Trump issues statement on San Francisco. The Federal Government was preparing to “surge” San Francisco, California, on Saturday, but friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge in that the Mayor, Daniel Lurie, was making substantial progress. I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around. I told him I think he is making a mistake, because we can do it much faster, and remove the criminals that the Law does not permit him to remove. I told him, “It’s an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer but, let’s see how you do?” The people of San Francisco have come together on fighting Crime, especially since we began to take charge of that very nasty subject. Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great. They want to give it a “shot.” Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned! truthsocial.com@realDonaldTrump/posts/115424560133045127

Gemini says: Barack Obama did not build a new basketball court, but adapted the existing White House tennis court for basketball in 2009, using his own money and declining a congressional appropriation. This means there was no cost to the public, as the Obamas paid for the project themselves. Cost: The Obamas paid for the modifications with their own funds. Funding: They chose to use their own money instead of accepting the $100,000 that Congress allocates for presidential residence renovations. Project: The project involved adding basketball lines and baskets to the existing tennis court to allow for full-court games. Timing: The adaptation took place in 2009, shortly after Obama took office.
