Selection by @POTUS to select Bill Bar as the next attorney general is "a continuation of this law and order presidency," says acting Attorney General @MattWhitaker46.
Barr demonstrated "an unwavering adherence to the rule of law" in his previous tenure as attorney general, says @POTUS in Kansas City speech to law enforcement, saying his intended nominee deserves bipartisan support.
In speech to law enforcement, commenting on congressional races, @POTUS sometimes you choose someone for a position that you think is going to be really good and "they choke like dogs."

The @POTUS-Xi dinner here was a “highly successful meeting," says @PressSec in statement and the Chinese president, "in a wonderful humanitarian gesture, has agreed to designate Fentanyl as a Controlled Substance."
And @POTUS agreed that on Jan. 1, he'll "leave tariffs on $200 billion worth of product at the 10% rate, and not raise it to 25% at this time," adds @PressSec.
"China will agree to purchase a not yet agreed upon, but very substantial, amount of agricultural, energy, industrial, and other product from the United States to reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries," according to @PressSec.

1. Shabaab (Al Qaeda's branch in East Africa) has released a statement on yesterday's attack in #Nairobi, #Kenya. It was published along with an English-language translation. Some points to follow.
2. First, Shabaab says the attacked was carried out by its Saleh An-Nabhan Battalion. This is significant. This same unit -- named for an al Qaeda veteran who was embedded within Shabaab early on -- has carried out a number of high-profile attacks.
3. Nabhan first publicly swore allegiance *on behalf of Shabaab* to al Qaeda's senior leadership in Sept. 2008. Al Qaeda told Shabaab that it didn't want to make the relationship widely known, which some *incorrectly* interpreted as AQ rejecting Shabaab's request for a merger.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
