On Friday morning, Trump tweeted a glowing report card on his trip so far:
“My experience yesterday in Poland was a great one. Thank you to everyone, including the haters, for the great reviews of the speech! … After Poland had a great meeting with Chancellor Merkel and then with PM Shinzō Abe of Japan & President Moon of South Korea. … I look forward to all meetings today with world leaders, including my meeting with Vladimir Putin. Much to discuss.#G20Summit #USA🇺🇸 … I will represent our country well and fight for its interests! Fake News Media will never cover me accurately but who cares! We will #MAGA!”
He also made a questionable claim: “Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!”
