Russia's outspoken foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, had some choice words for CNN -- after being confronted by their reporters over the AG Sessions' hysteria. In a prepared statement, she called the event 'media vandalism' and a 'disgrace' -- suggesting the US media is down in the depths of depravity and deceit.

She stated the American media had “cross(ed) the line far beyond the professional ethics and their competence. They accuse and judge by simply fabricating false information."

I hate to break it to you, but Donald Trump isn’t going to make America great again. He doesn’t have the insight or courage to stand up to the financial elite, and he’s insufferably authoritarian. This is not a recipe for greatness.

President Trump is due to deliver remarks aboard the not yet commissioned super-carrier U.S.S. Gerald Ford, docked at Newport News, Va. The focus of his speech is expected to be promote his vision and plan for the nation's military buildup.

During the campaign he promised a surge in military spending as part of his campaign to make America great again. This week, the White House announced it would be adding $54 billion (£43 billion) to the defence budget – about a 10 percent increase.

Donald Trump may soon find himself on the receiving end of a "visa war" that could have dire consequences for trans-Atlantic travel and European tourism. On Thuesday, EU lawmakers voted to force Americans to apply for visas when traveling to Europe in response to Washington refusing to allow all Europeans to travel to the States visa-free.
