It's probably an unpopular opinion among some but it's not ok for any president, including #OrangeFuehrer, to be shot at on our soil, #Democrat or #GOP or whatever. The only consolation is this doesn't appear to have direct ties to #Iran. And can still say, yeah, #noWHballroom. #Trump #WHPressDinner

Mark Burnett put him up to this. The former executive producer of The Apprentice, now special envoy to the UK, is a Great Salt Lake fan. He is a Utah transplant, a board member of Grow the Flow and involved in various other organizations focused on saving Great Salt Lake. That's why Trump cares.

It's obviously a relief that Viktor Orban's rule is over. But there is a major caveat. His replacement is horribly right-wing - he's even more anti-migrant than Orban. Hopefully he'll roll back the authoritarianism and stop blocking EU action on e.g. Israel.
