She was heard saying:

"So this is like my selfie mirror and my Snapchat mirror, so for future, this is a curtain behind me that looks crooked."

Trump rallies supporters in Pennsylvania on night of correspondents’ dinner

Sponsored by  our friends from Met001.biz 
=>

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is spending his 100th day in office not at the annual black-tie dinner that some say launched his bid for the White House, but with some of the people who sent him there.

Amid increasingly hostile relations between Trump and the media, Trump announced in February that he would not attend the White House correspondents' dinner Saturday night -- making him the first President since Ronald Reagan to miss the event (although Reagan, who was hospitalized after an assassination attempt at the Washington Hilton -- the same hotel serving as the venue for Saturday's dinner -- gave remarks by phone).
Instead, Trump is holding a campaign-style rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, one of the states he wasn't expected to win in November, with the aim of reminding some of his most ardent supporters that he has kept his campaign promises.
    Minutes into Trump's Harrisburg speech, he told the crowd just how much he preferred spending the evening with supporters than the Washington media.
    "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now," he said. "They are gathered together for the White House correspondents' dinner without the President.
    "And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from the Washington swamp spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people," Trump added.
    Trump's absence from the dinner became a topic of conversation early in the event when White House Correspondents' Association President Jeff Mason received a standing ovation after professing that the press is not the enemy of the American people -- a reference to an attack line Trump delivered early in his presidency.
    "Tonight looks a little different, but the values that underpin this dinner have not changed. In fact I think they've been reinforced," he said. "We are here to celebrate the press -- not the presidency."
    "Freedom of the press is a building block of our democracy," Mason added. "Undermining that by seeking to delegitimize journalists is dangerous to a healthy republic."
    Although Trump is skipping the chance to mingle and joke with the media, which he has routinely lambasted as "fake news," the days leading up to his 100th in office, a traditional milestone for measuring an administration's early achievements, have perhaps seen him give the highest number of sit-down interviews to media outlets since he entered office.
    Tension between the President and news organizations has been a hallmark of his early administration.
    Several news organizations withdrew from the White House correspondents' dinner in protest of Trump's treatment of the media before Trump decided he would not attend. Vanity Fair and Bloomberg, which usually co-host an exclusive, star-studded after-party, have canceled that gala, while The New Yorker canceled its pre-party, which would have happened Friday.
    The dinner has attracted national attention for attracting A-list celebrities, but the original purpose has been to raise money for journalism scholarships. With Trump and many celebrities skipping this year's event, many media companies -- including CNN -- decided that instead of inviting celebrities as guests this year, journalism students would be their guests instead.
    The White House Correspondents Association also tapped "Daily Show" comedian Hasan Minhaj -- who harshly criticized Trump at the Radio and Television correspondents' dinner last year -- to perform Saturday. Speaking at the event will be Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who were Washington Post reporters when they famously broke the Watergate story that brought down President Richard Nixon.
    The last time Trump attended the dinner was in 2011, when he was a New York real estate mogul and reality-TV star who had just jumped into politics by getting involved in the "birther" movement, calling for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Trump ended up being the butt of the jokes that night from comedian Seth Meyers and Obama himself.
    Trump's rally Saturday is taking place in a state that no Republican had won in a general election since George H. W. Bush in 1988. Trump will attempt to remind those who sent him to the White House that he has indeed kept his campaign-trail promises, despite evidence to the contrary.
    Hours before the dinner, Trump tweeted that the "FAKE media" failed to trumpet his accomplishments. But Trump enters his 100th day without having passed any major legislation and with the lowest approval rating of any president during this time period.
    Still, a recent poll by ABC News and The Washington Post showed him retaining support among his base, with 96% of people who said they voted for him saying they would do so again. Trump, who already announced his plan to run for re-election, has raised tens of millions of dollars before he marked his 100th day in the White House.

    Trump rallies his base on his 100th day

    Sponsored by AMA News 
    =>

    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump hit hard at the news media at a rally Saturday in Pennsylvania to tout the accomplishments of his first 100 days, striking a tone both divisive and determined as he played to the populist sentiments of a cheering crowd.

    "It's time for all of us to remember that we are one people with one great American destiny, and that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, and we all share the same glorious freedoms of our magnificent country," Trump said, evoking the populist rhetoric of his inauguration speech after spending a large part of his Saturday remarks decrying the alleged shortcomings of the mainstream media.
    Among the crowd favorites at Trump rallies are the President's attacks on the press, and this was true again on Saturday, when many in the media were attending the annual White House correspondents' dinner in what Trump routinely calls the "swamp" of Washington -- setting up a prime-time duel with what has become his No. 1 foe, the media.
      "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now," Trump told the crowd. "They are gathered together for the White House Correspondents' dinner -- without the President. And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from Washington's swamp, spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people."
      Trump held that divisive tone throughout the speech, prompting former presidential adviser and senior CNN political analyst David Gergen to call the remarks "deeply disturbing" in a special prime-time edition of "CNN Newsroom" with John Berman and Poppy Harlow.
      "This was the most divisive speech I have ever heard from a sitting American president," Gergen said. "Others may disagree about that. He played to his base and he treated his other listeners, the rest of the people who have been disturbed about him or opposed him, he treated them basically as, 'I don't give a damn what you think because you're frankly like the enemy.' I thought it was a deeply disturbing speech."

      MUST WATCH

      Trump, who found his stride during the campaign in front of large, cheering crowds across the country in states where his populist message resonates, took the stage Saturday night alongside Vice President Mike Pence.
      "There is no place I'd rather be than right here in Pennsylvania to celebrate our 100-day milestone, to reflect on an incredible journey together," Trump said.
      As expected, the President also addressed some of the biggest issues he has tried to tackle during his first 100 days in office. The threat from North Korea, getting a health care bill passed and possibly renegotiating the Paris climate accord were among the big talking points of the nearly one-hour speech.
      "I'll be making a big decision on the Paris accord over the next two weeks, and we will see what happens," Trump said on the same day that protesters backing action on climate change took to the streets in Washington and other cities across the country as part of the "People's Climate March."
      While Trump's raucous rally was straight out of his campaign playbook, he also did something he rarely does -- call out US congressmen from Pennsylvania who were in attendance by name.
      "We're going to give Americans the freedom to purchase the health care plans they want, not the health care forced on them by the government," Trump said. "And I'll be so angry at Congressman (Mike) Kelly and Congressman (Tom) Marino and all of our congressmen in this room if we don't get that damn thing passed quickly."
      In addition to speaking at the rally, Trump signed two executive orders in Harrisburg, one directing a review all US trade agreements and the second establishing the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
      This marks the first time in 36 years that a sitting president has not attended and spoken at the White House correspondents' dinner. President Ronald Reagan missed the dinner while recovering in the hospital from an assassination attempt, but he still made remarks by phone. Richard Nixon was the last president to skip the dinner completely.
      The last time Trump attended the dinner was in 2011, when he was a New York real estate mogul and reality TV star who had just jumped into politics by getting involved in the "birther" movement, calling for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Trump ended up being the butt of the jokes that night from comedian Seth Meyers and Obama himself.
      But no matter where he was, the spotlight was on Trump on Saturday since the day also marked a significant milestone in the career of a president. After serving as commander in chief for 100 days, his achievements, as well as shortfalls, were being closely scrutinized.
      On paper, Trump lacks a major legislative achievement, has the lowest approval ratings of any new commander in chief since World War II, has seen several key immigration goals held up by the courts and has failed to deliver the health care overhaul he promised again and again on the campaign trail.
      Trump's sole big win has been the successful nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court -- something a president hasn't done in his first 100 days since James Garfield appointed a justice within that time frame 136 years ago.
      Trump, a longtime critic of the number of Obama's executive orders, issued more executive orders in his first 100 days than any other president aside from Harry Truman.
      Trump's first 100 days have also been plagued with controversy, from appointing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner to key White House posts to dealing with allegations of possible ties between some of his campaign aides and Russia.
      His campaign promises on such major items as repealing and replacing Obamacare and overhauling the tax code -- things he rallied crowds with for months all over the country -- have yet to be enacted. Even his promise to build a wall on the border with Mexico has been caught up in a spending debate, with no support from Democrats and little to no progress being made.

      In addition to its many other failures, it looks like Fyre Fest is also an unintentional copycat.

      According to some Friday tweets from Seth Rogen and The Lonely Island, the two are combining comedic forces for a film about a "music festival that goes horribly wrong." Interesting! That sounds familiar.

      Woodward and Bernstein: Journalism, free press more crucial than ever

      Sponsored by  SmartQuotes - Your daily smart quote 
      =>

      Washington (CNN)Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward of Watergate fame argued Saturday night that good journalism is more crucial to a free society than ever in a climate of increasing hostility between the White House and the press.

      The speeches from the revered journalists came on the occasion of the first White House correspondents' dinner since 1981 in which the sitting president did not attend. Ronald Reagan missed the dinner that year while recovering from an assassination attempt, but delivered remarks by phone. Before that, Richard Nixon was the last president to skip the dinner.
      Bernstein, a CNN contributor, led the remarks by saying that Nixon targeted the media in an attempt to divert attention from his own misconduct and that of his administration's officials.
        "Richard Nixon tried to make the conduct of the press more the issue in Watergate instead of the conduct of the President and his men," Bernstein said, speaking to a sold-out crowd in the nation's capital. "We tried to avoid the noise and let the reporting speak."
        Bernstein also addressed lying and secrecy in the Nixon White House, but stopped short of drawing a direct parallel to President Donald Trump's administration.
        "Almost inevitably, unreasonable government secrecy is the enemy and usually the giveaway about what the real story might be," Bernstein said to applause. "(W)hen lying is combined with secrecy, there is usually a pretty good road map in front of us."
        He added, "Yes, follow the money but also follow the lies."
        Woodward offered a critical reflection on the state of the mainstream media in 2017, but also emphasized its key role in American democracy.
        "Our reporting needs to get both fact and tones right," he said. "(T)he effort today to get the best obtainable version of the truth is largely made in good faith."
        Speaking to the absent Trump, he said, "Mr. President, the media is not fake news. Let's take that off the table as we proceed. ...
        "Whatever the climate, whether the media is revered or reviled, we should and must persist, and I believe we will," he said. "Any relaxation by the press will be extremely costly to democracy."

        10 memorable lines from comedian Hasan Minhaj at the WHCA dinner

        Sponsored by  FreePLRArticles.biz 
        =>

        Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump was a no-show at the first White House Correspondents' Association dinner of his presidency. But that didn't keep "Daily Show" comedian Hasan Minhaj from addressing "the elephant not in the room."

        Trump was a target for Minhaj when he performed at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner last year, and Saturday night's routine wasn't much different.
        Jeff Mason, president of the White House correspondents group, said Minhaj wasn't chosen to "roast the President in absentia," but that's exactly what the 31-year-old comedian did.
          "I was looking for somebody who is funny and who is entertaining -- because I want the dinner to be entertaining -- but who can also speak to the message that the whole dinner is going to speak to ... the importance of a free press," Mason said earlier this month on MSNBC.
          Here are 10 of Minhaj's most memorable lines from the dinner:

          On being a minority in America:

          "That's why you gotta be on your 'A' game," Minhaj told the press. "You gotta be twice as good. You can't make any mistakes, because when one of you messes up he blames your entire group. ... And now you know what it feels like to be a minority."

          On the First Amendment:

          "This event is about celebrating the First Amendment and free speech. Free speech is the foundation of an open and liberal democracy from college campuses to the White House. Only in America can a first generation Indian American Muslim kid get on this stage and make fun of the President."

          On CNN:

          "Don, every time I watch your show, I feel like I'm watching a reality TV show. 'CNN Tonight' should just be called 'Wait a second! Now hold on! Stop yelling at each!' with Don Lemon."

          On Vladimir Putin:

          "We have to address the elephant not in the room. The leader of our country is not here. But that's because he's in Moscow."

          On Trump's frequent golfing outings:

          "Every time Trump goes golfing, the headline should read, 'Trump golfing. Apocalypse delayed. Take the W.' "

          On Kellyanne Conway and 'alternative facts':

          "Even if you guys groan, I've already hired Kellyanne Conway. She's gonna go on TV Monday and tell everyone I 'killed.' It really doesn't matter."

          On the Trump administration:

          "The news coming out of the White House is so stressful, I've been watching 'House of Cards' just to relax."

          On Frederick Douglass:

          "Frederick Douglass isn't here, and that's because. He's dead. Someone please tell the President!"

          On Afghanistan:

          "Historically, the president usually performs at the correspondents' dinner, but I think I speak for all of us when I say he's done far too much bombing this month."

          On headlining the WHCA dinner:

          "I would say it is an honor to do this, but that would be an alternative fact. It is not. No one one wanted to do this so of course it falls in the hands of an immigrant. That's how it always goes down."

          Take it from John Boyega: starring in one of the world's most beloved movie franchises does not make your love life a walk on Naboo.

          On this week's Graham Norton Show, Boyega spilled about a first date he had in New York before The Force Awakens was released. The two were cruising through Times Square when the woman asked what Boyega did for a living and his response was to point to the nearest Star Warsbillboard. (The one where he's wielding a lightsaber, of course.)

          As one might expect, things were never quite the same after that. And there's another lesson in here too, folks: never take a first date to Times Square.

            Where the Mexico City Policy matters the most

            (CNN)

            She has five children and works as a farmer in Budadiri, Uganda, east Africa.
            "I want to look after my children," Mudua says. "But I am a woman alone, and any time a man could force me into sex and I could get pregnant."
            Women like Mudua, thousands of miles away from Washington and the White House, are the ones starting to feel the reverberations of US President Donald Trump's Mexico City Policy, reintroduced in January amid a slew of executive orders from the newly inaugurated President.
            Mudua currently receives her contraception from Marie Stopes Uganda, a non-profit that provides family planning advice and sexual health services across the country.
            "I'm going to be OK because I will not have to give birth to a child I don't want on my own," she says.
            But for Mudua and others like her, things are about to change.
            Named after the venue of the conference where it was first announced by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, the Mexico City Policy, also known as the "global gag rule" withholds American aid (USAID) from any international non-governmental organizations that offer women advice on abortion.
            Marie Stopes Uganda says that 94% of its outreach work, which aims to bring contraception to women in rural and remote areas, is funded by USAID.
            It estimates that these funds will start to dry up around September, which over the next three years could result in an extra 1.1 million unwanted pregnancies in Uganda alone.

            'US funds never used for abortions'

            Any criticism leveled at the President for the manner in which he signed the order (surrounded by a group of white men) or the potential impact on global health services was drowned out by the widespread condemnation and confusion that met Trump's controversial travel ban announced three days later.
            Now organizations that offer abortions as part of their family planning services -- or even refer patients to other clinics that can perform abortions -- will be prevented from receiving any assistance at all from the US Agency for International Development, one of the largest contributors to international development assistance.
            Melesse says it's going to have a huge impact. "We're going to be losing around 100 million US dollars over the next three to four years."

            'Unequivocal' evidence

            Major reproductive care NGO Marie Stopes International says complying and removing safe abortion from its services isn't an option.
            The evidence is "unequivocal," says Marjorie Newman-Williams, Marie Stopes' vice president and director of international operations, that doing so would expose women to increased potential dangers.
            According to the latest WHO data, 21.6 million women annually are so desperate that they gamble with the risk of life-threatening injuries or even death to have unsafe abortions. Every year 47,000 women die from complications.
            "Agreeing to the Mexico City Policy would mean accepting their fate and turning our backs on the very women who need us most," says Newman-Williams.
            In 2003, shortly after the policy was last introduced by George W. Bush, the Center for Reproductive Rights published a report highlighting horror stories from women who'd sought out surgery from the wrong practitioners.
            In one example, a poor 17-year-old house help wanted to terminate her pregnancy.
            The person she went to see "did not know the anus from the vagina," one Kenyan NGO reported. "He destroyed her anus, rectum, uterus and some of the small intestine."

            Contraception conundrum

            Newman-Williams says that laws attempting to stop women from having abortions don't work because they don't stop the need for women to have abortions in the first place.
            And, paradoxically, as NGOs lose funding and are less able to provide contraception, the number of unwanted pregnancies is only likely to increase, which drives up the demand for abortions.
            Washington-based Impassioned Advocates for Girls and Women reports that after the last reinstatement of the policy in 2001, shipments of US-donated condoms and contraceptives completely stopped to 16 developing countries -- mainly in Africa.
            Family planning providers in another 16 countries (also mainly in Africa) lost access to condoms and contraceptives because they refused to accept the conditions of the Mexico City Policy.
            One healthcare worker on the ground in Uganda told CNN she currently issues contraceptive injections to between 30 and 50 women a month.
            "Women will walk for many miles to a health clinic and find that they cannot provide the services," says Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) volunteer Akiiki Jemimah Mutooro. RHU anticipates it will lose $420,000 in funding.
            "If we are unable to continue this service, many women will lose out."
            The reduction in access to contraception will also have a profound impact on the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including the battle with HIV, according to IPPF.
            "All the effort the United States has made over the years to support funding for HIV Aids initiatives is going to be affected by telling organizations who have received funding ... that they cannot inform the patient about abortion," says Melesse.

            She decides?

            Sub-Saharan Africa is likely to be one of the hardest-hit regions, says Marie Stopes International's director of strategy, Maaike van Min.
            It's the largest recipient of American aid and already has more abortion-related deaths than any other continent.
            She says a lot of work is being done on domestic financing, but social welfare systems are still in their infancy across much of the developing world and there are competing priorities for scarce resources. "It will be a challenge to try to meet the funding gap," she says.
            In February, dozens of governments and private philanthropists pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to a global fundraising initiative called She Decides, launched by Dutch Development Minister Lilianne Ploumen.
            In 2002, the European Commission came forward and said it wanted to make up the shortfall after Bush's reinstatement of the policy. This was an important move, says Melesse, because it proved "the US cannot tell the world how women's health and sexual reproductive health should be handled."
            White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says President Trump has always made it very clear that he's pro-life and he's staying true to his pre-election promises.
            "He wants to stand up for all Americans, including the unborn, and I think the reinstatement of this policy is not just something that echoes that value, but respects taxpayer funding as well," Spicer said in a press briefing at the time.
            In January, Republican Congressman Chris Smith, chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, lauded the move in a press release.
            "Organizations like Marie Stopes International and the International Planned Parenthood Federation have reported performing over 1 million abortions annually," Smith said, citing a January 2017 poll where 83% of American respondents said they opposed US tax dollars being used to support abortion abroad -- but omitting that in the same poll 52% of Americans also said they were pro-choice.
            The deprivation of this choice for women in less-privileged circumstances is what jars with Melesse the most.
            "This government is coming and telling the rest of the world: you cannot have the democracy that the United States has," he says. "That's really the most critical part."

            Supersonic jet service could be landing in Dubai

            =>

            Dubai boldly brands itself as "The Future City," with space age architecture, next-level tech hubs, and paradigm-shifting transportation systems so it's only fitting that the resurgence of supersonic travel could find a home amid all the other next-gen innovations here.

            The leaders of Boom, the supersonic jet startup backed by Richard Branson, gave a pitch presentation to the Dubai Future Foundation earlier this week, according to the UAE publication The National.

            Boom's founder and CEO Blake Scholl outlined the company's plans for the audience, which included the potential for flights from Dubai to London in under five hours at the same cost of a first-class seat on any other airline by 2023.

            Scholl was invited to give his pitch by the Dubai Future Accelerators, an initiative within the larger Dubai Future Foundation that promotes government sponsorship of future-forward projects. The group had a hand in similar new-age transportation deals that brought Tesla and Hyperloop One to the city.

            Boom aims to modernize the 50-year-old supersonic systems originated by the now-defunct Concorde, promising 55-seat jets that fly at Mach 2.2 speeds (1,451 mph). Concorde's service never really took off because of its outlandish cost seats could be as expensive as $20,000 a pop but Boom aims for a more "accessible" $5,000 price.

            The startup received its first major round of funding back in March, and has reportedly secured reservations for 25 of the $200 million jets from Branson's Virgin Airlines and other unnamed buyers. The first prototype of the craft, dubbed "Baby Boom," is expected to be ready for flight next year.

            Scholl reportedly wouldn't confirm or deny questions about plans with Middle Eastern airlines, like Emirates or Qatar Airways, but said he's "open to meetings with all interested parties."

            If Boom does wind up serving Dubai, it would be just the latest aviation innovation to stake out part of the city's airspace. Earlier this year, the city's Roads & Transportation Agency revealed plans for an air taxi service to be in place by this summer, and the city is one of two localities where Uber will partner as part of its Elevate project for flying cars.

            Tapper: These Americans have had a rougher 100 days than Trump

            Sponsored by  FreePLRArticles.biz 
            =>

            (CNN)"Many Americans" had a tougher past 100 days -- coinciding with the first months of Donald Trump's presidency -- than the President himself, CNN's Jake Tapper said on "The Lead" Friday.

            Tapper responded: "The notion that President Trump thought the job of President of the United States of America would be easier than hosting 'Celebrity Apprentice' and running the Trump business empire is pretty stunning."
            Tapper then went on to name a handful of Americans who have had a difficult past few months -- many of them as a result of Trump's policies.
              "There's Kraig Moss, who lost his son Rob in the opioid crisis in 2014 and believed Trump when he said he would do something about the crisis. In fact, Kraig supported Trump so strongly he traveled the country to Trump rallies singing the candidate's praises. After the health care bill, Moss says he will never vote for Trump again," Tapper said.
              The White House attempted to revive a health care reform package ahead of the President's 100 days in office, but that has not come into fruition.
              Tapper then mentioned Emmanuel Ayala Frutos, one of the so-called DREAMers -- people brought to this country illegally by their parents. The President has said he feels sympathy for DREAMers in the past.
              "Frutos was brought here when he was 6. Recently, he was held in detention for 18 days. He and other DREAMers live in constant fear as the President cracks down on illegal immigration and they don't know what's going to happen to them," Tapper continued.
              Then there's cancer patient Melissa Nance, who's worried about losing her health insurance.
              "She's covered by Obamacare now, but insurers are pulling out of her state of Tennessee. Trump said he would take care of this, he said he would fix it, he said it would be easy. but Congress has passed nothing," Tapper said.
              "I could go on and on," Tapper continued, "The factory workers who were told by the President that he would bring their jobs back though he has not introduced a jobs bill yet. The troops in harms way wondering if the President has any actual foreign policy strategy or if he's just winging it with them on the front lines."
              "These Americans are depending on you, Mr. President," Tapper said, "These are the people who have had a rough 100 days."

              President Trump, protecting South Korea is not a real estate deal

              Sponsored by  SmartQuotes - Your daily smart quote 
              =>

              (CNN)In President Donald Trump's book "The Art of the Deal," he writes about how important it is to know one's market, to study hard. He wrote that he likes to gather as many disparate opinions and views about a potential real estate deal as he can before making any final decisions about how it will affect a given area or neighborhood.

              So it was a bit surprising to hear him say in an interview Thursday night that he expects South Korea to reimburse the United States for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system we will soon be deploying to Seongju, a system that Trump said costs about a billion dollars.
              Seems to me that he hadn't done all his homework. I mean, the United States has already agreed to fund it.
                But more broadly, he apparently doesn't understand the contours of our alliance with South Korea or the importance of allies themselves. You see, allies are friends. And friends are folks you count on -- and who count on you. At least that's the way it is supposed to work.
                In this particular alliance -- one of the most important in the world -- the stakes could not be higher. President Trump said so himself in an interview with Reuters. As if we needed another reminder, Pyongyang fired off yet another missile just today.
                And yet, here he was in that same interview -- and oh, by the way, virtually on the eve of an important national election in South Korea -- utterly and completely surprising his ally with an announcement on THAAD reimbursement.

                THAAD system in South Korea almost operational

                MUST WATCH

                I'm betting many in his own national security team were taken aback as well.
                And while I'm sure the far left in Korea, which is opposed to the THAAD deployment, found the Trump invoice a helpful little talking point to support their thesis that the United States cannot be trusted, the President also unnerved millions of mainstream South Koreans who fear that the United States is willing to cozy up to China, divvying up the Asia-Pacific region at the expense -- and without the say-so -- of the Republic of Korea.
                Even the top foreign policy adviser to presidential frontrunner Moon Jae-in called the payback an "impossible option."
                And Bonnie Glaser, an Asia expert at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Reuters Trump's remarks could actually run counter to the President's stated desire to show real muscle in his approach.
                "Trump's remarks ... will likely boost support for Moon, and if he wins, it will make it harder for the United States to sustain a hardline policy against North Korea. "
                It's a strange way, indeed, to treat a friend who is staring down the barrel of a gun while hosting nearly 30,000 American troops on its soil.
                And that brings up another thing Trump doesn't appear to understand: his own military. The THAAD deployment is just that, a deployment. And like every other military deployment, while we may need the use of certain domestic facilities and physical sites, it's still our stuff and using it is still our responsibility.
                In this case, THAAD was about one thing and one thing only: shoring up the alliance's defensive capability on the peninsula in the wake of repeated provocations by the North.
                President Obama said as much at the time of the agreement: "We've worked together to strengthen our alliance, and to ensure our readiness against any threat. Our missile defense cooperation -- THAAD -- is a purely defensive system to deter and defend against North Korean threats."
                The United States accomplishes that with this system. The South Koreans accomplish it by giving us a place from which to operate it. That was the arrangement, and it's totally in keeping with the Status of Forces Agreement we signed with the Republic of Korea back in 1967.
                It's not clear at all where the President got his $1 billion figure. That's about what the system costs us to buy, but operating costs are much lower. And since we aren't selling it to anyone, it doesn't make much sense to slap a price tag on it.
                Plus there's the little matter of scarcity: there are fewer than 10 operational THAAD systems in the American arsenal. Commanders will tell you they need each and every one of them -- and more. Wherever you decide to deploy a system like THAAD, you are by default making a decision about somewhere else you won't be able to deploy one.
                It's a zero-sum game for such a precious commodity. So while it makes perfect sense to put one in South Korea right now, we aren't exactly out hawking them out to all bidders.
                THAAD is a complicated, technologically advanced system designed to shoot missiles out of the sky. And it belongs to the United States. We own it. We maintain it. We deploy it. Hopefully, we will never have to use it.
                And make no mistake, THAAD is just as much -- if not more -- about protecting our own assets, resources and troops on the Korean peninsula as it is about helping protect those of our ROK allies. For the commander in chief to hold it out as some sort of insurance policy on which we wish to extract a premium is to ignore completely the role this system plays in protecting American lives as well.

                Finally, I don't think the President fully understands the art of this particular deal. This deal is most decidedly not a zero-sum game. Everybody wins.
                Our troops and their families are safer. Our South Korean allies are safer. Pyongyang's ability to hit the South with missiles is reduced. China gets the message loud and clear that we mean business about our interests on the peninsula. And our allies and partners -- there and around the world -- take comfort in the fact that the United States will continue to meet its security commitments.
                President Trump's team should be commended for the thoughtful, deliberate and strategic approach they have taken to the problem of North Korea's provocations. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was downright sober and succinct Friday at the United Nations, laying out in clear language how seriously the United States is taking the issue and how unafraid we are to lead the rest of the world in solving it, if need be.
                In that vein, there is a powerful and important geostrategic purpose to the THAAD deployment, one that far outweighs any cost of putting it there. And the President does a disservice to his national security team -- not to mention our alliance -- when he speaks about something as miserly and mean as reimbursement.
                This isn't some real estate deal. It's a nation-state deal, a national security deal. And in deals like this, trust -- not cash -- is the coin of the realm. Unfortunately, Mr. Trump just spent a fortune of that.
