they&#39;ve been hanging back as a brawl is happening half a block away in Berkeley. &quot;I&#39;m not at liberty to discuss my tactics.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/teGEYBV1ho">pic.twitter.com/teGEYBV1ho</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Patriot’s Day rally was organized in response to violent attacks by antifa at a “March 4 Trump” in the city on March 4. Multiple Trump supporters were injured at the event, including an elderly man who was assaulted and pepper sprayed by the militant left.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">We have reached out to Arreguin’s office about his possible interactions and involvement with BAMN. We will update this story if a response is provided.</span></p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An unhinged Missouri School of Journalism professor has declared that the National Rifle Association is more dangerous than ISIS.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In an article published in the <a href="http://www.columbiamissourian.com/opinion/local_columnists/george-kennedy-the-nra-s-influence-is-a-danger-to/article_f4c9ec02-252b-11e7-95d9-d73112895e9c.html">Missourian</a>, Professor George Kennedy compared ISIS tactics of killing people, often by beheading or suicide bombing to lobbying politicians.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“What makes ISIS so feared is its willingness to kill in pursuit of its goal of creating a fundamentalist caliphate,” Kennedy wrote. “What makes the NRA so feared is its willingness to spend heavily and campaign aggressively in pursuit of its goal of removing all restrictions on the possession and use of firearms just about anywhere by just about anyone.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The professor, who is paid to educate, continues on to answer the question of which organization is the greater threat to the safety of Americans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Now, most rational human beings would not even see a need for a list to know that a terror organization is more dangerous than a group aiming to protect the Second Amendment, but Kennedy is on another level.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Kennedy asserts that the average number of Americans killed per year is nine, ignoring the surge in mass tragedies such as the Pulse Nightclub shooting and San Bernardino attacks. He then blames the NRA for every murder in America, citing 11,737 “Americans killed by other Americans.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Perhaps realizing midway through his article that he sounds like a lunatic, Kennedy acknowledges what most readers were surely thinking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Now, you might object that it isn’t fair to hold the NRA responsible for every misuse of a firearm. You might argue that the pro-gun passion of our politicians, especially but not only the Republicans, can’t be attributed altogether to the clout of the NRA,” Kennedy wrote. “You would be correct. There’s plenty of blame to go around.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Still, Kennedy continues his bizarre piece by claiming that “there is no denying that the NRA is Missouri’s and the nation’s most vociferous, most generous to its friends and most vindictive to its enemies advocate of a free-fire zone for guns of all types in all places.” Ultimately, he concludes that the NRA is a “danger to us all,” after downplaying the threat of Islamic terrorism.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made a rare public appearance on Thursday evening to come out and push for war.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Clinton on Assad: &quot;I really believe that should&#39;ve and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from&#8230;bombing innocent people&quot; <a href="https://t.co/34f0qD6sE5">pic.twitter.com/34f0qD6sE5</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Steve Kopack (@SteveKopack) <a href="https://twitter.com/SteveKopack/status/850106481605300226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 6, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The former Secretary of State called for intervention while she was speaking at the Women of the World Summit in New York, saying that the US should target Syrian airfields.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;That air force is the cause of most of the civilian deaths, as we have seen over the years and as we saw again in the last few days,&#8221; Clinton said. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;I really believe that we should have — and still should — take out his airfields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them,” the woman who has been stunningly defeated in two elections stated.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Clinton is now perfectly aligned with Iraq War architect Bill Kristol and neoconservatives such as John McCain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The chemical attack has raised many eyebrows, as it came just days after the Trump administration stated that Syrians should decide who is running their country.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“It makes no sense, even if you were totally separate from this and take no sides of this and you were just an analyst, it doesn’t make sense for Assad under these conditions to all of the sudden use poison gasses. I think it’s zero chance that he would have done this deliberately,” former Texas congressman Ron Paul said on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie has also been outspoken about how the attack would not serve Assad’s interests.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://wearechange.org/cnn-reporter-dumbfounded-congressman-questions-syria-attack/">[Related: CNN Reporter Dumbfounded After Congressman Questions Syria Attack]</a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Let me ask you this: Who benefits? Who benefits, if chemical weapons were used and America weighs in on the side of the rebels, or wades into a war against Assad?” Massie said in an interview on CNN. “How does Assad benefit from that?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Many of Trump’s most prominent supporters on social media have also been campaigning and urging the president to ignore calls for intervention.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">A California high school student was suspended and barred from participating in his graduation for wearing a hat supporting </span><span style="font-weight: 400">I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) on campus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to a report from the </span><a href="http://www.yaf.org/news/conservative-student-barred-graduation-wearing-ice-hat/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Young America’s Foundation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, Jacob Labosky was following the rules and removing his hat when entering classes where they are banned by the Bellarmine College Preparatory High School in San Jose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The first day that Labosky wore that hat he reportedly had no problems. On the second day, however, things took a turn.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Labosky says that he was cornered by members of the Latino Student Union who were wearing anti-Trump shirts, including one that said “Deport Trump.” Ironically, considering their glaring disdain for the president, they began shouting and swearing at their fellow student for supporting the law enforcement agency.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Later, one of the student’s reportedly stole Labosky’s hat, and brought it to the Assistant Dean of Students at Bellarmine. Instead of punishing the student for stealing another teen’s property, Labosky was yanked from class and called “racist,” “idiot,” “ignorant,” and “gutless,” YAF also reported that he was told he wore the hat “trying to incite fear in these kids.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Labosky says he was sent home by the private, all-male school “for others to recover and for his own safety.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Infuriated that his First Amendment rights were trampled, the student took a snapchat photo and urged others to “support the agencies that keep us safe and protect our freedoms, i.e. not just ICE.”</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-73078 size-large" src="https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gf-1-337x600.jpg" alt="" width="337" height="600" srcset="https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gf-1-337x600.jpg 337w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gf-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gf-1-177x315.jpg 177w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gf-1-610x1085.jpg 610w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gf-1.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Despite the <em>mostly</em> positive message, Bellarmine’s administration was outraged when they learned of his SnapChat post, and attempted to expel him from the school, according to the conservative youth organization.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Labosky and his mother appealed the disproportionate reaction, and were successful in reducing his punishment to a suspension,” YAF reported. “Still, this means Labosky cannot attend class on campus, must complete his course work at home, and will not be allowed to walk at graduation later this spring.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Following the incident, Labosky claims to have been subject to a string of harassment, including someone calling the University of Portland, which he is set to attend, and telling them that he had been expelled.</span></p>
<p>We Are Change has reached out to Bellarmine College Preparatory High School in an attempt to verify YAF&#8217;s report, but had not received a response by the time of publishing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Donald Trump’s deputy assistant Sebastian Gorka has called Watergate “a little spat in the sandbox in the kindergarten,” compared to Susan Rice’s unmasking of Trump campaign officials.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Gorka also stated that with all the strange circumstances leading up to the information being unmasked, and some ultimately leaked, that there is “not just smoke,” but actual fire.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Former National Security Adviser Rice has denied that the Obama administration abused intelligence surveillance for political purposes, but Gorka does not seem to believe her claims.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Using the authority that she had as national security advisor to unmask individuals, and then adding to it [the fact that] eight days before the inauguration, they said ‘we’re going to just be able to share this incredibly sensitive intelligence intercepts with thousands more people across government,’” Gorka stated during an interview with “Hannity,” on Fox News, “you put all these pieces together and you see it’s not just smoke, there’s actually flames behind the smoke.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">During the final days of the Obama administration, they gave the National Security Agency power to be able to share globally intercepted personal communications with every other intelligence agency. The move granted thousands more people access to raw data files before privacy protections are put in place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Despite his opinion that there was likely wrongdoing, Gorka told Hannity that they will allow the situation to play out through Congress, without going on a witch hunt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Look, the president has been explicit here, Sean,” Gorka said. “We’re going to allow the mandated authorities — the congressional committees to do their work. We’re not going to do witch hunts. That’s what the left radical, progressive political elite does with their enemies. So, we’re going to let the system deal with this as it should.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Senator Rand Paul has been vocal about demanding Rice be subject to a full investigation and compelled to testify under oath.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Gorka also explained that if these conversations were deliberately unmasked for political gain, we are in dangerous waters as it is the “weaponizing intelligence.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“You had a former operative talk about how it’s not rocket science to engineer a network analysis of telephone calls, who is calling who. If you want to attack me or Steve Bannon or Steve Miller or Kellyanne Conway, you say, ‘Oh, they regularly call their nephew in Canada. Well, that’s a foreigner. I don’t need the same kind of intelligence authorities to intercept a foreign call. Then you start to find a way to unmask all of these conversations so that you can make political profit. That’s a very, very tenable theory. And that’s the kind of thing we have to find out if it was really happening. Because if that’s the case, that is weaponizing intelligence for political purposes against your other party.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ultimately, Gorka asserted that </span><span style="font-weight: 400">“losing 14 minutes of audiotape in comparison to this is a little spat in the sandbox in the kindergarten.”</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Dutch drugstore chain has issued an apology after accidentally selling children’s coloring books featuring a color-by-number image of Adolf Hitler giving a Nazi salute.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The depiction was complete with a red swastika armband.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Kruidvat, the drugstore chain, issued an apology on their website and asserted that they have pulled all the remaining coloring books from their shelves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The coloring book publisher has also issued a statement explaining that they are investigating how the image ended up in the book, &#8220;despite various checks of the content.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">It is unknown how many of the coloring books were sold to families looking for a child-friendly activity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In 2009, the US Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) also faced backlash after publishing a downloadable coloring book about the terrorist attack on New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The book was published in 2003, but went largely unnoticed until a media frenzy in 2009.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The book was titled “A Scary Thing That Happened,” and featured one of the buildings on fire as another plane approached the second tower. The images were drawn by a 68-year-old grandmother in Minnesota.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">On the 12th page of the coloring book, the image of an exploding building and an airplane about to crash is depicted three times: through a window, on a television screen and in a newspaper.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;You might hear about it again and again on the TV or radio or read about it in the newspaper,&#8221; the page reads.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Those who produced the book claimed that it was an attempt at helping children make sense of a horrific disaster.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Amid public outrage, FEMA ended up pulling the coloring book offline.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the globalist neoconservatives and former “anti-war” liberals bang the drums of war with Syria, President Donald Trump appeared to change his previously anti-intervention tone on Wednesday &#8212; much to the dismay of many of his supporters.</p>
<p>For the past four years, Trump has repeatedly demanded that the US stay out of Syria, so&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Here is a timeline of all of his tweets containing the word &#8220;Syria&#8221; since May, 2013:</strong></p>
<p>On May 27, 2013, five days after the US Senate panel backed arming the rebels, Trump tweeted a question as to why Senator John McCain was in Syria &#8212; as well as what became his campaign slogan.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Why is Senator John McCain in Syria visiting with the rebels- MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!</p>
<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/339150039618314243?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 27, 2013</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Two days later, on May 29, 2013, Trump tweeted, “Obama wants to unilaterally put a no-fly zone in Syria to protect Al Qaeda Islamists,” and stated that “Syria is NOT our problem.”</p>

<p>Saturday, September 7, 2013, Trump referred to the civil war as a “politician’s war.”</p>

<p>Again, urging Obama to stay out of Syria, telling him to “save your &#8220;powder&#8221; for another (and more important) day!</p>

<p>That Monday, September 9, 2013, the day after rebels, including al-Nusra Front, took control of the historic Christian town of Maalula, Trump continued his rants that we need to stay out and focus on making the US strong and great again.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Continuing to show his anti-needless war stance, he again brought up the failings of the Iraq War.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>At this point, Trump backed off his quest to stay out of Syria, not tweeting the name of the nation again until June 26, 2014. This was the day after the Syrian Air Force killed at least 57 civilians by bombing the Islamic State in Iraq.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p>On August 25, 2014, Trump called it “ironic” that “we will now be helping Syria and Iran by attacking ISIS.” The day before, ISIS forces had captured the Tabqa airbase from the Syrian military.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p>On November 4, 2015, Trump quoted Sean Hannity’s tweet about how the US needs to be less predictable when it comes to Syria.</p>

<p>Getting to the current year, on January 15, he tweeted about the “red line” and “fake news.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>On February 12, after his executive order impacting immigration from seven nations, including Syria, Trump tweeted that 72% of refugees came to America from those countries.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">72% of refugees admitted into U.S. (2/3 -2/11) during COURT BREAKDOWN are from 7 countries: SYRIA, IRAQ, SOMALIA, IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA &amp; YEMEN</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>On April 5, 2017, following a chemical attack that reportedly killed at least 72 people, Trump seemed to change his tune, calling the act an &#8220;affront to humanity&#8221; and asserting that his views on “Syria and the Assad regime have changed.”</p>
<p>Trump refused to say what he would do in response, however, again ridiculing the Obama administration and the military for announcing ahead of time that they intended to recapture Mosul.</p>
<p>Many others have questioned whether or not this was actually the act of another group, like the rebels. It appears questionable that Assad would commit such an atrocity on his own people after the White House had asserted their only goal in Syria was to combat Islamic terrorism, and not enact regime change.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“It makes no sense, even if you were totally separate from this and take no sides of this and you were just an analyst, it doesn’t make sense for Assad under these conditions to all of the sudden use poison gasses.

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During Wednesday’s Liberty Report, Ron Paul asserted that he believes there is “zero chance” that the chemical attack in Syria was conducted by Bashar al-Assad.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Just days after the US Administration changed course on Syrian President Assad, saying he could stay, an alleged chemical weapon attack that killed dozens of civilians has been blamed on the Syrian government,” the description for the stream read. “Did Assad sign his own death warrant with such an attack&#8230;or does some other entity benefit?”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The former Texas congressman explained that the timing of the incident was strange, as things were going reasonably well in Syria given the conditions. He noted that Trump had allowed the Syrians to decide who should be running their country, and that peace talks were in the works and terror groups were “on the run.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“It looks like, maybe, somebody didn’t like that so there had to be an episode, and the blame now is we can’t let that happen because it looks like it might benefit Assad,” Paul asserted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Paul then referenced the 2013 incident, and the “red line.” He noted that neoconservatives have been “yelling and screaming,” including a portion of the administration, that Assad used poison gas on the Syrian people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity executive director Daniel McAdams chimed in at this point, stating that it was never proven that the attack was conducted by Assad, and that the UN’s Carla Del Ponte had stated the vicious assault was likely conducted by the rebels.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“It makes no sense, even if you were totally separate from this and take no sides of this and you were just an analyst, it doesn’t make sense for Assad under these conditions to all of the sudden use poison gasses. I think it’s zero chance that he would have done this deliberately,” Paul added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Paul asserted that his viewers need to decide what they stand for, urging them to consider the benefits of negotiation and diplomacy.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“If we give up on that, then we’re going to have the neoconservatives &#8212; epitomized by Bill Kristol, Cheney, McCain, and Lindsey Graham &#8212; they’re the ones who will be running it. I mean, in many ways they have a lot of influence, they’re closer to the insiders, they’re closer to the deep state,” Paul warned. “This may well be an example of what they can do to reverse any attempt to come up with a peaceful solution.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Paul stated that is why the message of non interventionism, minding our own business, and having a strong national defense to protect liberty at home is so important.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“That is the policy that must be used if we are determined to promote the cause of peace and prosperity,” Paul concluded.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice is denying that the Obama administration abused intelligence surveillance for political purposes, but Senator Rand Paul is now calling for a full investigation and for her to testify under oath.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">On Sunday, it was revealed by author and journalist Mike Cernovich that Rice was behind the unmasking of members of the Trump campaign prior to the election.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“It is becoming clear that Rice ‘unmasked’ US citizens, including the Trump campaign and others. She is a White House political employee and we need to get to the bottom of who she did this to, why, and who else knew about it. She needs to be under full investigation and testify under oath,” Paul’s chief strategist, Doug Stafford, told Sputnik News.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">When asked whether he believes Rice’s claim that the Obama administration did not abuse intelligence surveillance for political purposes, Stafford simply replied, “no.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Paul also asserted on Monday that he believes that what the intelligence community did could be considered wiretapping </span><span style="font-weight: 400">– </span><span style="font-weight: 400">as President Donald Trump infamously alleged.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“I think she ought to testify under oath on this. I think she should be asked under oath, did she reveal it to The Washington Post,” Paul told the Hill. “I think they were illegally basically using an espionage tool to eavesdrop or wiretap </span><span style="font-weight: 400">– </span><span style="font-weight: 400">if you want to use the word generally </span><span style="font-weight: 400">– </span><span style="font-weight: 400">on the Trump campaign.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Kentucky senator also asserted that these revelations are further proof that the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) needs to be reformed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Meanwhile, Rice made her first comments since the explosive reports in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“The allegation is that somehow, Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes,” Rice asserted. “That’s absolutely false. Let me explain how this works. I was the national security adviser. My job is to protect the American people and the security of our country. That’s the same as the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the CIA director.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Rice also denied any involvement in leaking information that was contained in the unmasked phone calls to the media. Many have noted that she is married to ABC News Executive Producer Ian Cameron, however.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“I leaked nothing to nobody,” Rice said, laughing, “and never have and never would.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The White House seems unconvinced however, if Director of Social Media Dan Scavino’s tweet following the interview is any indication. He wrote, “lyin&#8217;, leakin&#8217; Susan Rice stammered through her soft ball interview with Dem PR person Andrea Mitchell.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Appearing on PBS Newshour in March, Rice was asked about Trump and his team being caught up in incidental intelligence collection, and she denied having any knowledge of it even happening.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;I know nothing about this,&#8221; Rice said. &#8220;I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that account today.&#8221;</span></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new batch of Hillary Clinton emails released on Wednesday by Judicial Watch reveals more classified information sent over her private server &#8212; and a request for longtime aide Huma Abedin to plan Bill and the former Secretary of State’s funerals.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The emails were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed against the State Department after they failed to respond to a request by the conservative government accountability organization. Judicial Watch had been seeking “all emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013 using a non-’state.gov’ email address.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Beyond revealing more instances of classified information being </span><a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/new-huma-abedin-emails-reveal-additional-instances-clinton-sending-classified-information-unsecured-emails-special-favors-clinton-donors/"><span style="font-weight: 400">mishandled</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, the 29 previously unreleased emails also appear to show more instances of donors being granted special access to Clinton, who was serving as Secretary of State at the time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In an </span><a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-huma-production-16-00684-pg-247/"><span style="font-weight: 400">email</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> from 2010, ambassador and Clinton friend Capricia Marshall told Huma Abedin, Doug Band and Cheryl Mills that “every time someone significant passes, I am flooded with requests” regarding the Clintons’ funeral arrangements.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-72070 aligncenter" src="https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kellyanne-400x271.png" alt="" width="400" height="271" srcset="https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kellyanne-400x271.png 400w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kellyanne-768x520.png 768w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kellyanne-465x315.png 465w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kellyanne-610x413.png 610w, https://wearechange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kellyanne.png 780w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Addressing Abedin specifically, Marshall wrote that “planning is necessary and best done when they are still with us. And once affirmed it will be very hard for someone to deny the type of ceremony she wanted &#8211; as well I understand that the President can request certain arrangements for her that she/her rep cannot (ie if you want the motorcade to go through DC &#8211; stop somewhere.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In </span><a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-huma-production-16-00684-pg-417/"><span style="font-weight: 400">another email</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, Band forwarded to Abedin a request for help from Philip Levine &#8212; who has been fundraising for the Clintons since the 1990s, Judicial Watch pointed out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“These emails are yet more evidence of Hillary Clinton’s casual and repeated violations of laws relating to the handling of classified information,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, “The Justice Department should finally begin an independent investigation into the Clinton email matter.”</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">A motion filed by Russian tech executive Aleksej Gubarev in his defamation lawsuit against BuzzFeed over the “golden showers” dossier may have the greatest troll title of all time.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Russian tech executive suing BuzzFeed actually filed this in federal court yesterday. <a href="https://t.co/ApU5o3LgyL">pic.twitter.com/ApU5o3LgyL</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Jose Pagliery (@Jose_Pagliery) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jose_Pagliery/status/846843532388261889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 28, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In his 22-page opposition filing over the motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit, titled “Six Ways BuzzFeed Has Mislead the Court (Number Two Will Amaze You)&#8230; And a Picture of a Kitten,” Gubarev actually did include a picture of an adorable feline.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">BuzzFeed has attempted to have the case thrown out or moved to New York, citing jurisdiction issues. Gubarev’s lawyer claims in the listicle-style opposition filing that the website simply wants it moved from Florida because they believe the New York court will be more favorable towards them.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;In a somewhat remarkable Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiffs Buzzfeed, Inc. (‘Buzzfeed’) and Ben Smith (‘Mr. Smith’) intimate that their ties to Florida are so sparse that, collectively, they can barely find Florida on a map and that, as a result, the present case should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or transferred to the Southern District of New York,&#8221; the document states.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Unamused by the mockery, BuzzFeed has responded saying that they were surprised by the nature of the filing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;We&#8217;re surprised by the plaintiffs&#8217; desire to make light of this matter, and we are confident in our motion to dismiss Mr. Gubarev&#8217;s suit,&#8221; a Buzzfeed spokesperson told Mashable. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Gubarev has filed two suits over the website’s publication of the far-fetched 35-page dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. One lawsuit filed in the US names Buzzfeed, the other was filed in the United Kingdom against Steele.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Steele had originally been hired to investigate Trump by “political opponents” within the Democratic and Republican parties, but it has not been revealed who hired him. He then decided to share the dossier with the FBI, who took it seriously, despite the outrageous nature of the allegations, due to Steele’s role in providing information important to the bureau’s long-running corruption case against FIFA. It has been reported that Steele was paying his sources, which has further called his, and the document’s, credibility into question.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The dossier accused Gubarev and his companies of being “instrumental” and a “significant player&#8221; in hacking the Democratic Party during the election season, which led to party emails being leaked by WikiLeaks. Steele claimed in the documents that Gubarev was blackmailed into assisting the hacking by Russian spies who had compromising information on him. Gubarev has loudly denied the allegations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">BuzzFeed has since apologized to Gubarev and edited his name from the dossier text, which remains published on their website despite the details contained within being unverified. After being published by the news and entertainment website, many journalists and publishers confirmed that they had also been given the dossier </span><span style="font-weight: 400">– </span><span style="font-weight: 400">but declined to publish it because of their inability to prove its validity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The report includes multiple claims that are questionable at best, and libelous at worst. Most famously, it claims that there exists a video, filmed by Russian intelligence agencies, of a urine party hosted by Trump in a Russian hotel, although there is no evidence to support that any such recording exists.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Trump‘s (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Mrs. Obama (who he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to,” the dossier states.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Trump responded to the dossier by calling BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage” and “fake news.”</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former president Barack Obama’s 18-year-old daughter Malia accosted right-wing White House correspondent Lucian Wintrich at a 21 and over nightclub in New York City on Saturday evening.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Malia Obama just scolded me at a club NYC. Not joking. She started saying &quot;I wanna punch that dude I the face!&quot;</p>
<p>&mdash; Lucian B. Wintrich (@lucianwintrich) <a href="https://twitter.com/lucianwintrich/status/845863037802295296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Wintrich, the White House correspondent for the <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/">Gateway Pundit</a>, was at a private club called The Parlor for an event that his friend was hosting when the teen, who he says was visibly intoxicated, angrily confronted him.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“My friend said ‘Malia Obama just said she wants to punch you’ and started laughing,” Wintrich told We Are Change. “I completely thought my friend was joking, but sure enough it was her. I tried to take a picture and she came up to me and started yelling.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">After Wintrich took the photo, Obama demanded that he confirm his name and occupation before launching into a belligerent rant. She reportedly said, “that’s what I thought,” after Wintrich identified himself.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I&#39;m not even joking, I&#39;m no <a href="https://twitter.com/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CNN</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/fakenews?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#fakenews</a>, Malia Obama just screamed at me after confirming my identity &#8211; one off my bucket list.</p>
<p>&mdash; Lucian B. Wintrich (@lucianwintrich) <a href="https://twitter.com/lucianwintrich/status/845883674923057153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“She had like five security people come up to me and tell me to delete the shoulder picture,” Wintrich said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Wintrich reports that the former First Daughter then said “if you wanna have a conversation, let’s sit down, let’s have a real conversation.” After the reporter accepted the offer however, he says that the intoxicated teen became even more enraged. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“I think you’re disgusting,” the hard partying Obama daughter said during the outburst, according to Wintrich.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">She was eventually pulled away from the reporter by her personal security team, but they continued to harass him about deleting the photograph. Wintrich and his friends ultimately became annoyed with the scene and left the club.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">SO management of Parlor in NYC told me to delete the Malia Obama shoulder pic from all my of social media or I&#39;d be banned; GUESS I&#39;M BANNED <a href="https://t.co/ns8T2oZP87">pic.twitter.com/ns8T2oZP87</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Wintrich was at the club with his friend Martina Markota, a conservative burlesque dancer and performance artist, who also confirms the series of events.</span></p>
<p>https://twitter.com/MartinaMarkota/status/845884390727135232</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Again, for the record, 18 year old Malia Obama literally scolded me for being in the same (21+) lounge in NYC as her ?? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BadParenting?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BadParenting</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Lucian B. Wintrich (@lucianwintrich) <a href="https://twitter.com/lucianwintrich/status/845873695398789120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Honestly, I was shocked that her parents are letting her go out to 21 plus lounges in New York that are inhabited by conservative White House correspondents and conservative burlesque dancers,” Wintrich told We Are Change.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Me after telling Malia Obama&#39;s father&#39;s impersonator about her recent escapades, neither of us are impressed: <a href="https://t.co/1JTA7y1iwO">pic.twitter.com/1JTA7y1iwO</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Lucian B. Wintrich (@lucianwintrich) <a href="https://twitter.com/lucianwintrich/status/846048151677141000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Recently, Wintrich was <a href="https://wearechange.org/gateway-pundit-reporter-attacked-white-house-press-briefing/">also accosted</a> by Fox News Radio&#8217;s unprofessional correspondent Jon Decker during a White House press briefing. The radio host was apparently upset about the Gateway Pundit reporter&#8217;s political views &#8212; despite admitting that he has never read anything on the website.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jon Decker asulted me at today&#39;s briefing. <a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FoxNews</a> &#8211; is this behavior something you tolerate over there? He&#39;s sick .<a href="https://t.co/gzZhhIzOMD">https://t.co/gzZhhIzOMD</a> <a href="https://t.co/ThppoHpRQw">pic.twitter.com/ThppoHpRQw</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>This is also not the 44th president&#8217;s daughter&#8217;s first time making headlines for her hard partying ways.</p>
<p>During a family vacation at their home on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard in August, the teen attended a wild party that was broken up by the police. She was quickly rushed away from the scene by the Secret Service. She was also notoriously filmed smoking marijuana during the 2016 Lollapalooza music festival.</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2j23a1SHKE</p>
<p>The Obama daughter will be attending Harvard University in the fall. Watch out, Boston.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">When asked by a reporter about claims that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, the president gestured towards the German leader and said, &#8220;at least we have something in common, perhaps.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In 2010, the National Security Agency monitored Merkel’s cellphone with direct authorization by President Barack Obama. After Merkel found out about the wiretap, she placed a “strongly worded” call to Obama, calling his actions “totally unacceptable, if true.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“This would be a grave breach of trust,” Merkel said through her spokesman Steffen Seibert at the time. “Such practices must immediately be put to a stop.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The two leaders both described their “working lunch” meeting as “very good,” and when asked by reporters if they discussed NATO, Trump responded that they “discussed many things.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">At the press conference, which began nearly an hour late, Trump praised the leadership of Chancellor Merkel, saying that the two nations must work together to “defeat radical Islamic terrorism” and Daesh.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Immigration is a privilege not a right,” Trump said, “and the safety of our citizens must always come first.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">For her part, Merkel opened her remarks by saying that it is always better to talk to one another, instead of talking about one another.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Asked by a reporter if she approves of Trump’s style, Merkel said that she had received a warm welcome, and that the two leaders had tried to reach a compromise on issues where they disagree.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Sometimes it’s difficult to find compromise, but that is what we have been elected for,” Merkel said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">During his presidential campaign, Trump harshly criticized Merkel for her liberal policies on accepting refugees, saying that she is &#8220;ruining Germany.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">It was expected that the duo would also discuss Russia, and during the press conference Trump stated that the two nations will work together to come up with a plan for peace regarding Ukraine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;The president will be very interested in hearing the chancellor&#8217;s views on her experience interacting with Putin,&#8221; a senior administration official told reporters.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The meeting was originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday, but had to be postponed due to the snow storm that hit the east coast. It was Merkel’s first visit to the US in two years.</span></p>
