WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump spread distorted information about the U.S. economy and his administrations involvement with historically black colleges in a preening performance Tuesday at the Davos economic conference in the Swiss Alps.
A sampling of his remarks:
TRUMP, on historically black colleges and universities: I saved HBCUs. We saved them. They were going out and we saved them.
THE FACTS: Thats a big stretch.
Trump signed a law in December restoring money that lapsed for several months when Congress failed to reauthorize some $255 million in financing on time. The money came back because Senate education leaders reached a compromise on a broader dispute that had entangled financing for black schools.

(20,016 posts)1. When did Donny decide to go to Davos?
2. When was the date of the Senate trial announced?
Just wondering if he wanted to be overseas in order to have more "options" just in case some Senators should decide to turn on him and blow the lid off this thing. In Davos he's a lot closer to Mother Russia.
