Selena Zito: President Trump announced in Beijing that the US and China had signed an $83.7 billion memorandum of understanding to create a number of petrochemical projects in West Virginia over the next 20 years.  If the agreement holds tight, it is an economic game changer for the state.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: In the Times’ view, there are only two reasons to question Mueller’s credibility: insanity or treason….The animating impulse for the assault is obvious — the Times is locked into its mission of destroying President Trump, and, like Hillary Clinton, still cannot accept Trump’s election as legitimate.

The New York Post

Paul Sperry: There was nothing illegal about what Papadopoulos did. The only crime alleged in the indictment is that he lied to federal agents when they asked him about the contacts last January.

Michael Goodwin:  Mueller served as head of the FBI for more than four years under President Obama and cannot be expected to investigate his former colleagues and bosses.  But without that necessary step, his work would be incomplete at best. So it’s time for him to say ­bye-bye.

The New York Post

Rich Lowry: The populist Trump has operated within constitutional lines better than his technocratic predecessor, who used tendentious readings of the law and sweeping bureaucratic actions to impose his policies on immigration, health care, college campuses and the environment.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: Did Obama or somebody working for him put Trump under surveillance during or after the election for the purpose of a political coup?  It’s a frightening question, all the more so because I suspect the answer will be yes — if we can ever get to the truth.

The New York Post

Rich Lowry: The Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale” won eight Emmys on Sunday night, a sweep fueled, in part, by the widely accepted belief in liberal America that the show tells us something about the Trump era.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: Growing the economic pie so more people can participate is more moral than merely redistributing the existing pie, just as a government committed to individual liberty is more moral than one that restricts personal choice in the name of fairness.  On that score, Trump’s economic policies, those he campaigned on and those he is trying to implement, have a high moral potential.

The New York Post

John Podhoretz: The president did something absolutely horrifying in that press conference. He bristled at the use of the term “alt-right” by a reporter and demanded to know from her what she meant by it.

The New York Post

Editorial: ‘We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides,” said President Trump on Saturday. Really: That was it.

The New  York Post

John Podhoretz: I couldn’t live with myself if I supported a president who can’t bring himself to denounce Nazis and white supremacists unqualifiedly and by name.

The New York Post

Rich Lowry: The exchange illustrated how advocates of high levels of immigration are often the ones who — despite their self-image as the rational bulwark against runaway populism — rely on an ignorant emotionalism to make their case.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: The Mooch comes, the Mooch goes, but the real news, the good news, is that there is now going to be order in the court of Donald Trump.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: For all the intrigue about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower, and for all the hyperventilating by Maxine Waters Democrats that this was the “gotcha” moment, the end result was the same: more smoke, yet still no fire.

The New York Post

During a heated Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chief John Podesta made a series of misleading statements when questioned about his involvement in a company that received $35 million from the Russian government while Clinton served as secretary of state.

The New York Post

So Trump may not be too far off on this one, although journalists were amused that this might be nothing more than another conspiracy theory.  Don’t count on that.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: What started as bias against Trump has become a cancer that is consuming the best and brightest. In rough biblical justice, media attempts to destroy the president are boomeranging and leaving their reputations in tatters.

The New York Post

The paper’s already damaged reputation took a big hit last week when former FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress that the Times screwed up in a key story that tried to make the case that Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russians during the election.

The New York Post

Michael Goodwin: By his actions, Comey reveals himself to be a fellow traveler with Never Trumpers. His firing brought him out of the shadows and into the open “resistance” to the president.

The New York Post

Editorial: “Amid all the furious debate on the political impact of former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony, one thing stands out: The biggest loser is the elite media.”

The New York Post

Editorial: “To date, the “cloud” over Trump is made entirely of conjecture, rumor and anonymous leaks. The public deserves hard evidence.”

The New  York Post

Columnist Linda Chavez: “Turning the story of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election into a partisan issue helps further Russian aims, and the real loser is American democracy.”

The New York Post

Editorial: “Under Paris, as Trump noted, the United States would’ve had to close all its coal plants, even as China builds hundreds more — and coal still generates a third of US electricity.”

The New York Post

Columnist Betsy McCaughney: “The president’s budget is exactly what he ran and won on: less government, more jobs, school choice, strong defense, health care for vets and compassion for the working stiff whose taxes are wasted in Washington.”
