MEXICO CITY — Central American immigrants traveling through Mexico in a caravan that drew the attention of President Donald Trump protested in front of the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City on Saturday. Mexico’s capital was the final planned stop of the migrant caravan that left from the Mexico-Guatemala border late last month to draw attention to policies toward immigrants and refugees. Organizer Irineo Mujica said at Mexico City’s Angel of Independence monument that what remains of the caravan would visit the basilica of Mexico’s patron saint and seek meetings with representatives of the United Nations and Organization of American States. “We are looking for some reaction, some change in the policies,” Mujica said. Last Tuesday, as the caravan camped at a sports complex in southern Mexico, Trump tweeted that “The big Caravan of People from Honduras, now coming across Mexico and heading to our “Weak Laws” Border, had better be … [Read more...] about Members of caravan denounced by Trump protest immigration policies at U.S. Embassy in Mexico City

How to Watch—or Not Watch—Donald Trump’s 2018 State of the Union Address Tonight
Tonight, Donald Trump’s 2018 State of the Union address will be called “presidential” for successfully proving he can read full words and sentences like many 7-year-olds 71-year-olds. As Paul Ryan told Fox News, he’ll take credit for a economic success that was handed to him by his predecessor—which, to be fair, is the only part of the job he has actual experience in—as well as accomplishments like appointing a Supreme Court justice, which must have been difficult after his own party held the seat open for a year to block President Obama and give him the opportunity.Due to Trump’s love of keeping people in suspense, he’s apparently got a surprise guest coming who he’s probably going to use as a prop for something awful. Although at this point, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it were Vladimir Putin, the Joker making an appearance to reveal this was his sick plan all along, or … this:Despite how all this is … [Read more...] about How to Watch—or Not Watch—Donald Trump’s 2018 State of the Union Address Tonight
Donald Trump’s Controversial U.K. Visit Confirmed
After several months of back and forths and an outpouring of opposition to the move, Donald Trump looks set to visit the U.K. this summer. The trip was agreed between Trump and British prime minister Theresa May in Davos, their first meeting since he canceled a visit to London earlier this month and almost two months after he infamously retweeted anti-Islamic videos by far-right group Britain First. The working visit will come without the pomp and ceremony of an official state visit, but, according to The Times, is likely to include a meeting with Queen Elizabeth.Trump and May had a 15-minute meeting in Davos during which the president played down any talk of a rift, saying "we love your country" and that they "like each other a lot."Whenever it takes place, Trump's U.K. visit is expected to result in huge protests, with many in the press speculating that they would be the biggest since the anti-war demonstrations against the Iraq War in 2003, which were the largest in British … [Read more...] about Donald Trump’s Controversial U.K. Visit Confirmed
Lara Trump Implies Women’s March Participants Are Sheep, Calls Rally a ‘Hateful Anti-Trump Protest’
Over the weekend, millions of women participated in Women’s Marches across the country, indicating that the energy displayed by The Resistance in the initial Women’s March in 2017 had not subsided. During an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning, one Trump family member described the rallies as “hateful” while suggesting that the women who participated were too stupid to know why they were marching.Co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump what she thought about Hollywood celebrities not only taking shots at her father-in-law during the rallies, but also apparently ripping Melania Trump.“Women are supposed to stick together, even Hillary Clinton said that,” Earhardt stated. “And you have all these women that are saying such negative things about Melania. And she didn’t decide to run. She’s not the president.”After saying that her mother-in-law has taken everything … [Read more...] about Lara Trump Implies Women’s March Participants Are Sheep, Calls Rally a ‘Hateful Anti-Trump Protest’
Donald Trump Cancels U.K. Trip Over Fears of Mass Protests
Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he will not now visit the U.K. to open the new U.S. embassy in London claiming that he was not a "fan" of the $1.2 billion complex as it was a "bad deal."Despite the president's tweet, the Guardian is reporting that Trump canceled the trip amid fears of massive protests when he touched down in London. British Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump to an official state visitor soon after he was elected, but a huge backlash in the U.K. with plans for organized protests and a plan by MPs to refuse to let the president address Parliament led to those plans being postponed.The Guardian reports that the British and American government's hoped that Trump could do a smaller scale visit and officially open the new U.S. embassy, but the very real prospect of mass protest, likely to be given further impetus by Trump's "shithole" comments, again derailed those plans. Instead of Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will travel to London and open … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Cancels U.K. Trip Over Fears of Mass Protests
