	    <meta property="og:description" content="On Sunday morning, President Trump broke up his tweeting about Hurricane Harvey, the greatness of Missouri, and books he recommends, to criticize the crime rate in Mexico, insist it will pay for the wall he wants to build along the U.S. southern border, and threaten to scrap NAFTA.
Mexico's foreign ministry responded to Trump's tweets with a statement clarifying that it won't &quot;negotiate NAFTA, nor any other aspect of the bilateral relationship, through social media,&quot; won't &quot;pay, under any circumstances, for a wall or physical barrier built on U.S. territory along the Mexican border,&quot; but will offer &quot;help and cooperation&quot; to the U.S. government as it copes with the impact of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, &quot;as good neighbors should always do in trying times.&quot;

In case the offer of help and &quot;full solidarity&quot; for the American people and their government got lost in the responses to Trump, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).

I just spoke to Gov. @GregAbbott_TX. We will provide all the help we can. Our full solidarity with the people of Texas. #HurricaneHarvey

Texas will probably need all the friendly help it can get after the rain stops falling on Houston and surrounding areas. Peter Weber"/>

							 <p>On Sunday morning, President Trump <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/721060/trump-tweets-praise-harvey-response-attacks-mexico-nafta" target="_blank">broke up his tweeting</a> about Hurricane Harvey, the greatness of Missouri, and books he recommends, to criticize the crime rate in Mexico, insist it will pay for the wall he wants to build along the U.S. southern border, and threaten to scrap NAFTA.</p>
<p>Mexico's foreign ministry responded to Trump's tweets with a <a href="https://www.gob.mx/sre/en/prensa/press-release-123190" target="_blank">statement</a> clarifying that it won't "negotiate NAFTA, nor any other aspect of the bilateral relationship, through social media," won't "pay, under any circumstances, for a wall or physical barrier built on U.S. territory along the Mexican border," but will offer "help and cooperation" to the U.S. government as it copes with the impact of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, "as good neighbors should always do in trying times."</p>

							 <p>On Tuesday night, President Trump's White House was <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755085/wh-official-tells-washington-post-john-kelly-big-fat-liar-when-comes-porter-saga" target="_blank">embroiled in an escalating week-long scandal</a> over former staff secretary Rob Porter, and Trump's longtime personal lawyer just <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755084/trumps-personal-lawyer-says-used-money-pay-stormy-daniels-130000" target="_blank">admitted to making a secret pre-election $130,000 payment</a> to a porn star who said she'd had an extramarital affair with Trump. So naturally, Fox News host Tucker Carlson decided to talk about Omarosa Manigault Newman.</p>
<p>Maybe <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/omarosa-reportedly-fired-abusing-white-house-car-service-article-1.3818099" target="_blank">the White House is worried</a> about Omarosa <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/754192/white-house-pushes-back-omarosas-prophecy-trumpean-doom-by-noting-trump-fired-apprentice" target="_blank">using her <em>Celebrity Big Brother</em> platform</a> to <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/754851/omarosa-says-pence-extreme-thinks-jesus-tells-say-things" target="_blank">dish about the White House</a>, but Carlson's guest, Piers Morgan, judged it "absolutely ridiculous that we're even having to discuss Omarosa. He warmed up to the subject. Trump made a grave error putting Omarosa in the West Wing, he said, and now "she's squealing like a canary and taking them all down, as of course she was going to."</p>
<p>"I mean, for all the time we spend on the Russia story, this is a bigger scandal," Carlson agreed, laughing. Morgan compared Omarosa to Rob Porter, which was a bridge too far for Carlson. Omarosa "is probably in her own category," he said. Trump's White House is "not chock full of Omarosas." He turned to Morgan's <em>Celebrity Apprentice</em> stint with Omarosa.</p>
<p>"She's absolutely appalling, literally one of the worst human beings I've ever encountered in my life," Piers Morgan said. He called Omarosa "vicious, conniving, scheming, plotting, treacherous," and claimed the first thing she did when they met on set was proposition him. "She said, 'On <em>The Apprentice</em>, everyone has sex together, so you and I could do that and then we could sell it and make loads of money.' I said, 'Are you completely deluded? What!? Please go away.' She said, 'What? What's the matter with you? Are you gay?'" Carlson found this hilarious. "So this is your #MeToo moment," he said, laughing.</p>

<p>In the White House, "you can just bet your life she was there listening, plotting, scheming, probably tape-recording," Morgan promised. If so, you know where to tune it. <a class="author" href=/authors/peter-weber><em>Peter Weber</em></a></p>

					<div class="sp-body" id="sp-body-755106">

							 <p>On Tuesday night, Michael Cohen, a longtime personal lawyer for President Trump, <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755084/trumps-personal-lawyer-says-used-money-pay-stormy-daniels-130000" target="_blank">made the startling admission</a> that he had, after all, paid $130,000 to adult film actress Stephanie "Stormy Daniels" Clifford right before the 2016 election. <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> reported in January that <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/748616/adult-film-star-allegedly-paid-130000-keep-quiet-about-affair-donald-trump-wall-street-journal-reports" target="_blank">Cohen had paid Daniels $130,000</a>, through a <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/749570/trump-lawyer-reportedly-created-private-company-delaware-pay-adult-film-star-stormy-daniels" target="_blank">company set up for that purpose</a>, to stay quiet about an <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/752136/jimmy-kimmel-interviewed-stormy-daniels-about-alleged-affair-trump-pretty-awkward" target="_blank">extramarital affair she was telling reporters she had with Trump</a> in 2006.</p>
<p>"Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly," Cohen said, not ruling out that Trump himself had reimbursed him. On Tuesday night, Fox News national correspondent Ed Henry tackled the big question: "This might raise more questions about possible hush money, since the president and the porn star have insisted nothing happened, so why pay her? Well Cohen just told me in a phone call, 'Even if something is untrue, it can be damaging.' His goal all along was to protect the president."</p>
<p><iframe width="600" height="360" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hVzgYmpaKUg?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>On MSNBC, Brian Williams asked legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks why this would "be important and germane enough to re-inject the porn star story back into the news cycle?" Using campaign money "would have been an <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/750223/watchdog-group-files-complaint-over-trump-lawyers-reported-settlement-adult-film-star" target="_blank">improper use of campaign funding</a>," Wine-Banks said. "But, first of all, all of Michael Cohen's money comes from the Trump Organization, so it's basically Trump money no matter what. And the admission that they're paying a porn star says something: why would they pay her? It's because she could have possibly blackmailed the president." Blackmail from a former paramour or Russians would be "a serious problem," she added.</p>
<p><iframe width="600" height="360" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MIV3YOXgXeA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Even if Cohen used his own money, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-says-he-personally-paid-stormy-daniels-1518585093" target="_blank">campaign finance experts tell the <em>Journal</em></a>, he "likely violated election rules because it wasn't reported to the Federal Election Commission." And Cohen's admission he made the payment to protect Trump suggests he was aiding the Trump campaign. <a class="author" href=/authors/peter-weber><em>Peter Weber</em></a></p>

							 <p>Why should first lady Melania Trump be the only Trump with <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755090/stephen-colberts-late-show-splices-together-trump-valentines-day-message-melania" target="_blank">her own late-night video tribute</a>? Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, she's not. "The White House is releasing their own line of Valentine's Day cards this year — have you heard about this?" Kimmel asked on Tuesday's <em>Kimmel Live</em>. "That's because we made it up, but it was funny — I guess we're at the point where anything is believable." He ran through valentine cards from President Trump, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump sons Don Jr. and Eric, Jared Kushner, and GOP congressional leaders Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. Kimmel even found a card for White House adviser and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller — it's a doozy — but Vladimir Putin's card is the most topical. Watch that, and Kimmel's theories on Valentine's Day, below. <var class="author">Peter Weber</var></p>

							 <p>Prince Henrik, the outspoken husband of Danish Queen Margrethe, <a href="https://apnews.com/16c897f2ff194bd5a5b1c2cb0c8253f4/Prince-Henrik,-husband-of-Danish-monarch,-dies-at-age-83" target="_blank">died Tuesday night.</a> He was 83.</p>
<p>In January, Henrik, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2017, was hospitalized with a lung infection. The royal palace said he was moved on Tuesday to his home north of Copenhagen, and he died surrounded by the queen and their sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim.</p>
<p>Prince Henrik was born in France on June 11, 1934, the son of a count and countess. His name was Henri Marie Jean Andre de Laborde de Monpezat; when he married Margrethe in 1967, his name was changed to Henrik and he became a Lutheran. Henrik often spoke about the frustration he felt over not having equal status to his wife and son Frederik — in the 1980s, after he complained publicly, a law was changed so he received a paycheck rather than relying on the queen, and last August, he caused a stir by saying he did not want to be buried next to Margrethe in the custom-designed sarcophagus waiting for the couple at Roskilde Cathedral. This bucked tradition, but Margrethe agreed.</p>
<p>Henrik held several honorary ranks in the Danish military, including general in the army and air force and admiral in the navy, bestowed to him as a member of the royal family. In addition to his wife and two sons, he is survived by eight grandchildren. <a class="author" href=/authors/catherine-garcia><em>Catherine Garcia</em></a></p>

							 <p>President Trump has gone from scrapping the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program to promising, <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/747814/white-house-omits-trump-agreeing-clean-daca-bill-from-transcript-calls-accidental" target="_blank">on camera</a>, to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/09/us/politics/trump-daca-immigration.html" target="_blank">sign any "bill of love"</a> to protect DACA recipients that Congress sends him to, last weekend, <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/754543/senate-preps-immigration-debate-trump-lobs-accusations" target="_blank">accusing Democrats</a> of not being serious about negotiating a bipartisan DACA replacement. Now, <a href="https://www.axios.com/trump-threatens-veto-on-1518567345-e8f00a68-9185-47fa-85f0-4722f56a4e39.html" target="_blank">a senior administration official tells <em>Axios</em></a> that Trump "will veto any bill that doesn't advance his common-sense immigration reforms," severely undermining the immigration legislation <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/754893/senate-debates-immigration-trump-warns-last-chance-daca-deal" target="_blank">being forged in the Senate</a> this week.</p>
<p>One of the proposals before the Senate <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/754893/senate-debates-immigration-trump-warns-last-chance-daca-deal" target="_blank">does roughly match</a> the four pillars Trump wants to see in an immigration bill, but the three parts not dealing with DACA focus on long-term curtailing of legal immigration and funding Trump's border wall. "There's almost zero chance the Senate approves a bill Trump will like," <a href="https://www.axios.com/trump-threatens-veto-on-1518567345-e8f00a68-9185-47fa-85f0-4722f56a4e39.html" target="_blank"><em>Axios</em> notes</a>. The senior White House official, who <a href="https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/963620307197153282" target="_blank">may or may not be Stephen Miller</a>, told <em>Axios</em>' Mike Allan and Jonathan Swan that Democrats who oppose Trump's approach will "be walking into a political suicide march," but Democrats don't seem to be too concerned.</p>
<p>"Their spin is laughably bad," <a href="https://www.axios.com/trump-threatens-veto-on-1518567345-e8f00a68-9185-47fa-85f0-4722f56a4e39.html" target="_blank">a Senate Democratic official tells <em>Axios</em></a>. Trump "ended the [DACA] program. He would be deporting them. Who in their right mind would blame Democrats?" Trump is "using DREAMers as leverage to achieve immigration policies that are broadly unpopular," the Democrat added. Polls show broad support for giving DREAMers — young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children — legal status or citizenship. Two federal judges have <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755062/second-federal-judge-blocks-trumps-order-end-daca" target="_blank">ordered the Trump administration to continue the DACA program</a>, at least temporarily, making Trump's March 5 deadline more or less moot. <a class="author" href=/authors/peter-weber><em>Peter Weber</em></a></p>

							 <p>An adorable ball of fluff — also known as Flynn, a 5-year-old bichon frise — was named Best in Show Tuesday night at the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.</p>
<p>His handler, Bill McFadden, has been showing the breed at the show since 1991, and he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/sports/westminster-dog-show.html" target="_blank">told <em>The New York Times</em></a> he thought this would be Flynn's last year competing. "It feels a little unreal," he said. "I came in expecting nothing and just hoping for a good performance and I think I got it." Other finalists included Lucy, a borzoi; a pug named Biggie; Slick the Border collie; the giant schnauzer Ty; Bean the Sussex spaniel; and Winston, a Norfolk terrier. Betty-Anne Stenmark, a longtime judge who has bred Saint Bernards, Salukis, and Dandie Dinmont terriers, had the jealousy-inducing job of choosing the winner.</p>
<p>Before the show, McFadden and his wife, Taffe, described what it takes to get Flynn ready: He gets a bath, and after being dried and trimmed, he's retrimmed several more times. They use shampoo, conditioner, and hairspray, plus a powder called Fairy Frost that "dries the drool on their face," Taffe McFadden told the <em>Times</em>. "You use a little bit of everything. It's a beauty show." <a class="author" href=/authors/catherine-garcia><em>Catherine Garcia</em></a></p>

							 <p>For seven months, Trenton Lewis would walk 11 long miles to work, getting up way before dawn in order to arrive on time for his 4 a.m. shift.</p>
<p>When he was hired for the job at a UPS facility in Little Rock, Arkansas, Lewis, 21, didn't have transportation and "was banking on my feet," <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/health/iyw-single-dad-car-surprise-trnd/index.html" target="_blank">he told CNN.</a> A single father to 14-month-old Karmen, he never told his coworkers about his trek, because "my pride is strong," he said, and he would do whatever necessary to provide for his child. Despite his attempt to keep this under wraps, coworker Patricia "Mama Pat" Bryant found out Lewis was walking 11 miles each way to and from work, and she quietly came up with a plan: She would raise enough money to buy Lewis a car.</p>
<p>Their colleagues pitched in, and the team came up with $2,000 to purchase a used car. Bryant's husband, Kenneth, fixed a tiny blemish on the bumper, and the 2006 Saturn Ion was ready for Lewis. His co-workers told him to come outside for a quick union meeting, and that's when they surprised him with his new wheels. He thanked everyone for their support and promised he was "never going to forget this, ever." As for his first trip, it was to pick up Karmen so they could eat lunch together. <a class="author" href=/authors/catherine-garcia><em>Catherine Garcia</em></a></p>
