If they do ask us to leave, if we dont do it in a very friendly basis, we will charge them sanctions like theyve never seen before ever. Itll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.
We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base thats there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. Were not leaving unless they pay us back for it, Trump said.
The president added that If theres any hostility, that they do anything we think is inappropriate, we are going to put sanctions on Iraq, very big sanctions on Iraq.

Thanks Bernie for this CNN headline! "Biden brings weak record and
and no excitement to 2020 race."
Hard to walk that back. Thought we were on same team? "Disagree with policy specifics" team. Not "I want to win no matter what scorched earth " strategy.

It was about 9 oclock, a warm idyllic evening in south Florida. I was leaving after dinner (seafood risotto) when the president noticed me and casually called me over and introduced me to McCarthy.
Howie knows a lot about Elizabeth Warren, he said, and then we started talking about her decline in the polls. I mentioned the rise of Bernie Sanders.
Can he win New Hampshire? the president asked. "I think hes ahead now, I said. The president looked thoughtful. He glanced from me to McCarthy.
Whod be better to run against? he asked. Bernie or Biden? "Bernie! we both answered.

Former Fox News reporter Courtney Friel says that Donald Trump propositioned her before he was elected president while both were married, and that the come-on compromised her reporting on his presidential campaign.
Friel wrote in her new memoir Tonight At 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News that Trump called her the hottest one at Fox News, according to the New York Daily News, which reported it viewed an excerpt.
Trump, in a phone call, complimented Friels work and asked about career goals before getting more personal, she wrote. Out of nowhere, he said: You should come up to my office sometime, so we can kiss.
