In Donald Trump's White House, at least at first, there will be no state dinners honoring heads of state as long as the United States is operating at a trade deficit, he declared on Monday. But when the U.S. starts making money again, there will be double the dinners.When Xi Jinping visited Washington last September, Trump remarked that he would rather serve the Chinese leader a Big Mac rather than the "Grilled Cannon of Colorado Lamb with Garlic Fried Milk and Baby Broccoli" that was one item on the White House menu.At a campaign rally on Monday in Salem, New Hampshire, the Republican real-estate mogul upped the ante with his usual lines about being a seasoned dealmaker.“And then Obama gives a big party, a state dinner for the head of China, they probably don’t even talk about it," he lamented."It’s going to be different, folks.

    Some are wondering why South Dakota's Governor included her animal killing spree in her upcoming memoir. "She includes her story about the ill-fated Cricket, she says, to illustrate her willingness, in politics as well as in South Dakota life, to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done." There is also a story about a wayward aggressive goat that was dealt with decisively, that is to say with a bullet to the brain. On Trump's shortlist for running-mate, Noem must think such anecdotes paint in a good light.
