It’s been two years and one day since Donald Trump took office as president of the United States. That proposal didn’t just flop with Democrats, but it also riled some conservative critics, who worry Trump is softening his hard line on immigration. Trump then unleashed some tweets to counter that perception, along with one accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of behaving “irrationally” in rejecting his offer. Meanwhile, the questions over Trump’s efforts to build a tower in Moscow while he was campaigning for president (and claiming he had nothing to do with Russia) are growing. Trump’s lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, confirmed that talks about the project continued up to the 2016 election, months longer than acknowledged.
