Trump vs the Media
Top stories: President Trump emboldened by hidden camera interviews by Project Veritas with a CNN commentator and producers (Russian Narrative is BS, Van Jones Russian Story is a Nothing Burger” and 90% of CNN thinks Trump is crazy) that express doubt over the Trump/Russian narrative, launches attack on CNN labelling them Fraudulent News.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 2, 2017
The President also labeled morning talk show hosts Mika Brzezinski, “Low IQ Mika” (later called her “dumb as a rock Mika”) and and Joe Scarborough, “Psycho Joe.” (who recently released an anti-trump music video entitled “Mystified“)
The House passed Kate’s Law and the Supreme Court partially upheld the President’s travel ban.
Issues:
are laws “President specific”
are non US citizens with no nexus to the United States other than a desire to enter, afforded the protections of the US Constitution.
Economy
Yellen yacks and predicts at the British Academy:
“My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time…Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.” Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of Great Britain, September 30, 1938 on the eve of World War II.
Define financial crisis- market based where central bank intervene heavily and perhaps can intervene even more if necessary?
