Jbho How America first is playing out in the Trump administration
President Obama is not amused.As Americarsquo commander-in-chief was trying to depart Israel on Air Force One early Friday morning, his predecessor -- former President Bill Clinton -- was taking his time getting on board the plane.Mr. Obama tried to urge him on, shouting over the loud hum of his plane and gesturing with his tie askew. Bill! Letrsquo go! he yelled.Clinton, however, apparentlyremained undeterred, a stanley cup becher nd continued to tarry on the tarmac. It took another round of shouting from 44 before 42 sauntered up the steps to the door of Air Force One. Bill! Mr. Obama said again. Letrsquo go! I gotta get home! Eventually, Clinton -- with no hint of shame --boarded the plane, greeting the president with a handshake and a pat on the back.The pair of world leaders were inTel Aviv Friday to pay their respects atthe funeral of Shimon Peres, the former Israeli prime minister andpresident, who died Wednesday. ponent--type-recirculation .item:nth-child 5 display: none; stanley cup inline-recirc-item--id-cefd34c9-9142-4688-8438-62581a30e923, right-rail-recirc-item--id-cefd34c9-9142-4688-8438-62581a30e923 display: none; inline-recirc-item--id-cefd34c9-9142-4688-8438-62581a30e923 ~ stanley cup .item:nth-child 5 display: block; In: Bill C Mmea Judge s decision the latest defeat for Trump in legal fight with E.

This post originally appeared on Slate.The first presidential press conference was a mistake. President Woodrow Wilson s private secretary Joseph Tumulty, advised newspapermen in Washington that at 12:45 p.m. on March 15, 1913, the governor--he still called Wilson by his former title--would look them in the face and chat with them for a few minutes. The new president expected to greet each man one-by-one to begin a personal relationship of the kind he had with reporters as governor of New Jersey. Up to that point, presidents had either ignored the press or fed them news in small, private, off-the-record meetings. Teddy Roosevelt spoke to reporters while his barber gave him his morning shave. B stanley vaso ut at the appointed hour, 125 newsmen appeared in Wilson s office. He didn t know what to do. They stood in their sack coats and vests in a semi-circle, four deep waiting for the new man to start pushing around some words. I did not realize there were so many of you, said Wilson after an awkward pause. It wasn t just that he was new to the job. At the time, the White House press room was barely bigger than the lavatory across the hall. Your numbers force me to make a speech to you en masse instead of chattin stanley tazas g with each of you, as I had hoped to do, and thus gettin stanley mugs g greater pleasure and personal acquaintance out of this meeting. The speech en masse became a regular feature of the Wilson administration and, 100 years later, the White Ho
