5 Things To Know For Your New Day-Friday July 21st

World History According To Trump:

The President would like to provide some context.

As with so many of his predecessors, President Donald Trump is inclined to recall historical events to better frame his own performance and political agenda. President Barack Obama was said to favor a “team of rivals” in building his Cabinet, a term the historian Doris Kearns Goodwin coined in a book on President Abraham Lincoln and his administration. Republicans have for years channeled — and sought to align themselves with — President Ronald Reagan.

Throughout his campaign and first six months in the White House, Trump has spoken of the past — his slogan, “Make American Great Again,” states explicitly his desire to return to some idealized version of it.

Grassley Threatens Subpoena For Trump Jr., Manafort If They Don’t Testify:

“We love this job. We love this department, and I plan to continue to do so as long as that is appropriate,” he told reporters Thursday.
