Suing the President
Ever since Republican President Donald Trump took the oath of office to become the 45th President of the United States, the entire Democratic Party apparatus decided that the most effective way to diminish Trump, was to sue him at every single turn.

Buttigieg : “Repeal and replace” use of American military force by HISPOLITICA
THE CANDIDATES
Bernie Sanders is out proudly championing abortion. Sanders is jubilant and "proud" that Vermont "reaffirmed" a woman' right to an abortion.
Kamala Harris wants to hike the estate tax to pay teachers. See above
Pete Buttigieg : "We must put an end to endless war and refocus on future threats. We must promote American values by working to reverse the rise of authoritarianism abroad. We must treat climate change as the existential security challenge it is."
Roberto "Beto" O'Rourke is saying and doing all the right things to appease the Democratic Party's progressive base of support, but his polling numbers have plateaued, and in some cases dropped.
Elizabeth Warren pushes for equal pay for the U.S. Women's World Cup Team, saying that they raise more revenue than the men's team. The U.S. men's soccer team really sucks.

Photographer reveals letter between Trump and Mexico by Telemundo
The president, Donald Trump, took out a sheet of paper folded in two of his sack, he pretended to read it, he folded it again and while he waved it he said "here it is, but you can not see it yet".
The theatrical scene arose after reporters asked him about the secret deal he said he has signed with Mexico. The sheet of paper would have been that deal, although there is no way of knowing.

He added: " That is the agreement that everyone says I do not have ."
While showing the sheet of paper, Trump said he would not show the contents of the document, because he was waiting for Mexico to announce the agreement "at the right time."
However, a photographer from The Washington Post managed to capture part of the content of the letter...
